ABERYSTWYTH

Aberystwyth is West Wales’ premiere seaside resort, a characterful town located on the beautiful shores of Cardigan Bay, set in unspoiled surroundings away from the industrial and urban conurbations but with good road and rail links. The coastline to the north and south abounds in fine beaches, while inland there are expanses of rolling moorland, dissected by wooded valleys, with the mountains of Cader Idris and Snowdonia within easy reach.

The Aberystwyth campus is probably the most spectacularly situated of all British universities, enjoying panoramic views of the town of Aberystwyth, the adjoining coast and the Irish Sea. The town is well served by a selection of cafes, bistros and restaurants and the proximity of the town and campus means everything in Aberystwyth is within walking distance.

"Aberystwyth is the liveliest resort in Wales, and capital of the sparsely-populated middle of the country. With one of the most prestigious colleges of the University of Wales and the National Library both in the town, there are plenty of cultural and entertainment diversions here, as well as an array of Edwardian and Victorian seaside trappings. As a town firmly-rooted in all aspects of Welsh culture, it's possibly the most enjoyable and relaxed place to gain the best insight into the nation's psyche" The Rough Guide to Wales Aberystwyth is served by good road and rail links. Approximate journey times by car are: from Cardiff, 21/2 hours; from Manchester, 3-4 hours; from London, 4-5 hours.
