Attractions and Sights in Aberystwyth.

For the holiday visitor, Aberystwyth offers a curious mix of unusual attractions such as an electric cliff railway, a Victorian camera obscura, the National Library of Wales and a sweeping promenade that sees much less rain than you may expect for Wales!

The ruined Aberystwyth castle dates from the 13th century. Its grounds now contain gardens, a putting green and play area.

And of course, don't forget the county museum, preserving the history of Cardiganshire / Ceredigion, or the Vale of Rheidol Railway, a narrow-gauge railway along a picturesque route from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge.
