Aberystwyth
The tiny seaside town of Aberystwyth in Northern Wales is the
historical heart of Wales and the birthplace of the Welsh language,
but it really knows how to have a good time. It is home to the
University of Wales and its 9,000 students, who take full advantage
of Aberystwyth's over 60 pubs and bars, as well as its restaurants
and shops. The town has beautiful views over Cardigan Bay, and
historical sites like the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle and
Constitution Hill are pleasant vistas and interesting attractions
in their own right. Aberystwyth also offers active pursuits like
watersports, hiking, boat trips and a steam railway.
