Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth is a substantial seaside town in Cardiganshire. It is a historic market town and holiday resort, as well as a university town. It stands where the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol meet; its name means "Ystwyth mouth".

Since the late 19th century, Aberystwyth has also been a major Welsh educational centre, with the establishment of a university college there in 1872. The town's population was officially 15,935 in the 29 April 2001 census, but during nine months of the year, there is an influx of students swelling the town greatly. (Read more)
