| Aberystwyth |


| Aberystwyth is a small town situated about half way along Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales. The first university in Wales was established there in 1872, and around 7,000 students take up residence during term time, thus swelling the population of the town considerably. The pier and excellent sea front make Aberystwyth a major tourist attraction. |
