Aberystwyth is surrounded by beauty in every single direction. Nestled between the Cambrian Mountains and Cardigan Bay it provides a rugged landscape of rolling hills, valleys, sand and sea and we will highlight the pros of such an amazing location.

There is plenty to do both inside and outside of Aberystwyth. Inside Aberystwyth you can enjoy a night of live music, stand-up comedy, a fun night out with friends, or stroll up to the National Library of Wales. Outside of Aberystwyth there are great outdoor locations which provide great spots for wandering through woodland, trekking up hillsides or cycling down mountain bike trails.
