Living and Working in Aberystwyth
Aberystwyth is a historic market town with stunning views of Cardigan Bay. Located on the West Wales coast, Aberystwyth is much more than a seaside town. Apart from the University, Aberystwyth is home to a number of institutions of national significance, including the National Library of Wales, the Welsh Books Council and the Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
Overview Aberystwyth’s sweeping seafront is a favourite with visitors and locals alike. The winding Promenade is popular with walkers, joggers, skaters, bikers and those who just want to relax by the sea. Stroll along the full 2,000 metre length of the Promenade and you’ll pass a variety of Aberystwyth’s sights and landmarks. From the harbour and marina in the south and Constitution Hill to the north, you can enjoy a fresh sea breeze and beautiful panoramic view of Cardigan Bay and if you’re lucky, you may catch sight of dolphins and porpoises. Housing and Schools For families, Aberystwyth is home to a range of primary schools and two secondary schools with more on offer in the surrounding Ceredigion area. A range of properties are available, from town and suburb to rural, coastal and countryside homes.
