Aberystwyth is an old market town and popular holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Locals often call it Aber, and it sits by the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
The University of Aberystwyth was established in 1872 and has had a large student population ever since. At the 2001 census, 13,040 people lived there, not including the additional 10,000 students expected between September and June.
Although the name of the town suggests the River Ystwyth runs through Aberystwyth, it only borders it. Only the River Rheidol passes through the town.
Aberystwyth has a pier and a seafront that spans from Constitution Hill to the mouth of the harbour. Constitution Hill is a hill and walking area that has a cable railway and a Victorian camera obscura at the summit.
There is evidence that the site around Aberystwyth had inhabitants during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers may have utlised the local flint to produce weapons as the ice shrunk. There are also the ruins of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had settlers before 700AD.
