Aberystwyth is an old market town and popular holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Locals often call it Aber, and it is situated close to the join of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
The University of Aberystwyth was founded in 1872 and has had a big student population ever since. At the 2001 census, 13,040 people lived in the town, not including the additional 10,000 students expected between September and June.
Although the name of the town implies that the River Ystwyth runs through Aberystwyth, it actually 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 spot that has a cable railway and a Victorian camera obscura at the top.
There is evidence that the area around Aberystwyth had inhabitants during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers might have utlised the local flint to make weapons as the ice receded. There are also the remains of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had settlers prior to 700AD.
