Aberystwyth is an old market town and well-known holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Locals often call it Aber, and it lies near the confluence 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 anticipated between September and June.
Although the name of the town indicates 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 peak.
There is evidence that the site around Aberystwyth had settlers during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers might have utlised the local flint to assemble weapons as the ice retreated. There are also the remnants of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had inhabitants prior to 700AD.
