Aberystwyth is a historic market town and well-known holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Locals often call it Aber, and it lies close to 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 in the town, not including the additional 10,000 students expected 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 runs from Constitution Hill to the mouth of the harbour. Constitution Hill is a hill and walking area that has a funicular railway and a Victorian camera obscura at the crest.
There is evidence that the area around Aberystwyth had settlers during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers might have utlised the local flint to create weapons as the ice shrunk. There are also the ruins of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had settlers prior to 700AD.
