Aberystwyth is an old market town and popular holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Residents often call it Aber, and it lies near the join of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
The University of Aberystwyth was founded in 1872 and has had a vast 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 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 funicular railway and a Victorian camera obscura at the top.
There is evidence that the space around Aberystwyth had settlers during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers might have used the local flint to assemble weapons as the ice shrunk. There are also the remnants of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had inhabitants before 700AD.
