Aberystwyth is a historic market town and well-known holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Locals often call it Aber, and it sits by the join of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
The University of Aberystwyth was established in 1872 and has had a big 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 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 runs 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 may have utlised the local flint to produce weapons as the ice shrunk. There are also the remains of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had settlers before 700AD.
