Aberystwyth Cliff Railway

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cliff railway is the much less tiring way to get up to the top of Constitution hill. Not sure on the prices but I wish id of gone up just for the experience.

View of Aberystwyth from Constitution Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Constitution Hill is well worth the hike to the top for fantastic views of both Aberystwyth and Snowdonia to the north.

There is also a cliff railway that will take you from the bottom to the top (at a stately 4 mph!). The railway was opened in 1896 and is Britain's longest electric cliff railway.

Radar Station on the Coastal Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

Assumingly used in days gone by rather than nowadays. Still all fenced off etc.. but quite a random find really.
