Aberystwyth is a historic market town and popular holiday resort in Ceredigion, West Wales. Residents often call it Aber, and it is situated by the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
The University of Aberystwyth was established in 1872 and has had a vast student population ever since. At the 2001 census, 13,040 people lived there, 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 funicular railway and a Victorian camera obscura at the peak.
There is evidence that the space around Aberystwyth had settlers during the Mesolithic Age. Hunter-gatherers may have used the local flint to make weapons as the ice receded. There are also the remnants of a Celtic fortress on a hill overlooking Aberystwyth, meaning the site had settlers before 700AD.
