The town's name, meaning "the mouth of the Ystwyth," reflects its position on the stunning west coast of Wales. With a population of just under 16,000, Aberystwyth serves as a cultural bridge between North and South Wales, and with the eminent presence of Aberystwyth University, proves itself as an intellectual hub since 1872.

The town consists of five distinct areas including the bustling town centre, historic Llanbadarn Fawr, scenic Waunfawr, picturesque Llanbadarn, vibrant Trefechan, and the populous Penparcau. Visitors to Aberystwyth are spoilt for choice with the wealth of historic sites, such as the castle remains and the Old College, and the breathtaking landscapes offered by Cardigan Bay and the Cambrian Mountains.
