Nearby you can also enjoy Devil’s Bridge, a quiet village just outside Aberystwyth famous for its waterfalls and three stacked bridges.

Aberystwyth is home to the oldest of the Welsh universities founded in 1872. It now has some 10,000 students who almost double the population of the town during term-time.
