Inspiration Wednesday – Aberystwyth
Today’s #InspirationWednesday is the West Wales town of Aberystwyth. This town offers everything – it’s tranquil and beautiful in location and has plenty of attractions and ways to fill your time!
Sat in Cardigan Bay, this coast is a popular holiday destination, with its sea front promenade, marina and pier. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants about and the town’s student population keep it bustling throughout the year. With the seafront streets lined with colourful Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian buildings, this is a pretty town to explore.
With its location off the Gulf Stream, the historic market town is generally a little warmer than you’d expect, and with its quaint shops and cafés, it’s a proud and smart town in which to live.
House prices here are fair, with a bit more cost for a town house – but you get what you paid for! Though the nearest towns of Shrewsbury and Swansea are a couple of hours drive, there are great schools and industry within the town, so you shouldn’t need to stray too far. And though the train journeys out of Aberystwyth are long, they are also incredibly scenic – you can’t have it all!
