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.

Hiking

Well worth the walk up to the top, the views over Aberystwyth, the cafe, the viewing platform. There is a cliff railway that is available should you wish to use it.
