May 28, 2025,Wales Coast Path Borth - Aberystwyth

A great section of the Wales Coast Path and very convenient for a day trip. Take the train from Aberystwyth to Borth and then simply return along the coast. Along the way, you'll pass secluded spots as well as the bustling Constitution Hill, which is accessible by funicular. More on this soon in the Gipfelglück blog.

October 19, 2024,Wales Coast Path- Aberystwyth to Borth

A lovely coastal walk along the Wales Coast Path from Aberystwyth to Borth. We then got the train back from Borth to Aberystwyth, which takes 10 minutes. The Borth train station is worth a visit with amazing views overlooking the Welsh countryside and the start of Snowdonia National Park!
