Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
This one is an obvious choice, but it’s a recipe for success every time. North Beach is perfect for paddling, has incredible views, and plenty of space to find your own little sunbathing spot - remember your sunscreen and be sensible if the sun has his hat on!
Why not take some beach games along and push Dad’s competitive streak with a game of volleyball? Or if you fancy chilling out, everyone loves the classic sand castle building!
Fan of a nice long stroll? You’re in luck - Aberystwyth’s beach has a 2,000 metre long prom!
For adults with more energy to burn, how about checking out the nightclubs and bars along the promenade?
From sand castles to the real deal.
The Grade I listed Edwardian Castle named after the market town of Aberystwyth, was around the time of The First Welsh War (during the 13th Century). Aberystwyth Castle is in a state of ruin and is fascinating to explore! We recommend reading up on Castle’s history before you go, it’s bound to enrich the whole experience. Also, did we mention the surrounding grounds are stunning and make the perfect place for a picnic?

On your bike
