Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales Driving time from Birmingham: two hours 45 minutes With the arrival of the railway in the 19th century, Aberystwyth attracted the attention of excitable Victorian holidaymakers. It was even once optimistically billed the Biarritz of Wales. While that flattering moniker has long since departed, the town still retains a faded grandeur – with its pastel-coloured terrace flanked by the towering Constitution Hill to the north and the ruins of the 13th-century Aberystwyth Castle to the south, the sand and shingle North Beach is set within a cinematic and weather-worn landscape. For more widescreen views, take the Aberystwyth Electric Railway to the top of Constitution Hill – on a clear day a splendid coastal panorama stretches out with the rugged peaks of Snowdonia to the north. Or soak up the views from the Royal Pier where you’ll find seaside favourites such as ice cream or fish and chips.
