Aberystwyth Castle grounds are free to access and is located right on the sea front, it’s an impressive castle ruins and well worth a visit while strolling the sea front.

We spent around 30 min pottering around before moving into the town centre. You can take dogs with you and is an ideal spot for a picnic.

We stopped along the marine drive in Aberystwyth and took the dogs for a walk on the beach.
Parking was limited but available. The public toilets are conveniently placed next to the castle ruins and a bit back from the road. You need 20p to get in and they are well kept and clean.
Amazing stone work on the castle ruins and the war memorial is a must see.

There no need of pre booking or buying tickets on arrival.

Never thought it will be free to enter

Very scenic site and larger are to cover.

Parkings available near by. But if you travel by train it’s literally under 1ins walk from station.

You won’t regret visiting here.

Hopefully wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 weather shows mercy.

Looks nice the rest of the castle. It is free, and you have an fantastic view from there. There is parking in front “ inside the church” nice to walk around.

🏰 While closely watched and maintained by the National Heritage "The Castle" is an iconic meeting place for Aberystwyth University students.

🧑‍🎓 I was lucky to live in Aberystwyth during my under and postgraduate studies and this historical landmark always offered solitude and a go-to place to show whoever was visiting.

🚶 The Castle Grounds overlook the seafront parade which span all the way down to the feet of another local landmark - Constitution Hill. This makes for am amazing walk.

What an absolute amazing castle ruins, I spent a good hour exploring the ruins, taking photos and videos, plus had a lovely walk along the promenade right down to the harbour watching the waves crash into the rocks was awesome, well worth a visit if you’re in Aberystwyth 😊😊 hope you enjoy the photos guys

Cool castle grounds, free to access and easy to walk around. Wheelchair friendly great location on the sea front so has some beautiful scenery surrounding the grounds. Doesn’t seem to get busy so don’t have to worry about crowds there are also toilet facilities close to the grounds
