Aberystwyth Cliff Railway

A must do it in Aberystwyth. The views from the top are spectacular, on a clear day, you can really see for miles.
Nice cafe/bar at the top, great place to sit and enjoy a cream tea.
I would have rode up and walked back down if I had realised how good the trip back down would be, oh well, next time perhaps.

A wonderful charming place is Aberystwyth. The views afforded by the cliff railway were simply astonishing and almost eclipsed those from the meandering roads entering the city. The railway was moderately priced but you forgive this for the depth of the experience and the enormity of the surround.

Loved it! We were lucky enough to get a parking space outside the entrance. There are not many spaces and the rest park on streets leading up to it.
We took our dog on no problem and no charge.
It's a great view going up, you can stand on the end for the best view or sit inside further back, still a great view.
There is a little gap between the carriage and the platform and some big steps that might be a little awkward for disabled people to navigate.
At the top is a brilliant view, you can rest at a nice cafe or walk a little bit up to a gift shop, viewing tower and Frisbee game thing. There is also a little bowling alley near the cafe.
We were lucky enough to see 4 RAF planes circle across the mountains and the sea whilst we were up there.
The food from the cafe was lovely, easy to order from an app too.
You can walk down or like us just get a return ticket (£6.50 each Adult) and go to the train when you are ready, we didn't wait more than a couple minutes to go up or down.
I would highly recommend a visit here. It just might be worth using the park and ride if you want to visit the rest of Aberystwyth whilst you're there, parking after we went here was impossible on the sea front.

Enjoyed our little trip up and down the cliff for a small price of just over £10 for the 2 of us. Great views of the Bay from above. Which have also entertainment places for young ones like bowling crazy golf. Camera obscure and gift shop also cafe and toilets. The ride itself only takes a couple of minutes. Worth the visit ideal for everyone

Nice walk to the top, doesn't take that long at all. The time it took to queue for the train up, we had walked up and ordered at the cafe by the time the rest of our party had joined us. So don't be put off walking up if you're able to. Lovely views of Aberystwyth below.

The view is amazing! Quite a touristy spot that the wait time could be long. It was a fun experience and to see the beach and the harbor area from the high point. They are dog friendly, so nice to see dogs are allowed in the train ride. There’s a cafe up there. Enjoyed the spot and views very much!

Lovely little trip out. wheelchair and buggy accessible. The staff are very helpful. You Can purchase a one way ticket and walk back down, which is lovely if able to do so. Very nice cafe at the top, fairly reasonably priced. Stunning views. Can take your dogs.

Fantastic time. Really enjoyed it reasonable priced and beautiful views. Windy at the top to be expected but added to the fun of it. Cafe at top good prices and staff helpful. Would love to go again and walk along the path.
