Above: After walking north about
halfway, we look back south toward the Old College building. On our left are brightly painted
hotels, many with bars on the ground floor. They are four or five stories tall, some offering
rooms at the top with dormer windows. |
Above: A bit farther north we come to
the intersection with Terrace Road where we look to the right. Directly ahead is the
Ceredigion Museum
and Visitor Information Centre. Further along, heading east, are shops of all kinds and
pubs, pubs, pubs! There are more than 50 pubs in Aberystwyth. |
Above: Going north (on a sunnier day)
we pass several more hotels. Each one has been painted in bright, cheerful colors, which is
extremely helpful to a visitor trying to distinguish which one is his. Low tide reveals a very
inviting beach, especially on such a brilliant day. |
Above: My choice was this small,
cozy Queensbridge
Hotel at the northern end of the Promenade. My room was on the top
floor, the dormer window on the left. I loved leaving the window open and listening to the
waves breaking on the shingle (small rocks) on the beach below. |
Above and below: Views from my dormer
window on the first day of summer. Above: Looking south. The monument in the distance
is the Aberystwyth War Memorial. Below: Looking north. A handful of people take advantage
of the warm summer sun. |
Above: Spectacular sunsets were common,
no matter what the weather. This one occurred at about 10:00 p.m. on the evening of the summer
solstice after a brilliant, hot day.

As much as I enjoyed the seaside,
I had come to Aberystwyth to do research at the National Library. Please join me there for a few
more photos. Turn to page 3. |
