For £8.50 (as of June 2025), take the Cliff Railway, arrive at the top of Constitution Hill, and enjoy wonderful views of Aberystwyth. The views in other directions are also worth the ride.

Although they were often erected a century ago (very often after the First World War from 1914 to 1918), the "war memorials" found almost everywhere in villages and towns are by no means mere relics of a bygone era. They still commemorate the victims of war and tyranny today. The design of the memorials varies from place to place, but they all have one thing in common: they continually remind us of the need to preserve peace.
