The longest electric funicular cliff railway in Britain.
We are now open for the 2023 season.
An Aberystwyth landmark since 1896.
The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway can be found at the northern end of Aberystwyth promenade, where Constitution Hill rises dramatically from the sea to give spectacular and uninterrupted views of Aberystwyth, Cardigan Bay and on a clear day, 26 Welsh mountain peaks. The most relaxing way to enjoy this glorious panorama, is to travel on the longest electric funicular cliff railway in Britain, which has been transporting visitors to the summit since 1896.
Once there, visitors can experience one of the world’s largest camera obscuras, offering a bird’s eye view of 1000 square miles of land and seascape. Aside from these two technological masterpieces, there are fascinating historical displays, a kids play area, a gift shop, a cafe selling delicious home-made snacks and plenty of wide open spaces for picnics and walking, dogs are also welcome across the site.
Recently, the whole Cliff Railway complex has benefited from a full refurbishment. Now fully accessible, with much better protection from the elements, a small car park at the station, wheelchair friendly trains, a passenger lift providing wheelchair access from the train to the summit, and once there, wheelchair friendly pathways across the site.
With so much to see and do, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway offers a great day out for all. To find out more about the Cliff Railway or any of our other attractions, please feel free to call us on 01970 617642 and we will endeavour to answer any questions you may have.
With the fully accesible funicular cliff railway, camera obscura, games, cafe and restaurant, there’s so much fun for all the family on Constitution Hill.
Fine dining, business and social events, breathtaking views across Cardigan Bay, Y Consti delivers them all, day or night.
