Fantastic restaurant overlooking Cardigan Bay. Top quality freshly-cooked food all sourced locally and presented with style and innovation.

Cardigan Bay fresh lobster simply steamed and served with clarified butter, homemade bread and a fantastic bottle of New Zealand Sauvingnon Blanc is an absolute delight.

Great chance to record sightings of dolphins, porpoises etc with a trained observer as part of National Whale and Dolphin Watch week.

All sorts - exhibitions, shows, eating, bars, book and record shop, magnificent views over the town and the bay. Slightly out of the way to the casual visitor and apparently part of the university campus, which may be offputting, but easy to find at the top of Penglais Hill and worth the effort.

Much, much more than a library, and open to everyone. There's something for everyone: exhibitions, an auditorium for film showings and lectures, educational activities, tours behind the scenes, shop, Pen Dinas restaurant, and fantastic views over Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay.

Travelling west, start at the Druid, a fine village local with keen young hosts, well-kept ale, good food. Move on to Tynllidiart Arms for more good beer (some brewed on site in world's smallest commercial brewery), longer menu but without compromising quality. Finish in Aberystwyth at Ship & Castle - no food at all, just constantly changing range of tiptop beers in buzzing streetcorner alehouse with trad music Wednesdays.

Three excellent but contrasting pubs, all linked by a daytime bus route.

This is a really stylish and comfortable cafe/bar in the middle of the town. It is a great place to drink a (good) coffee and read the papers while you wait for your wife to look at the shops and then buy her a simple lunch and decent glass of wine! I have never been there in the evening but I believe they sometimes have (gentle) live music.
