| 説明 | A visit to Aberystwyth on 24 September 2024. Views across the seafront to Constitution Hill.Although there has been a settlement here since the 12th century, centred on the hill to the south where a castle was erected early in the century, replaced in 1277 by the castle on the sea-front, development really started with the expansion of the harbour at the end of the 18th century, and even more so after the Cambrian Railways line reached here in 1864. A major impetus to growth came in 1872 with the establishment of the University College of Wales, later to become Aberystwyth University, and since 2007 University of Wales, Aberystwyth. It has a good international reputation, bringing many new languages to a significantly Welsh speaking town.From WikipediaThe Aberystwyth Cliff Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd y Graig) opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.The Cliff Railway was developed as an element of Constitution Hill, a Victorian business venture by the Aberystwyth Improvement Company in the 1890s. The funicular took visitors to the top of the hill, where attractions such as a camera obscura were established. The cliff railway was originally a water balance system, but it was electrified during 1921. cliff railway is now owned and run by Constitution Hill Ltd, a registered charity. A camera obscura was included in the 1890s theme park that included the railway and other attractions, but almost all had gone before a 1980s redevelopment in which a new camera obscura was accompanied by a cafe, play areas and a miniature golf course. |
