reach the sea in Aberystwyth Harbour.
Aberaeron is a seaside town in

David Mayer.
Aberporth is a village in

Bay about six miles north of Cardigan and ten miles south of New Quay.
Aberystwyth is a historic
market town, administrative centre and holiday resort within Ceredigion,
Wales. It is often colloquially known as "Aber", and is located at the
confluence of the River Ystwyth and Rheidol. The indigenous population is
around 12,000, but for nine months of the year the 7,500 resident students

a further 1,000 people to the town's population, which gives the rural town
a somewhat cosmopolitan feel.
