Aberystwyth Cliff Railway 2025

The most relaxing way to enjoy this majestic panorama is to travel by train on the longest funicular electric cliff railway in Britain, which has been transporting visitors to the summit since opening in 1896. On a clear day one can see 26 mountain peaks spanning much of the length of Wales.

Once at the summit visitors can experience the views afforded by the one of the world’s largest Camera Obscuras, with its huge 14 inch lens which takes a bird's eye view of more than 1,000 square miles of land and seascape in a 360 degree sweep around Aberystwyth, a view reflected onto the circular screen in the darkened viewing gallery below.
