Local Attractions
There are many local activities and day out opportunities in the surrounding area. Below are some examples to give you an idea of what you can expect close by to the site and town.
The Vale of Rheidol Railway
The railway runs along 12 miles of Welsh countryside from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge. The slower pace of the steam train is the perfect way to take in the scenery and enjoy a more leisurely way of life for a few hours. A step back into history to experience the majesty of the steam railway with the trains dating between 1923 and 1928. The charity has also newly opened an engine display shed and event space ready for the coming seasons so that you can get up close and personal with the steam engines.
Devil's Bridge Falls
Devil's Bridge Falls hosts many unique waterfalls with the nature trails providing a great opportunity to view these natural features hidden in the Rheidol Gorge. Being only a few miles from us in Goginan and 12 miles from Aberystwyth it is a brilliant example of the beauty the local countryside has to offer. A day out not to be missed, especially if paired with a trip on the Vale of Rheidol Railway to round out the day.
Rheidol Riding Centre
Rheidol Riding Centre has been a staple in the valley for over 25 years and continues to be a great part of the local community. Offering riding opportunities to all ability ranges for hacks, treks and schooling sessions either in the indoor or outdoor arena or even cross country practise out in the fields there is something for everyone. Plus it's a fabulous way to do some exercise while taking in some breath taking views.
Bwlch Nant yr Arian Centre
Nant yr Arian is only a few miles from the site with stunning panoramic views. There is footpath access from the site if you like a good walk and a visitor centre open during peak season with a cafe, gift shop and toilets. Daily feedings of the red kites ensures they're always around and you're sure to see them circle up high and swoop into action. Several well trodden paths of varying lengths and difficulties pass around and through the centre for the avid walker.
Aberystwyth Cliff Railway
Within Aberystwyth the Cliff Railway rises dramatically to the top of Constitution Hill at the northern end of the promenade. Boasting uninterrupted views of Cardigan Bay it is a sought after photo spot with 26 mountain peaks visible on a clear day. The funicular electric cliff railway has been leisurely transporting passengers to the top since 1896 and is definitely a must see attraction.
