Aberystwyth Cliff Railway

Decided we needed to see the sea today, so drove to Aberystwyth for a walk along the the coast. The sea was very calm and the weather really pleasant.

A little excitement needed so a trip on the cliff railway was next stop. 

The railway opened in 1896 and the 778 feet undulating track and tilted carriages are unique. Built to ferry Victorian holiday makers 430 feet to the summit of Constitution Hill.  It was a most enjoyable ride and we had the carriage to ourselves.

Wonderful views as we slowly climbed the hill

Passing the down carriage, again with only one person on it.

I said smile for a selfie, and this is it!
