The local prostitutes are usually girls who came to try their hand at modelling, but, as this is Wales, they only get the knitting patterns and pictures in traditional Welsh dress for the lids of fudge boxes (" treadle trollops"). Another diversion from real Aberystwyth is the thriving " What The Butler Saw" movie industry, previously under the control of the Druids. Prostitutes wear stovepipe hats all the time, although very little else - this is a very sly look at traditional Welsh culture. Malcolm Pryce: Aberystwyth noir creator pens BBC Radio 4 play".

About the contributors

Welcome to our guide to things to do in Aberystwyth, the seaside ‘capital’ of rural Mid Wales, elegant Victorian coastal town, home to a great university and close to some of the most beautiful scenery in Wales. Aberystwyth became popular with tourists with the arrival of two railways in 1869. Many of the fine buildings along North Parade, the Promenade, date from this Victorian heyday, when the west Wales coast became accessible to many for the first time. Aberystwyth South Beach An aerial view of South Beach and Aberystwyth town On the way from the station to the falls and bridges (there are separate entrances for each), you pass the Hafod Hotel, which was built in the mid-19th century. If you love Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia, you’ll fall for this too. The drive to the Elan Valley is one of the best things to do around Aberystwyth. You could take a short cut there via the Cwmystwyth road, but to better appreciate the Elan Valley drive I’d suggest taking the A44 from Aberystwyth to where it meets the A470 at Llangurig, then head south to Rhayader and turn towards the Elan Valley from there.
