When I was in Wales at the end of March, I stopped off at the ruins of Aberystwyth castle. The castle dates from the Welsh war of the 13th century, and it was a location of the Royal Mint during Charles I and eventually had its downfall after Oliver Cromwell. This castle replaced another one that was located not too far away, and a town sprung up around the castle.
The castle is a short walk from parking and next to the seaside with views stretching out across the sea. There are some gardens around the walls of the castle.
I had a look around the ruins with views over the city.
The castle ruins and grounds seem to be a popular park and spot for walkers with their dogs or just to grab a bit of peace and quiet.
Upon leaving, I caught another view of the castle with multiple brightly-coloured terraced houses along the seafront.
