Aberystwyth Consti

Constitution Hill ('Consti' to the locals) is home to the longest electric cliff railway in Britain and the only one of its kind in Wales. First opened in 1896, the carriages will carry you all the way to the top of Consti at a stately four miles an hour. The views from the top are spectacular!

    My brother went to a Catholic Priest training seminary on Constitution Hill in 1976-78. It's the longish building halfway up the hill, and is easier seen from the bottom.I've no idea what the building is now, as the seminary closed many years ago.
