Aberystwyth Electric Cliff Railway is the only one in Wales and the longest in Britain. With its 778 feet of undulating track and inclined carriages, the railway is unique to Victorian engineer G. Croyden Marks. Since 1921, a powerful electric motor and two high-tensile steel cables have hauled the carriages at a stately 4 miles an hour as they were first opened in 1896. On your way to the summit station, you will have time to admire the Victorians' ingenuity and enjoy the panoramic views.
On the summit is the biggest Camera Obscura in the world. The huge 14-inch lens takes a bird's eye view of more than 1000 square miles of land and seascape in a 360-degree sweep around Aberystwyth, a view reflected onto the circular screen in the darkened viewing of the gallery below.
