My weekend in Aberystwyth

A Little Bookshelf On The Wall

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Sadly, I won’t be spending Valentines with Jack due to our long distance relationship, however I thought I’d share the lovely weekend we had together a few weeks ago, when I went to visit him in Aberystwyth.

Aber is a town in West Wales (UK) which is quite historical, has a beautiful beach front and a quaint yet modern town. It has a ruined castle, a harbour, and a variety of bars and clubs, one of which is on the pier.

After a coffee in Starbucks, we headed to the castle ruins, which gave us a perfect birds eye view of the town and Constitution Hill (which was unfortunately too wet to scale but we will definitely climb it next time!)

Despite the cold, the views I managed to capture are truly stunning, and I came back to Leeds feeling like I’d had a mini seaside break.
