About

Aberystwyth's Rheidol ward is a largely residential area situated on the town's southern side, bordering the estuary of the River Rheidol. It encompasses a mix of housing, from older terraced streets to modern developments, and includes the Parc y Llyn retail park. The ward extends to the rural fringes, containing farmland and the wooded slopes of Alltwen, which rises to the south.

The area is defined by its waterways, lying between the River Rheidol and the smaller River Ystwyth as they converge near the town's harbour. A notable feature is the preserved Vale of Rheidol Railway, whose steam trains travel from the town centre through the ward's outskirts into the scenic valley. The ward also contains the main campus for Coleg Ceredigion, a further education college.
