Towns and Villages in Mid Wales
The University town of Aberystwyth, with a population of approximately 15,000, is the largest town in the Mid & West Coast Wales region.
Many of the inland towns and villages in Mid Wales are rural market towns that follow the course of the two great Welsh rivers -the River Severn and the River Wye. Both rivers rise in the central uplands of the Cambrian Mountains.
On the Mid Wales coast, the most southerly town in the region is the historic town of Cardigan sited at the mouth of the River Teifi. Aberystwyth, in the centre of the region, lies on the mouth of the the river Ystwyth and in Southern Snowdonia you will find the seaside resorts of Aberdyfi, Tywyn and Barmouth on the Mawddach Estuary.
