A new audio tour of the untold stories of Aberystwyth has been compiled by the town’s museum.
The free audio tour, called ‘It Happened in Aber’, consists of a map and a series of stories relating to five Aberystwyth locations, and it begins and ends at the museum.
The tour is perfect for passing the time over the festive period. It will be of interest both to residents of Aberystwyth, and to visitors who wish to learn more about the town’s colourful history, and the characters, events and stories that have shaped it.
Carrie Canham, Ceredigion Museum curator, said: “This year has highlighted the importance of being able to engage in a digital world and this project rises to the new needs of our audiences.
“Heritage is about so much more than dates and famous people and places, and we wanted to capture stories that you would normally hear in a pub, at a school reunion or over coffee. Stories that connect us to our hometown.”
Cllr Catherine Hughes, Ceredigion County Council cabinet member for culture, said: “I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about the stories that shaped Aberystwyth as the town it is today to visit Ceredigion Museum’s website to access this brilliant tour.
The project is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Cadw.
