Details:

An immersive 2 hr walk learning about Aberystwyth’s Victorian past; you get transported back to the sea faring Aberystwyth of the 1700s.

Meet Alison your able seaman for this voyage. As part of this immersive experience Alison will steer you through the choppy waves of time, detailing the maritime traditions and the Victorian heyday of Aberystwyth from past to present. Submerge yourself in the rich history of our seaside town as you meander your way along the streets; visiting important historic locations which are often hidden in plain sight. You will emerge baptised by knowledge and with a bounty of new quirky tales to tell your friends. Do you know the story of Aberystwyth’s own queer Master mariner? Or why hoop skirts aren’t advised for this tour? All will be made clear once you reach your final port.

You won’t need your sea legs for this tour, but we do suggest a pair of comfortable walking shoes. Your voyage will last over 2 hours where there will be a stop for a refreshment halfway through. This series of walks is being supported by MASHED who will offer all sailors a complementary beer or wine tasting experience as part of the tour. Places are limited, so book now to avoid being thrown overboard!

“Aberdabbado’s guided tours are extremely entertaining and you learn a lot about the town and it’s history. Alison is very enthusiastic and creative; I always enjoy her tours very much and can highly recommend her.”
