Historic Aberystwyth mapping from Bartholomew's distinctive Half-Inch mapping, reproduced as a wooden coaster.

What this map covers

Aberystwyth is shown within a wider mapped area that includes Penparcau, Clarach and Rhydyfelin, together with Constitution Hill and Pendinas.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 16 · Aberystwyth, 1905, focusing the original cartography around Aberystwyth rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

The Half-Inch series was designed to make a wide area useful to the traveller, showing how settlements, routes, and terrain fitted together rather than concentrating on property-level detail. Two miles are represented by one inch on the map, giving enough reach for a journey or region while keeping individual towns and routes legible.

Bartholomew's coloured treatment of relief gives the maps much of their visual identity, making the shape of uplands and lowlands readable before individual labels are examined. Complete coverage of Great Britain was achieved by 1903, and the series became closely associated with touring and cycling in the early twentieth century. This particular source was published in 1905.

A note on map detail

Historic map detail varies with product size and material. Use the listing close-ups as your guide to the exact crop and level of detail.
