The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd y Graig) opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.
The line is one of four funicular railways in the UK built to the same basic design (the others were the Clifton Rocks Railway in Bristol; the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway in Devon; and the Constitution Hill Railway in Aberystwyth, Wales). With a maximum gradient of 64% it is one of the steepest railways in the country.
The Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway, or Southbourne Cliff Railway, is the worlds shortest public funicular railway [1] located in Southbourne (a seaside suburb of the English seaside resort of Bournemouth). The line serves to link the seaside promenade and beach, with the cliff top and the town behind.
