Lampeter is a small market town on the River Teifi with an outsized claim to fame: it's the UK's smallest university town.
An ancient seat of learning
St David's College was founded in Lampeter in 1827 by Bishop Burgess of St David's to train men for the Anglican priesthood. It went on to become the third-oldest university institution in England and Wales, behind only Oxford and Cambridge, and now forms part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
A big campus, a small town
Lampeter's own population was recorded at just under 3,000 in the 2011 census, with the university adding roughly 1,000 students during term time — enough to make it, by most counts, the smallest university town in the UK.
