5 Top-Rated Day Trips from Cardiff, UK
On the southern coast of Wales, Cardiff is the perfect place from which to explore the Welsh countryside. From here, you can access the country's two most important national parks, Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons, the latter less than an hour's drive through stunning scenery (while Snowdonia takes a little longer to access, it is also a must-visit). Other great day trips from Cardiff include exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline and its many pleasant towns, including Carmarthen, the legendary birthplace of Merlin, along with Swansea, one of the busiest cultural centers in the country. Also worth checking out are the many museums dedicated to Wales' industrial past, including the massive Rhondda coal works and the Museum of the Welsh Woolen Industry in Cardigan (and yes, Wales does have a lot of sheep!).

12 Best Towns to Live in Wales
What are the best towns in Wales? We do not get to hear a lot about cities and towns in Wales, not as much as we do about those in England and Scotland. However, whenever the towns to live in the UK are ranked, Welsh towns find their way in. That inevitably reveals the best places to live in Wales. Sorting through the ranking, we are able to isolate the 12 best towns to live in Wales. Please bear in mind that our ranking relies to a large extent, but not entirely, on the most recent ranking of towns in Britain in the marketing report by the property finder company, Garrington’s. Factors considered are employment, green spaces, physical environment, quality of living, and architecture or heritage.
12. Narberth, Pembrokeshire
Just two years ago, Narberth was among the 8 Welsh villages and towns named the best places to live in the UK. It actually tops that ranking. Two years later, things are only getting better. A reputable online mortgage broker gives the town's average property price as 164,950 pounds. You can’t rush through your shopping in this beautiful small town. There are a lot of good and uncommon things to be bought and at reasonable prices there. On the high streets of this town are antique shops, vintage and craft outlets, award-winning cafes, delicatessens featuring local produce, restaurants and pubs among others. It also has a museum and romantic castle ruins. It has very good schools and great transport links.
11. Usk, Monmouthshire
Usk, a town and community in Monmouthshire, stands out in Wales. This town located 16 kilometers northeast of Newport is on the River Usk and is spanned by an arched stone bridge toward the western entrance to the town. This is a town with well-designed homes and bursting with community spirit.
We perfectly agree with the Sunday Times’ expert judges ranking Usk among the loveliest towns to live in Wales. Truly, on a more important note, a look at the air quality, school standards, broadband speed, and transport in this town will necessitate its inclusion here. It also ranks so well for green spaces, community culture, and the health of the attractive high street.
10. Glanaman, Carmarthenshire
Glanaman is another town with an overall high rank among the best towns to live in Wales. Out of 1372 places ranked in the United Kingdom, it ranks 71st. In the same ranking, we find it in the second position for natural beauty. For the quality of life rank, it holds the 200th position while its architectural beauty places it in the 796th position. As for green rank, it finds a place in number 555.
This town has a strong historical link to the ancient coal mining industry. Sited in the valley of the River Amman, Glanaman’s average family home cost is less than 350,000 pounds.
9. Blaenavon, Torfaen
Blaenavon, a town in Torfaen, is another Welsh town steeped in history. It was at one point the world giant among the important producers of iron, coal, and steel.
On the quality of life, it was the 69th best place to live in the UK while for natural beauty, it’s in the enviable third position. It’s also in the impressive 7th position for architectural beauty. The average family home costs less than 350,000 pounds. It would have ranked higher on this list but for its poor ranking for green space.
8. Brecon, Powys
Brecon in Powys, another market town, is also among the loveliest towns to live in Wales. The town is reputable for its annual scintillating jazz festival and its gorgeous cathedral is situated just within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

10 Worst Towns to Live in Wales
What are the worst towns to live in Wales? We don’t want to make it boring. Otherwise, we would have listed all the towns in Wales in the order of how they are considered good. Even if we could do that, some people may view such a listing as conjectural. Towns considered good by a reviewer may be seen as bad by another. But then, for the sake of this production, let’s assume that all the towns in Wales are good. But they can’t all be equally good. If some had higher degrees of goodness, yes, they are better. And if some towns are better than others, the logic follows that some are worse. On that positive note, let’s discuss the 10 worst towns to live in Wales.
10. Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale, the town at the head of the valley which is formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River is the largest town in Blaenau Gwent county borough. Its direct access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys trunk road doesn’t make it a good place to live in Wales. The town bordering the Brecon Beacons National Park Ebbw Vale isn’t economically viable with the second-lowest mean salary in Britain. In fact, for the people to survive, 5 food banks are operating in the community. This has also affected the town educationally. This is indicated by its having the worst GCSE results in Wales. Meanwhile, Ebbw Vale is the town with the cheapest home price in England and Wales as no one would be willing to buy a home in a place very bad to live in.
9. Pontypool
As we think about Pontypool, we’re filled with the emotion of love for the residents of the people. No, this doesn’t mean we love to live among them or envy their situation. We only salute their resilience that makes them remain in a town without no places to visit, no nightlife, no restaurants and bars, and with zero social life. This administrative center of the county borough of Torfaen has nothing like a sense of community. Ironically, there’s no privacy in this town as almost everyone will notice your presence or absence. Your financial status is in public knowledge. Care needs to be taken in such a town to select a date if you don’t want to have an incestuous amorous affair.
8. Llangefni
The case of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey, whose name in Welsh means meaning “church on the River Cefni,” is pathetic. The town which is home to the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council and the second largest settlement in that county has too many bad reviews. But to stay on a kinder side, we would side with those who consider it one of the worst Welsh towns to live because of the number of old people in the town. The town is actually gradually taking up the appearance of old peoples’ homes as it has a higher percentage of older people. That should tell you that the town is boring and is economically disadvantaged. The town’s unemployment rate is higher than the national average.
7. Port Talbot
What image does the name of the town, Port Talbot evoke? If you choose to turn a blind eye to the negatives, you are likely to see a town and community of the home of one of the biggest steelworks in the world. That is cute. But that economic opportunity which covers a large area of land, dominating the southeast of the town does not come without a cost for the town. The environmental pollution this has caused for the town some 13 kilometers from Swansea has made it one of the worst places to live. The town is filled with the stench from this and other dirt dominating the place.
6. Llantwit Major
Our attention is now on Llantwit Major, a community on the Bristol Channel coast. This is one of 4 towns in the Vale of Glamorgan. The community located about 7.2 kilometers from Cowbridge, 14 kilometers from Bridgend, 16 kilometers from Barry, and 24 kilometers from Cardiff has not allowed these nice locations to rub off on it. It is one of the 10 worst places in Wales on this list for anyone who cares about safety. The crime rate there is rather on the high side and this is obviously inimical a good living. We would recommend living in any other place in Wales before mentioning Llantwit Major.

12 Most Loved Towns in Wales
What are the most loved towns to live in Wales? You need to appreciate the features of the best towns in Wales to understand why Welsh love their towns and cities. And we love them too! You can gain some insight into what we are saying by considering the report by Garrington, a property finder company, on the ranking of the villages, towns, and cities in the United Kingdom based on the four categories of the physical environment, quality of living, architecture or heritage and going green. The nominated places were assessed by expert judges on the basis of factors such as schools, transport, broadband speed, and health of the high street, from all that, we present these 12 most loved towns in Wales for your consideration.
12. Porthmadog, Gwynedd
If the coastal town of Porthmadog could rank third best in Wales and 42nd in the UK as a whole, it should be loved by not only the residents but also the visitors. What brought this town to our list is its high ranks for both natural and architectural beauty. Yet, it’s not such a green town for it doesn’t rank so good in that regard. Nevertheless, you’re likely to love a beautiful town where the average family home is not up to 350,000 pounds.
11. Narberth, Pembrokeshire
The town of Narberth in Pembrokeshire in west Wales was once known as home to Pwll, Prince of Dyfed, in the Mabinogion. The excitement of its nomination in the Google Street View Awards as the home of Britain’s best shopping street is fetching it much love. Other things making it a lovable town are the Narberth Food Festival and The Grove. This is a town where you can stroll in the Oakwood Theme Park.
10. Machynlleth, Powys
Machynlleth, a market town in Powys, is surrounded by rolling green fields that make it an awesome town in Wales. It’s surprisingly a cosmopolitan center. For education, it’s loved as the Centre for Alternative Technology, an eco-hub in Europe where everyone from school kids to engineers learns about the need to protect the planet. Foodies will fall in love with Ynyshir, a Michelin-starred restaurant whose reputation goes far and wide as the 12th best restaurant in the whole of the UK by the Good Food Guide.
9. Cardigan, Ceredigion
We can’t do without this pleasant town in Ceredigion. We too love the town not because it is homonymic to our lovely winter-resistant garb, no, not for its name, but because of its features. And we possibly can’t tell you all that here. But we shall try. Cardigan ranks 5th in Wales and 47th across the UK. The most important feature of this attractive town is the average home cost. With less than, 325,000 pounds, you can own a home. But then, it also ranks well for architectural beauty and quality of life. It’s not doing badly on green rank with a score of 247 out of 1372.
8. Barmouth, Gwynedd
Barmouth, a town in Gwynedd, is the 8th most loved town in Wales. If you saw our other videos about towns to live in Wales, you will appreciate why Barmouth will always be in good companies like this. It is lovable. Of course, we agree to place it in the 4th position on the list of the best towns to live in Wales and 46th in the whole of the UK. It’s less than the best rank in green rank mars the great score of 60 out of 1372 in natural beauty and equally that score in architec

Places to see in ( Pontypridd - UK )
Places to see in ( Pontypridd - UK )
Pontypridd is both a community and the county town of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, and is situated 12 miles north of the Welsh capital city of Cardiff. Pontypridd is often abbreviated to Ponty by local residents.
Pontypridd comprises the electoral wards of Cilfynydd, Glyncoch, Graig, Hawthorn, Pontypridd Town, 'Rhondda', Rhydyfelin Central/Ilan (Rhydfelen), Trallwng (Trallwn) and Treforest (Trefforest), and falls within the Welsh Assembly and UK parliamentary constituency by the same name.
Pontypridd lies alongside the dual carriageway north-south A470, between Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil. The A4054, running north and south of the town, was the former main road, and, like the A470, follows the Taff Valley. South of the town of Pontypridd is the A473, for Llantrisant and Pencoed. To the west is the A4058, which follows the River Rhondda to Porth and the Rhondda Valley beyond.
Pontypridd is noted for its Old Bridge, a stone construction across the River Taff built in 1756 by William Edwards. The history of Pontypridd is closely tied to the coal and iron industries; prior to the developments of these, Pontypridd was largely a rural backwater comprising a few farmsteads, with Treforest initially becoming the main urban settlement in the area.
Pontypridd community comprises the town centre itself, as well as the following key villages/settlements:
Cilfynydd
Coedpenmaen (Coed-Pen-Maen)
Glyntaff (Glyn-Taff)
Glyncoch
Graig
Graigwen & Pantygraigwen
Hawthorn (Y Ddraenen-Wen)
Hopkinstown (Trehopcyn)
Maesycoed (Maes-y-Coed)
Pontsionnorton (Pont Sion Norton)
Pwllgwaun
Rhydyfelin (Rhydfelen)
Trallwn (Trallwng)
Treforest (Trefforest)
Upper Boat (Glan-Bad)
Pontypridd also serves as the postal town for the community of Llantwit Fardre under the CF38 postcode district, although this area is not considered part of Pontypridd.
Pontypridd came into being because of transport, as it was on the drovers' route from the south Wales coast and the Bristol Channel, to Merthyr, and onwards into the hills of Brecon. Although initial expansion in the valleys occurred at Treforest due to the slower speed of the River Taff at that point, the establishment of better bridge building meant a natural flow of power to Pontypridd.
( Pontypridd - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Pontypridd . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Pontypridd - UK

12 Most Hated Places to Live in Wales
What are the most hated places in Wales? There are surely two sides to every coin. When you see the passion with which some people admire and love their homes in Wales and name nice seaside towns, dockyards, communities, villages, and hamlets in Wales, you will be left to wonder if there can ever be anywhere hated in Wales. Yet, there are places in Wales that are also passionately derided, mocked, and treated with utmost disdain. While doing our due diligence, we discover that some hated towns in Wales are not hated absolutely, not by all. In this video, we have compiled the list of the 12 most hated places to live in Wales. Please note that many of them are also among the worst towns in Wales.
12. Cwmbran
We’re kick-starting this in Cwmbran, a town in the county borough of Torfaen. A lot of terrible things have been said about the residents and the by fellow residents and outsiders. However, the main reason we are mentioning this town is the safety concern. While it might not top in the overall crime rates, you have to look more closely to find up to three towns of its status with a higher crime rate in Wales. Thus, this town is hated, not for environmental factors, but for human factors, occasioned by the residents.
11. Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay, a town, community, and seaside resort in Conwy County Borough on the northern coast has expanded to the point of becoming the second-largest community and business center in the north of Wales and the 14th largest in the whole of Wales. Yet, it has little or nothing to show for that economically. It’s a drab and miserable place to live. Compounding its woes are its high crime rates. Its beach is dirty and hasn’t shown anything for the efforts to make it better; the horrendous concrete building appears as if the last time it was maintained was 1970.
10. Aberdare
We once argued against the notion that this is a town loved by criminals. Yet, we can’t turn a blind high to the high crime rate of this town in the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf. As of the last check, it’s the third most dangerous small town in Mid-Glamorgan. You just need to see what we’ve discovered about this town in our video about the 12 worst places to live. If it is conveniently and justifiably listed in that ranking, we all know that no one will love to live in one of the worst places.
9. Fairbourne
Fairbourne, a tiny village nestled between Snowdonia National Park and the Irish Sea has been begging for a slot on this ranking. The place is currently facing an existential crisis, no thanks to the high risk of future flooding as a result of climate change. A while ago, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the organization in charge of flood management in Wales, spent £6.8m on strengthening 2.9 kilometers of concrete tidal defenses so that over 400 properties in the town can be protected from storm surges and flooding, and to complete other constructions. But we’re not happy to let you know that the Gwynedd Council, in charge of this village has said since 2014 that it couldn’t maintain flood defenses of the village indefinitely. By 2054 latest, the village will no longer be livable. Who would ever love to live in such a place?
8. Denbighshire
You might want to argue against the inclusion of Denbighshire on this list if you consider some of its towns like Llangollen, a community situated on the River Dee. However, when it comes to how good and convenient a place is for living, the entire county is generally hated, except for a pocket of towns there like Llangollen and Ruthin. Reviewers have not been generally kind to this county in the northeast of Wales.

Places to see in ( Pontyclun - UK )
Places to see in ( Pontyclun - UK )
Pontyclun is a village located in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Like the surrounding towns, it has seen a sharp increase in its population in the last ten years as people migrate south from the South Wales Valleys, and west from the capital city of Cardiff.
Pontyclun translates from the Welsh language as 'bridge [over] the River Clun', the Clun being a tributary of the River Ely that runs through Pontyclun. A bridge crosses the Afon Clun just above its confluence with the Ely.
The village is served by Pontyclun railway station on the South Wales Main Line. It has its own local rugby club. The village falls under the remit of Pontyclun Community Council, which represents the communities of Brynsadler, Castell y Mwnws, Groes-faen, Miskin, Mwyndy, Pontyclun, Talygarn, and Ynysddu (recently added, previously Llanharan
It was the influx of workers for the iron ore and coal mining industries, together with the coming of the South Wales Railway (in 1851) that changed Pontyclun from a 20-acre (8.1 ha) farm with just four to five households into a burgeoning Victorian industrial town. The Coedcae Colliery (first listed in 1856) and the Bute iron ore mine (which opened in October 1852) caused the population growth. By 1871, the census returns record an influx of Cornish miners who had suffered from the collapse of the copper mining industry in Cornwall. By 1870 the industries of the area had been expanded by the coming of the Ely Tin Plate Works, The Pipe Works and The Steam Joinery Company.
Pontyclun has both a football and rugby union team. Pontyclun Football Club were formed in 1896 and joined the Football Association of Wales in 1922. Pontyclun Rugby Football Club (otherwise known as the Pontyclun Badgers), were formed in 1886 and joined the Welsh Rugby Union in 1887. Pontyclun has produced at least one Welsh international, Tommy Rees who later played rugby league for Great Britain, and Oldham.
Bethel Baptist Chapel was built circa 1876. Bethel relocated to Bethel Baptist Church Centre on Heol Miskin in 1993. Cwrt Bethel is on the site of the old chapel. St Paul's church, Pontyclun was erected in 1895 as a district church within the parish of Llantrisant. In 1924, the new parish of Pontyclun and Talygarn was constituted from the parish of Llantrisant. Bethel Baptist Church, Hope Presbyterian Church and St Paul's Church are still active places of worship.
( Pontyclun - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Pontyclun . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Pontyclun - UK

12 Worst Places to Live in Wales
What are the worst places to live in Wales? This is tough, though, we know. But we have to lay it bare and mention it as we have felt it in the pulse of the people. Before we go on, however, we have to state emphatically that you can’t find a country that has every part of it equally great, glittering like gold. Every country has its own fair share of problems. Wales can never be an exemption. While there are naturally and architecturally beautiful places in Wales that we will happily recommend for anyone to live in, the region also has places considered terrible. Based on the reviews of those who have lived or are still living there, here are the 12 worst places to live in Wales.
12. Denbighshire
Denbighshire, a county in the northeast of Wales has been in the news for different reasons at different times. Today, we are looking at how good the place is for living. A website where residents of towns and cities review their residences has not been kind to this county. One of the reviewers decries what he described as running the gauntlet for the most dirt, adding that the streets, pubs, and shops are the most ridiculous in the UK. The review goes on to mention shops with a poor customer base.
11. Aberdare
In the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf, you will find the town of Aberdare at the confluence of the Rivers Dare and Cynon. The town 6 kilometer southwest of Merthyr Tydfil and 32 kilometers northwest of Cardiff is the third most dangerous small town in Mid- Glamorgan. And of the 68 towns, villages, and cities in Mid-Glamorgan, it is among the most dangerous places. In fact, the 2021 overall crime rate in Aberdare was 102 crimes per 1,000 people. This was 30 percent higher than the Mid-Glamorgan rate. In the whole of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Aberdare ranks high among the most dangerous small towns.
10. Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale, the largest town in Blaenau Gwent is on this list for good reasons. If you would love to buy a home anywhere in England and Wales, you would find the cheapest here. However, hardly would anyone enjoy living in a place with the second-lowest mean salary in the UK. And we don’t know what you would love to do in a town with one of the worst GCSE results in Wales. In this small area of about 108 square kilometers, five food banks operate indicative of how bad the place is financially and economically. Ebbw Vale is a story of the result of the deindustrialization of the 1980s. This is an example of a poor move from one form of economic life to another and diversification.
9. Pontypool
Let us consider also Pontypool, a town and the administrative center of the county borough of Torfaen. Located within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire, this town has given South Wales Valleys the description it doesn’t deserve. The major issue with this town is that everyone seems to know each other and their businesses. They can’t mind their business here and if you love privacy, Pontypool is one of the few places you have to avoid. A while ago, this town had one of the highest antisocial behaviors and crime rates in Britain. We wish we didn’t have to amplify that awful rating.
8. Llangefni, Wales
Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey, has too many bad reviews and ranking than what we can comment on. We have observed that what seems scary to those visitors isn’t too serious for many who were born there. However, what will make life boring for you in Llangefni is that the population as a whole is older than the national average. Unless you’re prepared to work as a nurse, that’s not a good place to live. Another issue is that the rate of unemployment there is higher than the national average.

A Stay At The Heritage Park Hotel - The Rhondda, Visit Wales
Our stay at the Heritage Park Hotel in the Rhondda, South Wales.

Read the full #HotelReview
The Rhondda Valley was once one of the world’s most important coal mining region. 53 collieries once dotted the blackened industrial landscape of the Rhondda valleys.
The Heritage Park Hotel is next to the Rhondda Heritage Park Mining Museum, the old site of the Lewis Merthyr coal mine.
The Heritage Park Hotel is in a good location if you want to explore Cardiff or the South Wales valleys, it is only 20 minutes from the M4 motorway and under 30 minutes from the centre of Cardiff.
When we stayed there many of the other guests were hikers touring the beautiful Welsh countryside, the hotel is also on the way to the Brecon Beacons National Park.

There are so many beautiful and interesting places to visit in Cardiff - UK. Check out this video for our 100 recommendation where to go list in Cardiff - Wales.
36 Hours in The Valleys South Wales
The Valleys region of South Wales has received some major tourism investment in recent years as it regenerates. A key barrier to this regeneration was removed last year with the scrapping of the road toll on the M4 which meant everyone had to pay to get into Wales.
The region has outstanding natural beauty – something for which Wales is known. What is unique about this region is its coal mining past which ended in the 1980s. Now, what were mining sites have been turned into interesting and quite cutting edge tourist attractions. It now offers many fantastic days out in South Wales.
Most importantly many of the sites of this region – both old and new – make for some very instagrammable places to visit in South Wales!
When it comes to fun places to visit in South Wales, the place you cannot miss in The Valleys is the Welsh Mining Experience. Someone very clever was responsible for turning what was once one of the most important coal mining areas in the world into a major tourist draw. I never would have thought I would find mining life so interesting!
The Welsh Mining Experience is held at the Rhondda Heritage Park. The park was once the Lewis Merthyr Colliery. Two mining pits opened in what is now the park in the 1850s. The Coal Industry enjoyed steady production and employment until alternatives started to become available in the 1950s. Production ceased at the Lewis Merthyr Colliery in 1983.
The site itself now holds several buildings as well as the engine rooms. The visitor’s centre has been beautifully constructed. There are mock-ups of what the butcher’s shop would have looked like, a chocolate shop that just uses local ingredients – as does the very Bracchi café which is on site.
The only real way to experience the park is to take the Black Gold Experience Underground Guided Tour. It is now one of the best places to visit in South Wales UK.
s tour seeks to bring the experience of working in the coal mines back to life. They have even employed former miners to lead the tours and they are fantastic characters. They share their personal stories of working in the mines as well as the history – and they are very amusing.
Llancaiach Fawr Manor dates back to the 1550s and was owned by the Prichard Family. All the furnishings in the home are accurate reproductions of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Gellihaf House is an absolutely lovely boutique bed and breakfast that also does a fantastic home-made afternoon tea on the weekends. Set in two acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, this is my kind of boutique property! The gardens are beautiful as you can see in this video.
Continuing with the theme of regenerating the areas that were devoted to mining, the 300-acre Parc Slip nature reserve was an opencast coal mine. Tragically, an explosion in 1892 took the lives of 112 men and boys – virtually wiping out a generation in this small area.
In 1989 the land was transformed into a nature reserve. It is now home to some of Wales’ rarest wildlife as well as many badgers, foxes, butterflies and other creatures. There are several hides throughout the reserve that can be visited for some nice photographic captures.
Finally, lovely Woodlands Bistro is a genuine hidden gem! This lovely restaurant is part of a community project and has the most stunning views across The Valleys. The restaurant (and bunkhouse which can be rented out) are on 37 acres of lovely land.
