14 Best Small Towns to Live in Wales
What are the best small towns to live in Wales? Some of the most attractive sceneries in the British Isles are situated in the tiny country of Wales. Among these are several stunning mountainous regions and lovely rugged coastlines which are to be explored either on foot or by car. Yet these locations are mostly tucked in small towns in Wales and are among the most interesting to be found anywhere in the UK. These towns are often surrounded by attractive terrains including stretches of rugged coastline or rolling hills. Welsh towns provide plenty of good reasons to want decide to live there having been shaped by local farming practices or an industrial past. In this video, we present to you the 15 best small towns to live in Wales.
14. Usk, Monmouthshire
Usk, a small town and community in Monmouthshire is just 16 kilometers northeast of Newport. The town on the River Usk is spanned by an arched stone bridge at the entrance of the town westward. As a small market town, it has a few industries, prominent among which is Japanware. This makes it an economically viable place to live. The town has built a record of success in Britain in Bloom competitions in recent years. It even won the Large Village award in 2005. It is known as the “Town of Flowers and has a bustling high street and thriving sports clubs.
13. Blaenavon, Torfaen
Blaenavon, a town in Torfaen, is no doubt one of the most beautiful small towns to find accommodation in Wales. The town exudes history everywhere you go. You won’t need a tour guide to tell you that it used to be a giant exporter of iron, coal, and steel in the world. Notable people from Blaenavon include the award-winning mystery writer Dorothy Simpson; film actor E. E. Clive; several famous rugby players such as Mark Taylor, Ken Jones, John Perkins, Chris Huish, and Terry Cobne and Olympic athletes. Some parts of this small location 33 square kilometers in size are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
12. Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
This small town located about 10 kilometers from the border with England Abergavenny in Monmouthshire has a lot of beautiful scenery, locally-made tantalizing food, and appealing ecotourism. Situated at the edge of Brecon Beacons National Park, it is also a market town. For its natural beauty, green rank, and architectural aesthetic, we agree to include it here. Imagine a town famous for its annual food festival! You’ve got enough to take care of not only your appetite no matter how large but also your cravings no matter how strong.

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 Best Places to Live in Wales
What are the best places to live in Wales? We have taken our time to access all, yes we mean it, all cities, towns, and villages in Wales for moments like this. Out of them all, we have come up with the 12 best places to live in Wales in this video. The places mentioned here have certain unique characteristics that stand them out among all the other places in the region. If you carefully consider the most credible rankings about Wales, you would find these places among the most loved towns in Wales. You will find most of them even on our own list of the best towns to live in Wales. We encourage you to see those videos to complement whatever you are going to see here.
12. Blaenavon, Torfaen
A good place to search for accommodation is Blaenavon, a town and community in Torfaen County. The home of award-winning mystery writer Dorothy Simpson, several famous rugby players, and Olympic athletes is high on a hillside on the Afon Lwyd source. It’s one of the Welsh best places to live. Thanks to the efforts being made by many thriving community groups who have served to improve the town. One of them is Future Blaenavon, whose efforts have led to the creation of a community garden down the town. In 2000, parts of Blaenavon were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The place occupying 33 square kilometers has several attractions, events and dance performances.
11. Brecon, Powys
We are sure those who know Wales too well would be disappointed if Brecon, just like Kidwelly, Abergavenny, Cardigan, Barmouth, and Tenby, is missing on this list. This town in and community in Carmarthenshire in southwest Wales alongside its peers has featured in many good rankings and its omission here can’t be explained. For instance, they have been listed among the best towns to live in Wales, the best small towns to live in Wales, the most loved towns in Wales, and even the best small towns to live in Britain. Whatever has given it such good reckonings must find a slot for it among the best places to live in Wales.
10. St Davids
St Davids is likely the only city found here. Also known as St Davids and the Cathedral Close or St David's, the community is the smallest geographical area granted city status in the UK by population and by urban area. The city, lying on the River Alun, is the final resting place of Saint David, Wales's patron saint. It was obviously named after him. The link to this patron is a powerful reason why things are going well for this one of the small cities.
9. Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Just like Brecon and other places mentioned earlier, Abergavenny, a market town and community in Monmouthshire, well deserves its slot here. What we can’t be sure of is whether you would want the town in this 9th position. Okay, you’re free to let us know if it deserves a higher ranking. In any case, we all can agree that the town approximately 10 kilometers from the border with England has beautiful scenery, locally delicious food, and appealing ecotourism.
8. Llandudno, Conwy
Llandudno is another seaside resort, town, and community. Located in Conwy County Borough, it’s on the Creuddyn peninsula protruding into the Irish Sea. This is a town of battlements, boats, and birds with an atmospheric seaside town having charm and rebellion in buckets and spades.

Abergavenny, Wales
I took a day trip to Abergavenny from Hereford. What a beautiful town!
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.

Abergavenny Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the Welsh county of Monmouthshire, and around 25 miles north, and slightly east, of Cardiff, is the town of Abergavenny, or Y Fenni in Welsh.
Geographically, Abergavenny is situated around the confluence of the River Usk and River Gavenny - a confluence of the former, and the origin of the town's name ('aber' means 'mouth of the river' in Welsh). It is around six miles away from the England-Wales border, and lies at the eastern gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park - one of Wales's main mountain ranges.
During the 1st and 2nd century AD, a Roman fort existed here, guarding the road along the valley of the River Usk. It was known as Gobannium - a name which is derived from the Brythonic 'Gobannia', meaning 'river of the blacksmiths', hinting at the settlement's role in iron smelting during the pre-Roman era.
Following the Norman Conquest of the 11th century, Abergavenny Castle was built. In 1175 it became the scene of a massacre. In retribution for the murder of his uncle, William de Braose invited local chieftains to a Christmas banquet and then had them slaughtered whilst they ate. In retaliation, Hywel ap Iorwerth, lord of Caerleon, had the castle burnt in 1182. This was carried out by relatives of Seisyll ap Dyfnwal, one of the victims of the fatal banquet.
From around 1190 the castle was rebuilt. During the early 15th century it was, once again, burnt. This was carried out by Welsh forces led by the legendary figure, Owain Glyndŵr during the Wars for Welsh Independence. The town was also sacked. During the English Civil War, the castle was slighted by Charles I to prevent its useful occupation. The ruins of the castle have been converted to a museum which can be reached via a very short walk from the centre of town.
The first reference to a market in Abergavenny dates from the mid 13th century. Industries in the town included Welsh flannel - a fine soft woollen cloth for which it became known, and periwigs, which were white wigs made of goat hair. A method of bleaching the hair is said to have been invented in the town. Periwigs were particularly popular in the 18th century among wealthy and professional men.
In 1854 the railway arrived in Abergavenny. It was built for the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway, which later became part of the Great Western Railway. In 1862 a second station, Abergavenny Junction, opened. This was built to move coal from industrial towns such as Merthyr Tydfil to the Midlands and north of England. Abergavenny Junction closed in 1971, leaving just the original station, which operates today on the Welsh Marches Line between Newport and Crewe.
Construction of Abergavenny Town Hall took place between 1869 and 1871. This was built in the Gothic Revival style complete with clock tower and patina roof, and is Grade II listed.
Today Abergavenny is a popular destination for visitors, both as a town in its own right, and as a base for hikers and mountaineers exploring the Brecon Beacons situated immediately to the west.

Abergavenny, Wales, UK - Driving Tour 4K
Abergavenny (/ˌæbərɡəˈvɛni/; Welsh: Y Fenni pronounced [ə ˈvɛnɪ], archaically Abergafenni meaning mouth of the River Gavenny) is a market town and community in Monmouthshire, Wales. Abergavenny is promoted as a Gateway to Wales; it is approximately 6 miles (10 km) from the border with England and is located where the A40 trunk road and the A465 Heads of the Valleys road meet.
Originally the site of a Roman fort, Gobannium, it became a medieval walled town within the Welsh Marches. The town contains the remains of a medieval stone castle built soon after the Norman conquest of Wales.
Abergavenny is situated at the confluence of the River Usk and a tributary stream, the Gavenny. It is almost entirely surrounded by mountains and hills: the Blorenge (559 m, 1,834 ft), the Sugar Loaf (596 m, 1,955 ft), Ysgyryd Fawr (Great Skirrid), Ysgyryd Fach (Little Skirrid), Deri, Rholben and Mynydd Llanwenarth, known locally as Llanwenarth Breast.

Brief Description
Linda Vista Gardens is a well-preserved and richly-planted urban public park with origins as a private garden. This is demonstrated in the intricate layout of the formal part of the garden, and in the exceptional quality and variety of the planting, which includes unusual specimen trees and shrubs.
History
The garden was the private garden of Linda Vista villa which was built in 1875. It changed ownership in 1901, and again in 1925 when it was acquired by the Whitehead family who also owned a steelworks at Ebbw Vale. In 1957 they sold the garden to the Abergavenny Corporation for use as a public park. After this, the District Council added further land to the west and south (Castle Meadows) which extended the garden.
This is a municipal site for general public use.
CASTLE MEADOWS:
In the centre of Abergavenny, easily accessible from the town centre. Some 20 hectares of riverside meadow, next to the River Usk, with bordering trees, small copses, streams and ponds. Beautiful views of the River Usk, the Blorenge and of Abergavenny Castle and town.

Crickhowell is a small town in southeastern Powys, Wales. It lies on the A40 between Abergavenny and Brecon. The name Crickhowell is taken from that of the nearby Iron Age hill fort of Crug Hywel above the town, the Welsh language name being anglicised by map-makers and local English-speaking people. The town lies on the River Usk, on the southern edge of the Black Mountains and in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Many public services in Crickhowell are provided by Powys County Council and to a lesser extent by Crickhowell Town Council. Planning matters fall to the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. There are two schools – primary and secondary – which act as a central point for a large catchment area. There is some light industry on the outskirts of Crickhowell at the Elvicta Industrial Estate. The town centre includes a variety of traditional businesses, many of which are family owned. Other facilities in Crickhowell include a library, two play areas, public toilets and the CRiC building, which houses a tourist information centre, an internet cafe, an art gallery and a local history archive. There are a number of pubs, cafes, restaurants and hotels, such as The Bear hotel and The Dragon.
There are also several churches in Crickhowell including St Edmund's Church which holds a service every Sunday, a baptist church, an evangelical church and a Catholic church. Crickhowell & Penmyarth Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1897 and played on a course at Glanusk Park. The club and course disappeared in the late 1960
Today, Crickhowell is a popular tourist destination. In 2005 a Tourist Information centre was built in the centre of town and during summer the town is notably busier. Most people visit Crickhowell to see the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons, and maybe enjoy some mountain-biking, camping, hillwalking, rock climbing, fly-fishing, hang-gliding, caravanning or simply tour the area by car staying at Bed-and-breakfasts. The Green Man Festival takes place annually in mid-August at nearby Glanusk Park.
Notable features in Crickhowell include the seventeenth-century stone bridge over the River Usk with its odd arches (twelve on one side, thirteen on the other) and its seat built into the walls, the 14th-century parish church of St Edmund, and the ruins of Crickhowell Castle on the green tump beside the A40 Brecon to Abergavenny road.

Usk
The standing stones in Swan Meadow were erected in 2009 as part of a local history society project to
highlight Abergavenny’s importance in the eistoddfod tradition in Wales
There’s a good example of a recently ‘laid’ hedge in the upper Gavenny meadow
Priory Church at St Mary's Priory
The Church, described as the Westminster Abbey of Wales, attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to view the fine collection of historic monuments, medieval carvings or simply to seek a quiet place for contemplation and prayer.
The Church faces outwards to the community and welcomes a wide range of schools and group activities.
The Angel Hotel
It is very satisfying to see the Angel Hotel in Cross Street gradually being restored to its former glory after many years of unhappy decline. The present owners are to be congratulated on their excellent progress in refurbishing this fine Georgian building. In the early part of the 18th Century it belonged to William Dinwoody (whose family perhaps first a came here as proprietors of this house) who, by his will dated October 14th 1736, left it to his son Robert. It was then occupied by Samuel Saunders and afterwards by his son, Charles Hanbury Saunders.

Abergavenny Market is a lively and bustling market in the centre of Abergavenny. Located right in the heart of town, Abergavenny Market truly is the life and soul of this historic town.
