10 Best Villages to Live in Wales
What are the best villages to live in Wales? Living as some people are doing, in any part of the United Kingdom has already insulated you from certain challenges in some terrible parts of the world. This is important to be borne in mind for anyone living in any of the villages in the country. For reasons bordering on peace and tranquility, some of our lovers love living in Wales. However, it’s puzzling to some that these people are not particularly focusing on cities like Cardiff. Rather, they love villages in Wales. Are there villages you too might love to consider as a home in Wales? We are affirmative in our answer, and we have proofs for this in this video about the 10 best villages to live in Wales.
10. St Fagans, Cardiff
We begin with St Fagans, an affluent village on the outskirts of the city of Cardiff known for St Fagans Castle. It’s a picturesque village where you can discover the depth of richness of Welsh history and culture, taking you on a trip back in time to the Wales of old. St Fagans is just a short jaunt from the hubbub of the capital. It’s just about a 20-minute drive down the A roads right from the heart of Cardiff. You’re certain to have a hint of Welsh heritage through the ages and enjoy a recreation of a 19th-century mining terrace.
9. Solva, Pembrokeshire
Next is Solva, a lovely fishing village in Pembrokeshire. Living in this pint-sized village, you can simply walk and wander on the coast north of St Bride’s Bay. As the tide washes in and out, the character of the village takes on different appearances. When the water is high, it’s felt around the quaysides and the pubs. And when it’s low, a muddy estuary is revealed filled with crawling crabs and fishing skiffs.
The village is nice for photos and is a good place for adventure as you take scenic walks around the village. The bracing sea treks are unrivaled as the path wiggles to the east and west. You can also find the hidden sands of Porthmynawyd Beach.
8. Beddgelert, Gwynedd
Beddgelert is the first of the villages in Gwynedd to be mentioned here. Located in the northwest county of Gwynedd at the point of convergence of the Colwan and Glaslyn rivers, Beddgelert’s idyllic setting gives you a taste of what living in a charming scene is all about. Your days and those of your visitors would be filled with the desire for selfies as you take a walk, hike, or engage in other outdoor activities on mountains and other stunning views as part of your daily activities. You can even get to see the central place in the famous folklore legend of Gelert the dog.
7. Portmeirion, Gwynedd
If you are ever grateful to the British architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the curious creator of this village, you would love Portmeirion as one of the nicest villages to live in Wales. This Gwynedd village of follies and odes was forged to highlight all sorts of architectural styles in the heart of the borough between 1925 and the 1970s. At the village’s central piazza, there are Italianate mansions mingling with gothic towers and European baroque façades. Not far from there are arboretums of palm trees and pines.

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
