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.

#wales
No effort was made with the correct pronunciation of these areas.
he said pridd right i guess
Why is there a photo of the Neath hotel in New South Wales Australia
Thank you! I saw the building and it looked like something you would find here. Thought maybe some Aussie architecture had made it’s way back across the pond.
South wales people went to that place
So glad they specified that it was Llangefni, Wales. Otherwise, I might have confused it with Llangefni, Outer Mongolia...
If anyone here isn't from Wales, this is an almost perfect example of how not to pronounce just about every place name mentioned in the video
Blaenau Ffestiniog gets my vote, got to be the most depressing place in Wales where joy goes to die.
I lived there for a year and a half 25 years ago *shudders* it'll suck all the positivity right out of you.
You obviously haven’t been to any of these places, Llantwit Major is one of the nicest places and safest places in Wales to live
I can vouch for that, I've lived there my whole life.
You've got verbal diarrhoea,llantwit the only crime is kids thrashing flower beds ,and a car stolen
Totally agree... I've just bought a house there (super expensive), and can't wait to move there.
YOUR PRONOUNCEMENT OF OUR PLACE NAMES IS REALLY TERRIBLE.
That's what I said. He should be ashamed of himself.
Tell me about it
I'm not at all surprised that Rhyl is at number 1. In fact I expected it to be. My Mum lives there, and although the suburbs are fine the town centre is a total shithole.
Why is Aberdare in 11th place? The reason behind the antisocial behaviour is that all of the people who do it are from Merthyr and they come over to Aberdare
No way
@@stevenevans4070 Yes
Where's Llandrindod wells? it really should have made the list!
i’m not having aberdare being in here, i’m from aberdare and it’s not as bad as people say it is
True, Aberdare is decent. This video is utter tripe.
Have they ever been to Tonypandy?
Cynon is not pronounced as “Sin-non.” It’s pronounced as “CUN-NON.”
How about north Wales, and I've always visited the place
Caerphilly for me has to be number one , high in teenage pregnancy, low in academic achievement, high crime rate. The houses are mostly owned by the council with only about 7% home owners
Sorry don't agree with this I was born in Merthyr Tydfil and live in Newport many places in the UK are probably worse than south Wales
Clearly never been to Torfaen, he can't even say it. 😆
I'm not surprised this is clearly done by someone who's not Welsh or from Wales given most of the place names are not pronounced near correctly,
Also Llantwit Major is a nice area it's ST Athen that's the next door village that has the bad reputation
The pronunciation on this video nearly made me spit my drink out multiple times 😂
Ebbw Vale - Eb boo Vale
Llangefni - Ll has a Th sound whereby you purse your lips and blow through, a single F is pronounced with a V sound - Llan Gev Née
Llantwit Major 😂 is just Llantwit Major not Mayeurrr 😂
Pontypridd - Ponty Preeth and FYI its in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Cynon is not pronounced Sin - on 😅 its "Kin Non"
If you're going to piss on people's communities who deeply care and look out for each other, at least make and effort to pronounce the name properly 🙃
Switched off as soon as I heard him mispronounce the place names
ummm hes not beet to maerdy down to porth them ,,,,,,,,tylorstown has been voted the most deprived town in all of wales and its getting worse
The author is full of it isn't he? He obviously has an axe to grind.?
I'd like to take an axe to your punctuation.
The ? at the end of your comment is absolutely appalling!
Wow pronounced most the names incorrectly
I'd also love to know how many of the places on this bullshit list he's actually been?
Ha and where he got his pronunciation from. Not impressed.
Yep, him trying to say Cynon absolutely creased me😂
How many of these towns in the south had their industry and livelihood destroyed by English Government and never put anything in its place. If he wants to criticize what he doesn't know about. Then he should stay out of Wales ! 🏴
@@chrisdavies3572 agreed, I was only a kid in the valleys during the 80s but I saw how it was, it destroyed families and around here never recovered, even now the high levels of poverty and lack of well paying work has had a huge impact, and only worse it's going to get, but it's home and I am proud to be Welsh🏴
🏴 Cymru Am Byth 🏴

What a load of nonsense .
Theres nothing wrong with Port Talbot.
It’s a ghetto all the sewer rats are in Rhyl, sad really most of them are not welsh , Liverpool Manchester send helpless drop outs there and jail birds are made welcome by Denbighshire county council of coarse most of exutives live in beautiful houses far from Rhyl it’s true look at y tube
Im from blaenau gwent brynmawr and fuck me it is not pleasant at all it's depressing you struggle to get by and everyones a dickhead here and everyone's on something people even carry weapons as well
Can't agree with Denbighshire which has lots of nice settlements. Need to add LLANELLI. Whitland, Pontarddulais/Gorseinon, Ruabon, Cwmbran, Flint and Swansea
newport is grim..lived here 50yrs.
Jeez1 Brutalising the pronounciation of names. If you're going to get local opinions couldn't you get an accurate local pronounciation? 😄
No Wonder I've Always preferred N/W Wales
I can't believe that Port Talbot is only the seventh worst place to live in Wales. In the early 2000's, I was a software consultant for a major database company. I was given an assignment for Port Talbot council. I had to stay in nearby Swansea as there were no acceptable hotels in Port Talbot according to my employer. I asked some of the council employees if there was a Starbucks in PT. They looked at me like I was from Mars. I know someone in London who is from Port Talbot and he is as thick as a post. He left PT as he was too intelligent to remain in the town.
I'm no PT apologist but I'm not quite sure how having access to an soulless & overpriced international coffee conglomerate figures in your estimation when considering how worthwhile a town might be
