  • 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.

    It's funny that a channel called learning canteen can't be bothered to look up the correct pronunciation of these town names.

    The pronouncing of Welsh place names is SO bad that you should be ashamed. It would take very little effort to correct this!

    The producers of this video have not got a clue. I am English but have lived in Wales for over 30 years. The pronunciation is a total joke. I wonder whether they actually left their desks in rural England before making this. Not reliable content -in my view!

    I have only watched the section on Usk, then given up. At best, they have skimmed through Wikipedia. To claim japanware is a major industry in the town is laughable. It was in the 1840s, but had died out by the 1860 or so.

    Carmarthen for sure

    I watched this, and it's amazing how many are next to the sea, but don't think to buy another house down there before you move, otherwise you might get smashed for taxes. So, nice places to retire but not great places if you fancy a well paid job.

    Most of the places are mispronounced. There should be more research done on this.

      Car got stolen in Aberbargoed on the way I expect. Then got mugged in Rhumney probably. Check the hospital in Merthyr or Ystrad. Been four months so the ambulance must have arrived by now.
