Should You Visit Rhyl In 2024? The Answer May Surprise You!

  • Welcome to this Rhyl vlog, but is Rhyl worth visiting in 2024, especially as it's just been voted the second worst seaside town in the UK this year in the Daily Express? The answer may surprise you!!
    Rhyl is a seaside town in North Wales and in this Rhyl vlog we ask, Is Rhyl Worth Visiting In 2024 and is it really as bad as the Daily Express says it is? You might be surprised by what we find, especially that Rhyl has previously been given the title of Worst Seaside Town In North Wales.
    It was a sunny day in North Wales, so we decided to head up the North Wales coast to Rhyl. Although once labelled as, 'The Worst Seaside Town In North Wales' and now, '2nd Worst Seaside Town In The UK', is Rhyl really that bad? Or should we say, is Rhyl Rhyly that bad? Should you take the time to visit Rhyl now in 2024, or is it really as bad as people say?
    We have other Rhyl North Wales vlogs, including a look around Rhyl, the Rhyl Air show and Rhyl vs Towyn vlogs, but this is the first time we have visited Rhyl in about a year, so we thought we'd see what, if any changes Rhyl has to offer in 2024.
    We usually start off at the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre end of town, but in this Rhyl vlog, we start off on the other side, near the relatively new harbour and Pont Y Ddraig, or Dragon's Bridge, next to the Horton's Nose nature reserve and near the Rhyl Marine Lake.
    We took a look at this nature reserve for the first time and were very impressed with the area.
    After a trip on a steam train on Rhyl's Miniature Railway around the Rhyl Marine Lake, we continued to head up along the prom, taking in the sights and sounds and also checking out and reviewing the fish and chips from The Hungry Tum, who claim to be Rhyl's Best Fish and Chips. Check out the video to see if we agree.
    During our stroll around Rhyl, we also check out the arcade, the town, the fair, the arena and many more places, ending up with a cheeky shandy at the excellent Kite Surf Café Bar
    We hope you enjoy this, Is Rhyl Worth Visiting In 2024 vlog and we hope it shows you some things to see and do in Rhyl, North Wales. We also hope that the answer may surprise you.
    So if you're looking for things to do or see in North Wales, or looking for a Rhyl Vlog or a North Wales vlog, then this is the Rhyl North Wales vlog for you.
    We personally can't believe that Rhyl has previously been given the title of, 'Wales Worst Seaside Town' and recently been given the title of 'Second Worst Seaside Town In The UK', surly that can't be right. Rhyl has one of the best beaches in North Wales.
    As always, we finish off the vlog with a sum up and a well deserved pint.
    Thank you for watching this Rhyl North Wales vlog as we look to see if Rhyl is worth visiting in 2024.
    As we always say in Postcard and a Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

    ⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
    Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint TH-cam channel.
    Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

    What a great video you managed to showcase Rhyl excellently ( I didn't doubt you couldn't btw ) but it's got such a variety of things to enjoy and it brings back proper seaside holiday vibes. Stunning beach, I have to say those chips like you mentioned didn't look the best, but sometimes it's about sitting there like you did on the beach, enjoying the sun and views and being proper British and that makes it all worthwhile for a few chips to be overcooked hehe. If you get where i'm coming from. Love the arcades, again, it just reminds me of being a nipper and getting to enjoy the 2p machines, spend all my money on rock from the rock shops, but it's nice to see that Rhyl is still one of those locations were people enjoy their holidays still. Nice to see them developing too! There is hope! Thank you Wills and thank you Rach, you're both epic!

      We hope there's hope! Cheers for watching and leaving a lovely comment. The chips definitely tasted better than they looked! The fish not so. It has all the elements of a great British seaside town, it's just had its heart ripped out! Here's hoping that it finds its way back! Cheers 🍻

    That was a great video. We are returning to the area this coming weekend, and we cannot wait. We moved to Shropshire in Sept 2023, having bought a house project, and Prestatyn and Rhyl have now become our favourite go to seaside places.

    Fun time in Rhyl, Rachel and Wills. You found the "Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang car and "Percy" pulling the train! Gorgeous beach and it's great seeing the work being done. Enjoyed seeing the old murals and photo's. We enjoyed the tour.

Loved the train ride and certainly would have loved the Fish and Chips. I could mention all the bits- suffice to say, Rhyl deserves a visit. Great arial views. Have a great week. 🩷👌🙋‍♀🥝

    Now then. That looked like a grand day out. Good to see the sun shining. Love the beach. And the nature reserve is lovely. Little trains can sometimes be a challenge for me to fit into. Good to see the businesses doing well. Shame about the sea life centre though. A great tour and really loved the pace of the video. Great job as always. You two are just the best at what you do. Have a great week. Cheers 🍻

    Just got back from the UK. We transferred from a Train to a bus in Rhyl on our way to Conwy and drove by the train! We thought the town looked cute as we drove through. Conwy is a lovely town and we had a thunderstorm as we climbed the castle towers. Thank you for teaching us how to say Llandudno, the bus driver still teased us for getting it wrong. We also went to Bodnant Garden. North Wales is an amazing and beautiful part of the world.

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      We hope you had the best time. Yes sadly the trains are rubbish at the moment and there are lots of replacement buses! We're glad you enjoyed Conwy, it really is beautiful. Good call on trying your Welsh!! I bet you did us proud. We haven't been to Bodnant gardens (since we had the channel) it is gorgeous. Cheers for watching 🍻

    Its been so long since I have been to Rhyl but I always used to love it when I was little.
    The steam train looked like a cute ride around the lake.
    Nothing better than fish and chips on the beach.
    I love the arcades by the seaside haha I dread to think how much we have spent playing in them.
    What a shame about the air show. xx

    Rhyl has the essential feature of a good seaside town and that is a huge sandy beach, it's good to see restoration work going on in the town and that's always helpful for the future. The lack of public toilets by the beach is something that surprised me in Italy and it seems it's the case in the UK too. Australian suburban and town beaches all have free public toilets, some with showers so it's annoying to me that other countries don't have them. The going into a bar or cafe and having to buy a drink creates a vicious cycle of wanting to use a toilet, I suppose it does increase business!

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It has everything going for it, apart from the people in charge! It does have public toilets, but they cost and I'd spent all Wills money 🤣. Australia sounds amazing! Sometimes you find beaches with free toilets, most councils though charge! Cheers for watching 🍻

We we've been watching since they pulled down the old bistro and to see that in its place is a travesty!! Best advice with the drone is to just practise! The beach is a great place to have a go. The gulls don't seem bothered in Rhyl (they're airshow trained!!!). I used to be terrified at first, but Wills has got better and better the more we've flown it and now feels a lot more confident in it! Cheers for watching 🍻

    Hi both, growing up in Gwynedd Rhyl always had a bad name but we were here not that long ago and think the harbour is beautiful with that bridge and the beach is so big and lovely. Marine Lake with the train is great too and the other nature reserve near Sainsburies is so peaceful . Loved the drone footage, interesting that the sky flyer has gone now. Rhyl is definitely getting sooo much better with all of the work that's going on. You had a nice day to show it off as well 🙂👍~ Anna

      It's sad isn't it as it was quite the place in the 60's. We both have very happy memories as kids in Rhyl, even though it probably was declining then. Yes, the nature reserve and marine lake are lovely. We'd have loved to have see marine lake at the time on the century though! Cheers for watching and have a great week 🍻

    Hey guys,
    Our original comment seems to have disappeared into the you tube ether, so trying again 😬
    Yay! Rach and Wills back in Rhyl!🙌. Love your positive attitude when visiting, you hone in on the good bits, and Rhyl clearly has loads of those, that beach being the main winner for us ⛱️❤ (Pete loved the beach drone shots Wills👌). Think it takes a long time for a place like this to get its groove back, and certainly the loss of the air show will be a huge blow this year, what a shame. But, the nature reserve and the little train were fab, and it was good to see people out and about enjoying the seaside. Fish and chips on the beach, doesn't get any better than that 😋. 2p or not 2p, that is the question, well, not in Wills case, as Rach had spent all his pee money on the 2p falls!😂🙈. Fab video as always, roll on Rhyl 2025, let's hope they have finished the improvements, and things are onwards and upwards 👍

    Hey rach and wills 😊 nice to see the mini steam train going, it looks a beautiful stretch of Sandy beach to me. Wouldn’t it be something if the council saw your video and gave the Marine lake sign a splash of blue paint. Chips looked tasty to me 😁 shame to see the aquarium close I bet that brought in some tourist. And a real shame to here about the air show too.

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers Yasmin! Well we mentioned the paint last year and they didn't do it!! So we're thinking not. Let's hope after all this work, it resembles a nice seaside town! But looking at the market - which we've since learnt that no one wants to trade in!!! We doubt it! Yep, massive blow with the airshow and a shame for the aquarium. Fingers crossed when the work is done it will come back. Have a great week 🍻

    I'd also like to add ,every small convince store I went to I bought milk still in date however it was sour , I don't know where it's being stored before it gets to the sales fridge .but it needs looking into. I was glad to get on the train ,and be on my journey home.

    Stayed in Rhyl twice. Once in 1980 on rugby tour .mass brawl in huge seaside pub (we werent involved) .second time a few years ago on a Saturday night .did a pub crawl .every pub felt like it was gonna kick off. Walked through it on Wales Coastal Path a couple of years ago and didnt even wear a crash helmet. Horrible place for me .much nicer places further along the coast. Excellent video though. I was down on Llyn Peninsula walking coastal path last week and enjoying the evening sunshine in Harlech and Criccieth.

      Sounds about right! I've only been out at night there a few times. It's always been ok, but I've always been in a big group minding our own business! Yep, there are over places, but it's such a shame as Rhyl was the seaside resort to go to in the 60's. We both have great memories from the 80's as kids, but it was probably in decline then. You're definitely on a stunning piece of coastal path now. Cheers for watching 🍻

    Hi Rach and Will
    Happy Mother's Day.
    I finally am back home from filming trip again...hahah
    It was at high 80s...hot hot hot
    Great revisit to Rhyl. Oh no..who voted this town the second worst???
    It is very sad to learn the aquarium is now closed.
    May I ask what is the reason they had to close?
    lack of funds? or it was not profitable?
    I do know operating the large aquarium is costry.
    There is a huge aquarium in Atlanta GA, US....Large mount of funds from Coca Cola ..
    Little local shops always struggle to stay open nowadays.
    Maybe, local government brings some event to energize and bring some visitors...???
    I did see some vibrant visitors. The beach seems gorgeous though. haha low tide again? any marine wildlife? Something to entice PPL...?
    haha no good on Fish and Chips...that is a problem...
    Well done Rach and Will. As always, appreciate your flawless talk and honesty on the judgements.
    You two take care...

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hope you had a good time. The aquarium had to close as the animals were getting stressed by the building noise. They've all been rehomed and now it's closed. To be honest it needs with knocking down and replacing or a lot of work on it. The town did feel more vibrant and alive and lots of the shops were open (a far cry from a lot of British town centres these days!). The tidal range along that coast is massive! It goes out a long way! Cheers for watching 🍻

    You have vinegar on your chips too? Awesome. Why just last week I went to the footy and had a cup of chips with a big splash of vinegar. Delish. The only problem with vinegar chips (that reminds of the show Prisoner - called Cell Block H in your part of the world - and one of the main characters was called Vinegar Tits), where was I? Oh yeah, vinegar chips. While you're eating them you soon find all the micro paper cuts on your finger tips. Stings like buggery.|

    Ah Rhyll, officially the second worst seaside resort in the UK, utter BS obvs. I can name five far worse ones within a few miles from me that make anywhere look bad. So much to love about Rhyll, the snobs doing the surveys that make the news havent a clue. This is a family friendly resort that has entertained people for 150 years and will do so for another 150 years. Full of traditional charm that will only appreciate over time. Blackpool, Rhyll and Skegness? Well I haven’t visited Rhyll yet, we are looking forward to that, but Blackpool and Skegness are top tier. Maybe not great for the locals but the people that visit? These are all FIRST CLASS destinations.

      First class is probably a bit kind, but it certainly does have the makings of first class, sadly the council don't seem too proficient! We read this week that the new market (ikea flat pack) doesn't have anyone to run it!! So it's almost ready and is just going to stand there! We would love to travel back in time and see Rhyl in the early 1900's, it was quite the place to be. To be fair, there weren't that many empty units (less than wrexham for sure) and there were people on the high street. You could also say that it's the first sunny day since August, so that might have had something to do with it!! Cheers for watching 🍻
