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.

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

[@nigelperring7484]

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

[@marymellor7214]

Again pronunciation is dreadful, he's only doing 12 towns ffs!

[@stevenkavanagh4347]

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!

[@MYKGARTON]

Narberth and Conwy would be in most people’s top ten for sure

[@camtinley]

Abergavenny is famous for having a song written about it.

[@jitendrashah3211]

PLEASE learn Welsh or at least get the correct way to say the names of towns.

[@jamesjessop7065]

You couldn't even pronounce gwynedd right

[@saturdayplayer2492]

Do your research.

[@abcdef64611]

Hello There, I must say very good video, but some of your pronunciations are not as i know lol. Cyril.

[@Wiiggz]

Carmarthen for sure

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Number 1 Barry 2 Barry 3 Barry 4 Barry 5 Barry and so on.

[@user-px1hv9ch6h]

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.

[@donwright3427]

Beheld 5th UK fire egg is heavily grievous

[@theoverseas7]

😊

[@arunthompil886]

Aberystwyth, Carmarthen, Lianelli, Haverfordwest. (West Wales) Which one is the best place?

[@tinaheil4186]

Aber definately

[@MsPinkwolf]

A matter of personal preference. All have good and bad qualities.

[@nicholaswood3063]

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.

[@jannetjellett7410]

Thou want someone who cann pronounce the places you are speaking about who ever is doing this needs to do this or get another English person who has lived in Wales for 40yrs to do the learning canteen for you

[@Sezfluffy]

I'm just back from a trip there, this mans pronunciation is terrible

[@frankjoseph4273]

Make sure your Sheepshaggers Anonymous card is current and in your posession. They understand

[@dafyddrhobert2414]

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

[@shanaliperera1027]

What about Swansea

[@vaughanrichards7438]

Not a small town.

[@stevenevans4070]

You forgot Merthyr Tydfil

[@cymro6537]

So has everyone else

[@PhilJonesIII]

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.

[@peterwatkins9850]

As everyone else said he can say the names correctly, and looks like he has plucked town names out of thin air.

[@VantaDraws]

6:04 That’s not even Barmouth

[@ka-ox9lx]

Dolgellau. The next picture also isn't Barmouth

[@paulcarolshamash2142]

Please learn to pronounce the Welsh names PROPERLY. Spoilt the narrative.

[@JohnPanto]

Instant turnoff with the mis-pronounciation.

[@lewiscollins1045]

Spot on.

[@graemetaylor1765]

Beautiful scenery!! Nasty people 😵

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

Since it became Taffistan, you mean Graeme?

[@arlaabrell8658]

@@JamesSmith-qs4hx I have NO idea what he must mean, I'm American but 1/2 Welsh and I have been to Wales many times, I honestly can not remember ONE unpleasant experience the people are lovely for the most part.

[@saturdayplayer2492]

Welsh people are like other people anywhere. Good, bad and indifferent.

[@mintywebb]

Yeah there's lots of English here. You probably met some of them.

[@johnrice3882]

Only nasty to the jolly old English and their colonial ways what what what. Cymru am byth!!!
