I moved to port talbot from harrow (London) a few years back. I love it here. It’s full of areas of natural beauty, the people are friendly and welcoming, despite the steel works there is no pollution (compared to london at least). It could do with some tlc from the local council and some commercial investments but overall it’s a great place to live. I don’t agree with the no2 ranking.

Colwyn bay is a lovely place, the beach there is golden sand and the place has a new pier and amazing nature walks. The people are friendly and I have never seen any trouble. It has a good community and I prefer living here to the midlands where there is more crime and it’s much more dirtier in the air with hardly any countryside.

[@helenannshoukris-spear1043]

We love living in Aberdare. If you look into any area, you will find crime, but apart from the sad twats with their extra loud hatchback cars, screaming up the main road sometimes, I can honestly say that Aberdare is a great town to live, it's convenient, some decent shops and great cafes and restaurants. I also find it very friendly, which is something, coming from someone who doesn't generally like Wales anymore.

[@gianpierocroci9451]

I am also originally from Aberdare...great town in the '70's and '80's...worse now however...I'm Danilo's brother from Joes Fish Bar in Whitcombe St. by the way!!! Best Fish &chips in Aberdare

as I agree with most of these places I have to disagree with Fairbourne, my family has been going to Fairbourne for over 65 years and it is a lovely place the locals are lovely and so are the geographic elements like the beach and the lovely mountain walks. The miniature railway also gives this village a lovely feeling. because of recent events ( such as the flood warning ), the town really come together to fight the crises. it is a lovely place and I would really recommend it to anyone.

[@davidscott3292]

Yes, it's an interesting visit and scenic.

[@djmossssomjd8496]

3 Years ago I tried to get a place to live permanently in Fairbourne and sadly failed. Its a great location. Lots of fishing just over the sand dunes. I've heard all the BS about global warming causing the area to flood. But..facts are facts. Just down the road from Fairbourne is Harlech with its fine castle. When that castle was built, the base of it was just above SEA LEVEL! Now it's a hell of a way over the sea. The sea levels will NEVER rise enough to go back to the times the castle was built. Fairbourne is safe and I'd still move there in a heart beat.

Colwyn Bay was quite vibrant in the 70s but went downhill soon after. Some of the pictures of Colwyn Bay are actually of there, but some, like the dirty beach, are elsewhere. Rhyl is and always has been s**t

[@Electrichead1991]

What a load of crap this video is. Narrator claims to have gathered info about Aberdare, but failed to find out what proper (and easy) pronunciation of name of valley is. Every town has its bad elements, but the good in most these towns outweigh that. I lived in Aberdare for 12 years, and I can tell you it's a lovely town.

[@reggriffiths5769]

If you enjoy listening to someone who has never been to any of these towns (if even been to Wales), and doesn't know the first thing about the place/s, then you might like like this channel. When you add to it the fact that he has no idea how pronounce the names - for example he tells us about Sinon Taff - wherever that might be!! Then he tells us about a town hated because there is no "mountain biking"..... yes folks, the town councillors need to sort out heir priorities - after all, what is a town without mountain biking facilities!! If you believe the narrator, just about all Welsh towns are ridden with drug & alcohol problems, high crime rates. unsocable people and terrible conditions. I would kindly suggest that you avoid thiis Learning Canteen channel, for it knows nothing - and I'm not even Welsh!

[@AndrewBrueford]

Please pronounce our towns properly, we may dislike certain towns to live in but we make sure say their names correctly.

[@paulwillis8504]

The first picture is of Brockwier which is in England.....

[@ComeJesusChrist]

Pontypridd and Merthyr are not too bad at all. Both are quite liveable towns with good facilities. Some villages in-between and in the area are awful, though and are like going back decades in a deprived country after a civil war. You could have easily included Tonypandy on the list instead.

[@matc6221]

Misinformation and English bigotry. Sigh. The pictures showen were pretty nice on the whole. No good examples of unwashed Boyos high on drugs or truly deprived and rundown buildings. There are some pits in Wales just like in other areas of the UK, but the video showed pleasant towns and scenery, a contradiction to the narrative. Also, learn how to pronounce place names correctly.

[@morgidvmw0mdv]
