10 Best place to visit in Ruthin United Kingdom

12 Best Places to Live in Wales

What are the best places to live in Wales? We have taken our time to access all, yes we mean it, all cities, towns, and villages in Wales for moments like this. Out of them all, we have come up with the 12 best places to live in Wales in this video. The places mentioned here have certain unique characteristics that stand them out among all the other places in the region. If you carefully consider the most credible rankings about Wales, you would find these places among the most loved towns in Wales. You will find most of them even on our own list of the best towns to live in Wales. We encourage you to see those videos to complement whatever you are going to see here.
12. Blaenavon, Torfaen
A good place to search for accommodation is Blaenavon, a town and community in Torfaen County. The home of award-winning mystery writer Dorothy Simpson, several famous rugby players, and Olympic athletes is high on a hillside on the Afon Lwyd source. It’s one of the Welsh best places to live. Thanks to the efforts being made by many thriving community groups who have served to improve the town. One of them is Future Blaenavon, whose efforts have led to the creation of a community garden down the town. In 2000, parts of Blaenavon were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The place occupying 33 square kilometers has several attractions, events and dance performances.
11. Brecon, Powys
We are sure those who know Wales too well would be disappointed if Brecon, just like Kidwelly, Abergavenny, Cardigan, Barmouth, and Tenby, is missing on this list. This town in and community in Carmarthenshire in southwest Wales alongside its peers has featured in many good rankings and its omission here can’t be explained. For instance, they have been listed among the best towns to live in Wales, the best small towns to live in Wales, the most loved towns in Wales, and even the best small towns to live in Britain. Whatever has given it such good reckonings must find a slot for it among the best places to live in Wales.
10. St Davids
St Davids is likely the only city found here. Also known as St Davids and the Cathedral Close or St David's, the community is the smallest geographical area granted city status in the UK by population and by urban area. The city, lying on the River Alun, is the final resting place of Saint David, Wales's patron saint. It was obviously named after him. The link to this patron is a powerful reason why things are going well for this one of the small cities.
9. Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Just like Brecon and other places mentioned earlier, Abergavenny, a market town and community in Monmouthshire, well deserves its slot here. What we can’t be sure of is whether you would want the town in this 9th position. Okay, you’re free to let us know if it deserves a higher ranking. In any case, we all can agree that the town approximately 10 kilometers from the border with England has beautiful scenery, locally delicious food, and appealing ecotourism.
8. Llandudno, Conwy
Llandudno is another seaside resort, town, and community. Located in Conwy County Borough, it’s on the Creuddyn peninsula protruding into the Irish Sea. This is a town of battlements, boats, and birds with an atmospheric seaside town having charm and rebellion in buckets and spades.

Places to see in ( Ruthin - UK )

Places to see in ( Ruthin - UK )

Ruthin is the county town of Denbighshire in north Wales. Located around a hill in the southern part of the Vale of Clwyd – the older part of the town, the castle and Saint Peter's Square are located on top of the hill, while many newer parts of the town are on the floodplain of the River Clwyd. Ruthin also has villages on the outskirts of the town such as Pwllglas and Rhewl.

The name 'Ruthin' comes from the Welsh words rhudd (red) and din (fort), and refers to the colour of the new red sandstone which forms the geologic basis of the area, and from which the castle was constructed in 1277–84. The original name of Ruthin was 'Castell Coch yng Ngwern-fôr' (red castle in the sea-swamps). The town developed around the castle and the nearby mill. Maen Huail is a registered ancient monument attributed to the brother of Gildas and King Arthur and is located outside Barclays Bank (formerly Exmewe House), on St Peter's Square.

Ruthin has a regular daytime bus service on Mondays to Saturdays, with the last service on most routes leaving between 5.30 and 7.30 pm. The Ruthin railway line and station were closed in the 1960s. Prior to the closure, Ruthin was connected by rail to Denbigh and Rhyl to the north, and Corwen in the south.

Ruthin Gaol ceased to be a prison in 1916 when the prisoners and guards were transferred to Shrewsbury. Ruthin Craft Centre is revenue funded by the Arts Council of Wales and is part of Denbighshire County Council. Nantclwyd y Dre (previously known as Tŷ Nantclwyd), in Castle Street, was built about 1435 by a local merchant Gronw ap Madoc. The building was sold to the county council in 1982, restored from 2004, and opened to the public in 2007.

This is Ruthin's main park area, which includes a children's play area, a lake, walks and picnic area. A skate park was built in 2007 and a zip wire and trim trail added later. The River Clwyd runs through the park. St Peter's Church is the parish church of Ruthin. It is in the diocese of St Asaph.

The Myddleton Arms is also known as the Seven Eyes. It is said to have been built in the 14th century. The Dutch style design, long, steeped roof is attributed to Sir Richard Clough, an Elizabethan merchant. Now flats, the Royal Oak is one of the finest buildings in Ruthin, having three cruck frames, it is a Grade II* listed building.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint YouTube 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

Places to see in ( Denbigh - UK )

Denbigh is a market town and community in Denbighshire, Wales, of which it was formerly the county town. Denbigh lies 8 miles to the north west of Ruthin and to the south of St Asaph. The town grew around the glove-making industry.

The first borough charter was granted to Denbigh in 1290, when the town was still contained within the old town walls. It was the centre of the Marcher Lordship of Denbigh. The town was involved in the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294-95; the castle was captured in the autumn, and on 11 November 1294 a relieving force was defeated by the Welsh rebels. The town was recaptured by Edward I in December. Denbigh was also burnt in 1400 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr.

Notable buildings in Denbigh include Denbigh Castle, the town walls begun in 1282 including the Burgess Gate and Leicester's Church. This is an unfinished church begun in 1579 by Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who was also Baron of Denbigh. It was planned as a cathedral with the title of city to be transferred from neighbouring St. Asaph. The project ran out of money and the grounds now lie derelict.

Denbigh was once served by a railway station on the former London and North Western Railway, later part of the LMS. The Vale of Clwyd line leading north to St. Asaph and Rhyl closed in 1955, leaving Denbigh on a lengthy branch running from Chester via Mold and Denbigh to Ruthin, which closed in 1962. A southern continuation beyond Ruthin linking up with the Great Western Railway at Corwen had closed in 1952. The platform of Denbigh station can still be seen beside the road leading to the Home Bargains store.

Attractions in the town include a library and museum. Denbigh Boxing Club is located on Middle Lane. Denbigh Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Wales having been established in 1844. The club plays at the Ystrad Road ground and plays in the North Wales Cricket League.

Places to see in ( Corwen - UK )

Places to see in ( Corwen - UK )

Corwen is a Town, community and electoral ward in the county of Denbighshire in Wales; it was previously part of the county of Merioneth. Corwen stands on the banks of the River Dee beneath the Berwyn mountains. . The town is situated 10 miles (16 km) west of Llangollen and 13 miles (21 km) south of Ruthin.

Corwen is best known for its connections with Owain Glyndŵr, who proclaimed himself Prince of Wales on 16 September 1400, from his nearby manor of Glyndyfrdwy, which began his fourteen-year rebellion against English rule. A life-size bronze statue of the prince mounted on his battle horse was installed in The Square in 2007. It commemorates the day he was proclaimed the last true Prince of Wales in 1400. The town grew as a centre for cattle drovers. Attractions in Corwen include the motte of a Norman castle, the thirteenth century Church of St Mael and St Sulien and the Capel Rûg built in 1637 by William Salesbury. Corwen Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1909. The club closed at the onset of WW2

Located in the hills of north Wales, the main economy of Corwen is based in and around farming. The town's main employer is local trailer manufacturer Ifor Williams Trailers, started by a farmer looking to transport sheep to the local market.

In the 1860s Corwen was linked to the national rail network in 1864 by a line from Ruthin along the Vale of Clwyd and in 1865 with a Great Western Railway branch line along the Dee valley from Ruabon. The station was a vital development in the town's importance as the centre of the local Agriculture industry. Unfortunately neither survived the Beeching Axe in the 1960s. The town is now linked to the Llangollen Railway, with a temporary station, Corwen East (Welsh: Dwyrain Corwen), which opened on 22 October 2014. The permanent way had been extended into Corwen in late spring 2014, but work is still required to construct a new permanent Corwen railway station alongside the town's main car-park.

Bus services in Corwen were primarily provided by GHA Coaches with routes available to Wrexham via Llangollen on services 5 and T3, Barmouth via Bala and Dolgellau on service T3 (now operated by Lloyds Coaches), and to Ruthin on service X5 (now operated by Arriva Buses Wales), with through services continuing to Denbigh. Llew Jones operate a twice daily, weekday service to Llanrwst with one journey extended to/from Bala.

Corwen is the last sizeable town on the A5 road from London to Holyhead until Betws-y-Coed is reached. Because of this it still contains a number of hotels which were used in the past as coaching inns for the Mail coach and stagecoaches. Although the A5 is no longer the most important road to Holyhead, having been superseded by the coastal route of the A55, there is still significant traffic travelling through the town centre’s narrow main street.

Corwen hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1919. The Pavilion in the town has played an important part in Welsh culture throughout the 20th century. It has hosted several concerts and eisteddfodau. It was also the venue for the first concerts performed by Edward H. Dafis, the first Welsh-language rock band to receive significant press notice, in August 1973.

( Corwen - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Corwen . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Corwen - UK
