12 Most Loved Towns in Wales
What are the most loved towns to live in Wales? You need to appreciate the features of the best towns in Wales to understand why Welsh love their towns and cities. And we love them too! You can gain some insight into what we are saying by considering the report by Garrington, a property finder company, on the ranking of the villages, towns, and cities in the United Kingdom based on the four categories of the physical environment, quality of living, architecture or heritage and going green. The nominated places were assessed by expert judges on the basis of factors such as schools, transport, broadband speed, and health of the high street, from all that, we present these 12 most loved towns in Wales for your consideration.
12. Porthmadog, Gwynedd
If the coastal town of Porthmadog could rank third best in Wales and 42nd in the UK as a whole, it should be loved by not only the residents but also the visitors. What brought this town to our list is its high ranks for both natural and architectural beauty. Yet, it’s not such a green town for it doesn’t rank so good in that regard. Nevertheless, you’re likely to love a beautiful town where the average family home is not up to 350,000 pounds.
11. Narberth, Pembrokeshire
The town of Narberth in Pembrokeshire in west Wales was once known as home to Pwll, Prince of Dyfed, in the Mabinogion. The excitement of its nomination in the Google Street View Awards as the home of Britain’s best shopping street is fetching it much love. Other things making it a lovable town are the Narberth Food Festival and The Grove. This is a town where you can stroll in the Oakwood Theme Park.
10. Machynlleth, Powys
Machynlleth, a market town in Powys, is surrounded by rolling green fields that make it an awesome town in Wales. It’s surprisingly a cosmopolitan center. For education, it’s loved as the Centre for Alternative Technology, an eco-hub in Europe where everyone from school kids to engineers learns about the need to protect the planet. Foodies will fall in love with Ynyshir, a Michelin-starred restaurant whose reputation goes far and wide as the 12th best restaurant in the whole of the UK by the Good Food Guide.
9. Cardigan, Ceredigion
We can’t do without this pleasant town in Ceredigion. We too love the town not because it is homonymic to our lovely winter-resistant garb, no, not for its name, but because of its features. And we possibly can’t tell you all that here. But we shall try. Cardigan ranks 5th in Wales and 47th across the UK. The most important feature of this attractive town is the average home cost. With less than, 325,000 pounds, you can own a home. But then, it also ranks well for architectural beauty and quality of life. It’s not doing badly on green rank with a score of 247 out of 1372.
8. Barmouth, Gwynedd
Barmouth, a town in Gwynedd, is the 8th most loved town in Wales. If you saw our other videos about towns to live in Wales, you will appreciate why Barmouth will always be in good companies like this. It is lovable. Of course, we agree to place it in the 4th position on the list of the best towns to live in Wales and 46th in the whole of the UK. It’s less than the best rank in green rank mars the great score of 60 out of 1372 in natural beauty and equally that score in architec

Places to see in ( Chepstow - UK )
Places to see in ( Chepstow - UK )
Chepstow is a town in Monmouthshire, Wales, adjoining the border with Gloucestershire, England. Chepstow is located on the River Wye, about 2 miles above its confluence with the River Severn, and adjoining the western end of the Severn Bridge. Chepstow is 16 miles (26 km) east of Newport, 18 miles (29 km) north-west of Bristol and 110 miles (180 km) west of London.
Chepstow Castle, situated on a clifftop above the Wye and its bridge, is often cited as the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain. The castle was established by William FitzOsbern immediately after the Norman conquest, and was extended in later centuries before becoming ruined after the Civil War. A Benedictine priory was also established within the walled town, which was the centre of the Marcher lordship of Striguil.
The port of Chepstow became noted in the Middle Ages for its imports of wine, and also became a major centre for the export of timber and bark, from nearby woodland in the Wye valley and Forest of Dean. In the late eighteenth century the town was a focus of early tourism as part of the Wye Tour, and the tourist industry remains important. Other important industries included shipbuilding – one of the First World War National Shipyards was established in the town – and heavy engineering, including the prefabrication of bridges and, now, wind turbine towers. Chepstow is also well known for its racecourse, which has hosted the Welsh National each year since 1949.
Chepstow is served by the M48 motorway, and its accessibility to the cities of Bristol, Newport and Cardiff means it has a large number of commuters. Chepstow is administered as part of Monmouthshire County Council, and is within the Monmouth parliamentary constituency and Wales Assembly constituency. Chepstow is on the western bank of the Wye, while adjoining villages on the eastern bank of the river, Tutshill and Sedbury, are located in England.
Chepstow is located on the west bank of the River Wye, some 3 miles (4.8 km) north of its confluence with the Severn estuary. To the north of the town, the Wye passes through a limestone gorge, and there are limestone cliffs at Chepstow both north and south of the town centre and on the opposite (east) side of the river. The town is overlooked by the inland cliffs at Wyndcliff near St Arvans, about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town, and, from parts of the town, the Severn estuary and its bridges can be seen. The historic centre of Chepstow occupies part of a bend in the River Wye, and slopes up from the river to the town centre and beyond.
The River Wye at Chepstow has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world. The river was established as a boundary between England and Wales by Athelstan in 928. However, after the Norman conquest, areas east of the Wye, within the former Saxon royal manor of Tidenham and including Beachley, Tutshill, Sedbury and Tidenham Chase, were included within the lordship of Striguil or Chepstow. In 1536, the river was confirmed as the boundary between Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. Since the early 19th century, housing development has continued on the east bank of the river opposite Chepstow
Chepstow Castle overlooks the River Wye, a short distance downhill from the town centre. Much of Chepstow's late-13th-century Port Wall remains intact, although the stretch south of the railway line was demolished when the National Shipyard was constructed in 1916. Chepstow Priory was established in 1067, at the same time as the castle. Its Norman west doorway remains intact. The Old Wye Bridge below the castle was built in 1816, on the site of earlier wooden bridges.

10 things to do in the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean. Get lost exploring the unspoiled wilderness 🌲💚
Places to see in ( Coleford - UK )
Places to see in ( Coleford - UK )
Coleford is a small market town in the west of the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, two miles east of the Welsh border and close to the Wye Valley. It is the administrative centre of the Forest of Dean district.
Coleford was originally a tithing in the north-east corner of Newland parish. The settlement grew up (as its name suggests) at a ford through which charcoal and iron ore were probably carried. By the mid 14th century hamlets called Coleford and Whitecliff had grown up along the road in the valley of Thurstan's brook. Coleford had eight or more houses in 1349 and was described as a street in 1364. It had a chapel by 1489. In 1642 the commander of a parliamentary garrison in Coleford started a market in the town because the nearest chartered market, in Monmouth, was under royalist control.
Coleford saw some action during the English Civil War. On 20 February 1643, Lord Herbert, the Earl of Worcester's eldest son, and the King's Lieutenant-General of South Wales, marched through Coleford heading for Gloucester, at the head of an army of 500 horse and 1500 foot. At Coleford their progress was impeded by a troop of Parliamentarians under Colonel Berrowe, aided by a disorderly group of country people. A skirmish ensued, during which the market-house was burnt, and Major-General Lawday, who commanded the foot, with two other officers, were shot dead from a window.
A tramroad opened in 1812 to link mines in the Forest with the River Wye at Redbrook and Monmouth and ran through Coleford. The Monmouth tramroad continued in use until its track east of Coleford was lifted in the late 1870s. The first railway to reach Coleford, a branch line from Parkend opened by the Severn and Wye Railway Company in 1875, ran through Milkwall to a station on the south-east side of the town. A second railway from Monmouth, the Coleford Railway, using parts of the old tramroad route, was completed in 1883. It included a short tunnel at Whitecliff and it crossed the Newland road to run to a station next to that of the Severn & Wye Co
Coleford was more able to adapt to the mine closures of the 1950s than its neighbour Cinderford. Today, due to its prime location in the heart of the Forest, it is popular with walkers and cyclists, and the local council has been striving to encourage further tourist interest. There is a large factory here, originally called Carters, then Beechams, then GlaxoSmithKline, and it is now owned by the Japanese firm Suntory. It is the sole production facility for Ribena and Lucozade. One old building that has survived is the former goods shed for the defunct railway line to Monmouth; it is now the Coleford GWR Museum.

Next up are the Fairy Pools, located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The crystal-clear blue waters of these pools are surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and are perfect for a refreshing dip.
Moving on to Northern Ireland, we have The Dark Hedges, an enchanting avenue of beech trees that have grown into each other over the years, creating a natural archway that looks straight out of a fairytale.
Puzzlewood, in the Forest of Dean, is another hidden gem. This ancient woodland has a mystical feel to it, with winding pathways and moss-covered rocks that make you feel like you're in another world.

Cotswold Way - Day 6 of 8 Dursley to Hawkesbury England's most scenic & interesting multi-day hike
Cotswold Way Day 6 Dursley to Hawkesbury Upton
Due to the inclement weather arriving later in the day, and breakfast not being included in the price, we decided to make an early start. We had visited Sainsbury's the night before, so had breakfast in our rooms before departing at 7.45am. We had checked with the landlord the night before and he explained how to leave via the fire escape, we did look very suspicious though!! The path goes through the town turning right past The Old Spot Inn, up a steep road, through the wood, before emerging onto the Dursley golf course at 8.15am, then we turned right down a path. There is an alternative route straight across the golf course which would save a couple of miles, but we chose the more scenic route round Stinchcombe Hill. Continuing we came to a shelter with views to both Severn Crossings, the Malverns, Brecon Beacons and beyond, we reached another topograph and a stone bench at the top of Stinchcombe Hill 219m.
Continuing through woods, and across a large field, heading towards a tower on the hill. We arrived in the small village of North Nibley at 10.15am/5 miles, and headed past the open-air church service to the very welcoming North Nibley Café/Village Shop. We stopped for coffee and cake and bought some lovely cards. Continuing uphill once more, through the woods to the Tynedale Tower. This was built in 1866 and is 33m high, built to commemorate William Tynedale, a local resident who translated the Bible from Latin into English. He was later accused of heresy and burned at the stake in France in 1536. It is sometimes open to the public to climb up, sadly though not on this occasion. We continued along the scarp edge, passing through Brackenbury iron age fort. On the way down to Wotton, we passed a copse of trees which were planted in 1815 to commemorate the victory at Waterloo, and have been renewed twice, once in 1887 to commemorate the jubilee of Queen Victoria, then again in 1952.
We entered the village of Wotton-under-Edge (the farm in the wood) and bought some lunch. There are plenty of shops, pubs and places to stay and plenty of very interesting historic buildings and information boards. We were shown round the almshouses which were built in 1642, by some friendly locals. We continued, the path passing through the cemetery and we could see black clouds rolling in once more. We put on our waterproofs, as the wind blew and rain poured down. Fortunately, we found a thick area of forest to shelter in whilst we ate lunch (2pm). Continuing, the path was just a stream down through the woods, but at least our feet in walking boots were dry. It eventually stopped raining, the path crossing pleasantly undulating countryside. We passed another tower 36m high, this one built in 1846 to remember General Lord Robert Somerset who fought in the battle of Waterloo, before we turned left along the main road to Hawkesbury.
We were very happy to arrive at the Fox Inn, very wet. Dinner in the pub restaurant was delicious, with large portions provided, I had the carvery. Heavy rain was forecast to last all night, and for the next day, making the paths even muddier!

In the morning we visited Painswick and Duntisbourne.
Painswick is a town and civil parish in the Stroud District in Gloucestershire, England. Originally the town grew from the wool trade, but it is now best known for its parish church's yew trees and the local Rococo Garden. The village is mainly constructed of locally quarried Cotswold stone. Many of the buildings feature south-facing attic rooms once used as weavers' workshops. Painswick stands on a hill in the Stroud district, overlooking one of the Five Valleys, between Stroud and Gloucester. It has narrow streets and traditional architecture.

HIKE the Cotswold Way and Wild Camp - Part Three (Dursley to Birdlip via King's Stanley & Painswick)
A through hike of the Cotswold Way, 102 miles within five days with four nights of wild camping. This video is day three of a series, which follows the Cotswold Way from South to North starting in Bath and finishing in Chipping Campden.
Having spent the night wild camping on the outskirts of Dursley near the Uleybury Hill Fort, we arise early in the hope of finding coffee en-route. Moving along the Cam Long Down we eventually ascend the Coaley Peak which is maintain by the National Trust. From here we scale the heights of Frocester Hill at 778 feet. Here we are able to see across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
We descend Frocester Hill so that we can enter King's Stanley as we are hopeful to obtain an early morning coffee. Here we find the King's Stanley Sports Club. We enjoy the coffee and the excellent home made cakes.
Onwards and we cross the Stroud Canal which was opened in 1779. From here we are able to scale Haresfield Beacon where we can study the relief map. Next on our journey is the well house but we are unable to establish any history related to the building. Enventually, we enter the town of Penswick and admire the church and many of the old buildings.
Next we come across Cooper's Hill. This hill is famous for hosting the cheese rolling contest, This is where participants chase a double Gloucester cheese down the 45 degree angle hill with a 200 yards drop. The winner is first past the finish line, which is at the bottom, the winner keeps a cheese!
We enter Birdlip and visit the St George Hotel for refreshments before retiring for a well earned rest in our wild camping spot in the woods.
This completes Part Three. For this walk I am using 'Walking the Cotswold Way' by Cicerone as my guide book. My reason for using this guide is that it provides a south to north route in addition to the more popular North to south route. Also, within the guide they do provide a 1:25,000 route map. However, I preferred to use the Cotswold Way A-Z for walkers. Although this is the same scale it is contained on larger pages which I found better suited to planning. It was particular useful for spotting wild camping spots.In addition, I used the app Cotswold by GB Maps JOMO Solutions Ltd. The app can be used off line without connection which is particularly helpful when hiking as it helps to save phone battery.

We begin the video at one of the highest points of The Cotswolds, Broadway tower, you can see for miles over the rolling hills of The Cotswolds and much of this part of England from here, it's also located next to the town of Broadway itself (often known as the jewel of the Cotswolds).
We then head to the hidden gem of Snowshill Manor, many people may not be aware that this exists but it is certainly one to visit, home to an eccentric collector, inside this house you can find artefacts such as samurai armour, hundreds of old bicycles, musical instruments and more!
After this we head to Lacock Abbey, technically just to the south of the Cotswolds but too good not to include, this was the location in which many of the scenes for Harry Potter were filmed, so you will likely recognise them as you stroll around. It's also the location that the first ever photographic negative image was taken, a truly historical and unique place!
We also visit locations such as Tysoe Windmill, Batsford Arboretum, and Upton House, some beautiful hidden gems for a perfect day out. as well as the iconic Castle Combe, possible THE image that you see when you think of the Cotswolds.

Chepstow is also well known for its racecourse, which has hosted the Welsh National each year since 1949.
Chepstow is served by the M48 motorway, and its accessibility to the cities of Bristol, Newport and Cardiff means it has a large number of commuters. Chepstow is administered as part of Monmouthshire County Council, and is within the Monmouth parliamentary constituency and Wales Assembly constituency. Chepstow is on the western bank of the Wye, while adjoining villages on the eastern bank of the river, Tutshill and Sedbury, are located in England.
Chepstow is located on the west bank of the River Wye, some 3 miles (4.8 km) north of its confluence with the Severn estuary. To the north of the town, the Wye passes through a limestone gorge, and there are limestone cliffs at Chepstow both north and south of the town centre and on the opposite (east) side of the river. The town is overlooked by the inland cliffs at Wyndcliff near St Arvans, about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town, and, from parts of the town, the Severn estuary and its bridges can be seen. The historic centre of Chepstow occupies part of a bend in the River Wye, and slopes up from the river to the town centre and beyond.
The River Wye at Chepstow has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world. The river was established as a boundary between England and Wales by Athelstan in 928. However, after the Norman conquest, areas east of the Wye, within the former Saxon royal manor of Tidenham and including Beachley, Tutshill, Sedbury and Tidenham Chase, were included within the lordship of Striguil or Chepstow. In 1536, the river was confirmed as the boundary between Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. Since the early 19th century, housing development has continued on the east bank of the river opposite Chepstow
Chepstow Castle overlooks the River Wye, a short distance downhill from the town centre. Much of Chepstow's late-13th-century Port Wall remains intact, although the stretch south of the railway line was demolished when the National Shipyard was constructed in 1916. Chepstow Priory was established in 1067, at the same time as the castle. Its Norman west doorway remains intact. The Old Wye Bridge below the castle was built in 1816, on the site of earlier wooden bridges.
