For example, in the Times’ list of the best places to live in the UK in 2024, the regional winner of Wales, namely, Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire features. Interestingly, it’s number one on this list of the 7 best places to live in Wales at the moment. The ranking takes no shine away from any of the other six places on this list as they all are quite cute and cosy. As you enjoy this video, check if you can agree with the ranking.
7. Vale of Glamorgan
The best place to begin this is the Vale of Glamorgan, the southernmost tip of Wales. This county borough is in the southeast of Wales where it borders Bridgend County Borough and Cardiff to the west and east respectively. To the north of this borough is Rhondda Cynon Taf while the Bristol Channel is to the south. If only for its economy that is based largely on agriculture and chemicals, the Vale of Glamorgan is one of the best of the seven best places to be in Wales, as per the listing in the Times Magazine.
This is a place that offers an enticing cocktail of convenience and relaxation with a dash of aspiration. You can either plump for the supercharged eastern seaside suburbia or the fertile, rolling fields to the west, you’ll find that the Vale is home to the best of Wales in all ramifications. Among the famous highlights of this geographical location is Penarth, famous for its Victorian merchants’ houses. Dinas Powys, which is the next supersized village, has two railway stations among other attractions like choice houses, affordable terraces and the rest. We have a lot more to say also about Glamorgan Heritage Coast and even Barry Island.
6. Presteigne, Powys
Next is Presteigne, a town and community in the Radnorshire area of Powys located on the south bank of the River Lugg. The former county town of Radnorshire has in common what many of the other towns close to the Wales-England border have in common. That’s why Presteigne assumed the motto, “Gateway to Wales.” This is where the town stars are aligned with the astronomical local spirit. Its Broad Street has some of the most ancient and characterful houses in Powys.
Presteigne is the place where the extraordinary appears to be ordinary. You’ll know you’re in a special town when you see a pharmacist doubling as a fire-eater. Here’s another small community with wonderful surprises. Presteigne was declared the official “dark skies” community of mainland England and Wales in 2024 after a six-year project involving an adjustment to existing lighting and installation of LED street lamps. As, it is a win-win situation for bats, birds and insects. This initiative also reduces energy bills and carbon footprint.
5. Narberth, Pembrokeshire
At Narberth, a town and community in Pembrokeshire, the high-class high street is the main attraction. The town was founded around a Welsh court which later became a Landsker Line Norman stronghold a delightful high street where retro-inspired clothing and gifts are being sold. While many other high streets across the country are struggling, those in Narberth are thriving.
