Thread: Worst town in Wales

    Worst town in Wales

    We've had the best, where is the worst?

    Re: Worst town in Wales

    Newport for me.

    I know some people will rightly say Maesteg, Penrhys, Maerdy etc but at least these towns know they are shite heaps.

    Newport residents try their hardest to convince that the town (City) is now nice!

    I suppose the Celtic Manor is nice if that counts.

    Plenty of dumps down South but I think the North got their fair share as well.

    Neither Maerdy or Penrhys are towns and Newport is a City.

    Port Talbot, not sure I've ever stopped but anywhere that inspired the dystopian setting of blade runner has to be up there.

    Cwm. Nothing there but houses with a road to somewhere else cut through the middle of it.
    Every time I go there I try to imagine how many houses they demolished to build it? From the size of the 2 bits that are left it must have been half the town.

    This might help the discussion and even trigger worst city and villages threads. That said anything beating Rhyl and Port Talbot must have some unredearming features

    Cowbridge.
    Ok , i am a bit biased but it is a town that really wants to be in Sussex or Surrey and very much looks down on its big brother on the coast. Not to mention how much that new farm shop off the A48 charges for the stuff on sale.

    That list is wrong. It doesn't have Llandaff as a city and it has had a diocesan cathedral since Cardiff was a hamlet. (Or was it a cheroot? )

    Doesn't have Cwm as well for some reason. Ah well, best use your list!

    its bloody dreadful , the snobbery of many of the residents towards Bridgend, Llantwit, which I think is a great town and Barry is unbelievable

    If you go on one of the social media sites about the town you will find complaints about immigration , being surrounded by socialists etc , oh we don't want social housing built here , that's for Barry or Bridgend

    Its so blatant, its funny

    Some good people living there , loads of bluebirds fans but your average Cowbridge resident is a right wing , money obsessed , fox hunting supporting , tory voting type who as you say should be living in Surrey

    The town itself is crap , crap pubs , crap places to eat , gridlocked

    The town that time forgot
