It's a shame Welsh Nationalists are so one eyed they can't appreciate a town like that. Probably would have the lovely shopfronts boarded up with pictures of leeks and dragons on them. | |

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 09:45 - Sep 28 with 4766 views | LeonWasGod | It’s lovely. If Swansea can make the shortlist, I feel sorry for people who live elsewhere. That list is bollox. Carmarthen is far nicer than Swansea, and only just up the road. [Post edited 28 Sep 2019 9:47]

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 18:57 - Sep 28 with 4604 views | ladyjack | Its Welsh, Mabinogion and all that, its right on the Landsker line now, the cafes sell Welsh produce this and Welsh produce that and the galleries are Welsh art this and Welsh art that. Joe Allen is fluent and he is from there. Where do you think most Welsh nationalists come from, lots tend to be Towy valley and the Llyn peninsula types, it is often the unionists that come from the ghettos. | | | |

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 20:12 - Sep 28 with 4546 views | dickythorpe | There are problems here, Swansea is a city, Narberth has a closed down pub in its High Street and with all respect to Treorchy how many people who live in Wales but over and hour or more away would seriously think about visiting? Good luck to all though! | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 20:41 - Sep 28 with 4527 views | taffpunk | I put Dub War on in Ystrad Rhondda Rugby Club in the early 90's, only about 40 there, but what a great live band they were. I'm so pleased to see Benji has gone on to make a career out of music, he fully deserves it. As for the High Street awards, Treorchy is quite nice, great for a Pub crawl, but I'd be amazed if there's not nicer similar High Streets in the UK. [Post edited 28 Sep 2019 20:48]

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 20:42 - Sep 28 with 4527 views | Professor | Treorchy remarkably has a thriving high street with many locally-owned shops and cafes. It does not have a big supermarket ( Lidl and co op) not a bypass like the other Rhondda Fawr towns. Hardly a tourist attraction I agree, but serves the village/town well. Cardiff is just far enough away I guess. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 20:51 - Sep 28 with 4508 views | taffpunk | Correct, too many Cafes though, one of which will be closing very soon. It is still a very nice town, and if I had enough cash, I'd move the Record Shop there. | |

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 21:13 - Sep 28 with 4485 views | Uxbridge | I spend a lot of time in Narberth. It's bang average a town centre, if that. I guess it depends what you define as High St. Tenby is a far better place. | |
| |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 21:41 - Sep 28 with 4459 views | londonlisa2001 | I always think Narbeth is a lovely high street. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 21:42 - Sep 28 with 4459 views | Taliesin | Tenby would be ok if it wasn't for the people that visit it. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 22:13 - Sep 28 with 4438 views | Uxbridge | There's a lovely deli there. We get a lot of stuff from there when down there. I'd struggle to pick anything else out that wasn't in every other town or village to be honest. | |
| |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 22:15 - Sep 28 with 4431 views | Uxbridge | A commonly held view down there Must admit I prefer Saundersfoot but Tenby has a lovely vibe about the place particularly off-season. | |
| |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 22:37 - Sep 28 with 4412 views | dickythorpe | There's so much more to Pembs than just Tenby | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 22:57 - Sep 28 with 4396 views | Uxbridge | Isn't there just. Bosherston, Stackpole, Barafundle, Llys y fran, Cenarth, so many stunning places. Love it down there. | |
| |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 19:50 - Sep 29 with 4218 views | taffpunk | I can't comment on the actual place, never been there. I did go and watch my local Rugby team-Ystrad Rhondda-against Narbeth yesterday. A dozen of their supporters were in my local before the game, lovely people...very posh mind... | |

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 20:46 - Sep 29 with 4183 views | majorraglan | Narbeth is a decent High Street, but I wouldn’t go overboard about the place. No big chains, a few small independent shops, a couple of cafe’s and pubs and that’s about it. There’s a small industrial estate on the edge of town where Tan Y Castell have a small factory shop which sells miss shapes and freezer packs if you like your Welsh cakes and bara brith. Llandeiilo is another small town with a decent High Street. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 21:10 - Sep 29 with 4167 views | dickythorpe | Now Llandeilo is posh. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 21:29 - Sep 29 with 4148 views | Fireboy2 | Been a while since ive seen swanseas high st but after driving past it yesterday i think its definitely gone up in the world. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 22:48 - Sep 29 with 4111 views | exhmrc1 | its certainly better than it was but I wouldnt say it is the best in Wales. It will get better after the student buildings are completed. | | | |
High Street maybe best in Wales! on 01:18 - Sep 30 with 4065 views | NotLoyal | Benji is a top lad, very nice guy. Their set up off and on stage is very professional. Was hoping to meet up in abertillery ( I think it was ) when I was on the road with mau maus and pfs in October but the tour has been rescheduled for early 2020. | |

High Street maybe best in Wales! on 09:15 - Sep 30 with 3985 views | taffpunk | I saw it was cancelled, I couldn't make it as I'm at a Punk Festival in Sheffield next weekend. There was a mini bus going over from the Rhondda, 2 great live bands. Hopefully I'll make the re-arranged date. | |
