Best high street: Narberth, Swansea and Treorchy make shortlist
Three Welsh towns have been shortlisted in the UK's best high street awards.
Swansea, Treorchy and Narberth hope to take the crown after Crickhowell in Powys won the competition in 2018.

Narberth is like a little Dorset market town - very genteel and quirky. 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. |  |

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]

At least they would stand up to right wing English nationalists who are willingly looking to trash the UK economy to make fortunes for their rich mates.

You're right, Camarthen is more genteel than Swansea too. | |

One of the finest music venues in narberth. Went there with Skindred a few years back. |  |

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. |  | | |

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! |  | | |

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]

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. | | | |

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. | |

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. |  |

Tenby would be ok if it wasn't for the people that visit it. |  | | |

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. | |

A commonly held view down there 
Must admit I prefer Saundersfoot but Tenby has a lovely vibe about the place particularly off-season. | |

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... | |

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. | | | |

Now Llandeilo is posh. | | | |

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. | | | |

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. | |

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. | |
