I ventured into one of Wales’ happiest towns, Llandrindod Wells, and discovered something unexpected! Known for its stunning architecture and repeatedly voted the happiest place to live in Wales, this town left a well-known YouTuber, famous for his ‘worst towns’ videos, scratching his head. He couldn’t find a single thing wrong with Powys, much to his surprise. His quest to find a ‘Turdtown’ ended with him admiring the grand buildings that seemed more fitting for a bustling city than a quaint town of just over 5,800 residents.
Powys has previously been criticised on his Turdtowns channel, but this time, he found it nearly flawless. Even Brecon, which he described as “slightly scruffy,” won him over with its charm and bookish appeal. And while filming scenic shots with a drone, local Red Kites apparently had other ideas, forcing an early retreat.
Llandrindod Wells might just be the perfect getaway, beautifully capturing the essence of what makes Wales special. Yet its true charm is its under-the-radar status, cherished by locals who enjoy the peace away from throngs of tourists. This quaint town truly offers grand architecture, charming streets, and warm, welcoming locals. It seems the secret is out: Powys is not only happy but also quite enchanting.
So, whether you’re hunting for happiness or just a beautiful place to unwind, Llandrindod Wells might be the perfect spot for your next adventure. Have you been or planning to visit? Share your experiences below! 🏡🌟
