looking for greener pastures

Anyone know anything about North Wales?  The land, communities, sizes of towns and cities, culture and livability?  The south has long since become unpleasant and difficult to be in anymore.

Also other areas in mountain regions, rural and green spaces.  Fishing for ideas and inspiration at present.  In the future I intend to live away from densely populated areas especially as life for autistic people is rapidly becoming more difficult and untenable.  Today was horrible and made me think about how unhappy I am, how incomplete my life and sense of being are and how much better I feel surrounded by woodland with nothing but the sound of birds and leaves rustling.

  • I live on Anglesey in North Wales, it has got more touristy since covid, but it would seem that many second home owners are selling up because of the taxes on second homes and the 20mph speed limit in built up areas. Eyri (Snowdonia) national park and it's surrounding villages are touristy and full of AirB&B's.

    It's all still beautiful, compared to the cities houses are fairly cheap away from the coast. If you look on Anglesey just steer clear of Llanerch-y-meth, the place pebbledash goes to die.

    Ceredigion could be an option for you as could anywhere north of Carmarthen, it boarders Ceredigion, so you've got an area from Carmarthen to Aberywyth, north to south. If you aim to look around Lampeter you should find plenty of places to suit you. I know the area quite well as I went to uni there.

    But be aware you will need to drive as public transport is sporadic, poor and often non existant. Conectivity for phones and internet often isn't good. Do you reseach and come down in winter to see if you can cope, winter in the countryside can be pretty miserable, weeks of pouring rain, hill's, mountain's and forests blocking the light and mud everywhere.
