\nThere are few places in better spirits than this remote and ancient placeWhat\u2019s going for it? Hardcore, the Cardigans. They take no nonsense. Owain Gwynedd, Cadwaladr ap Gruffydd and Gruffydd ap Rhys kicked out the Normans, razing the castle and building their own, thank you very much, which stands there to this day.

There\u2019s culture aplenty: a great cinema, Theatr Mwldan, a film society, and an \u201calternative\u201d theatre venue, the Small World Theatre. This is one of those corners of Wales that has long attracted outcasts and hippies, rat-race escapees, such as the brains behind the Meghan-sported Hiut jeans, and those who have frankly had enough of everything (who can blame them right now?).The case against Precious little. Unless you can\u2019t live without motorways and skyscrapers. Probably harder to find work unless you are Welsh-speaking. Continue reading…
