What are the most isolated towns and villages in the UK?
John o Groats’s pretty isolated. I probably live in the most isolated town in Britain. I live in Aberystwyth on the West coast of Wales. It’s in the middle of nowhere! The nearest big town is Shrewsbury! In England! Swansea’s two hours away, Bangor’s and hour and a half away. I think the most isolated village I’ve ever been to is Porthdinllaen. On the Llyn peninsular in North Wales, you have to park your car 2 miles away in a lonely car park, then you walk down to a long white beach. You have to walk for the 2 miles around the bay to Porthdinllaen. All that’s there is a lifeboat station, about 5 houses and a very very good pub! Seriously, it’s a very traditional pub. If the tide comes in far enough there’s no escape. I remember once I had to sleep in the pub. There was a storm on the sea and looking out the window was amazing! There were waves crashing against the pub’s walls. It was one of the best nights of my life! There are some isolated villages on the Gwyr peninsular near Swansea
