hello! I'm a little lost in my Welsh geography
![]() Pontypool and Newport look like my best bet (even cardiff isn't too far away)- are these nice places or places to avoid? If anyone could spare a minute to give a a list of yays and nays of the area then it's worth a drink when I get down there ![]() Rob. |

I'd prefer to get somewhere by myself. Not living there at the moment I can't really trapse in to 10 houses meeting people to see what I like! Budget wise I'm sure I could stretch to £400 month.
Location doesn't **** me, although somewhere in the country would be biketastic ![]() ![]() |

How about Usk? Though I can imagine it could be a bit pricey. No idea about Pontypool. Newport is hit and miss. You'd need to choose carefully as there are some rather manky areas that you'd want to avoid. It is fairly cheap compared to Cardiff though and I'd imagine you could get somewhere reasonable for £400. Pretty much wherever you are in South Wales you are going to be fairly close to some nice roads. Abergavenny and Monmouth seem nice, both have a Waitroses and pricetags to match! |

Caerleon and Chepstow are worth considering too.
