I want to move here. What should I know?

I'm Welsh and have lived here for most of my life. You'll have to be a bit more specific than that if you want good advice
Where in Wales do you want to live, where are you from originally, what do you want to do for work, what amenities can't you live without etc?

I would advise only moving if you really don't mind the idea of rural British life. There are only three cities with a population above 100k in the country, all of which are on the south coast. There really isn't any kind of true metropolis experience here. The largest city, Cardiff, feels like a medium/large English town. The north and particularly central Wales feel a lot more authentically Welsh and are relatively rural with towns usually being about 10-20k, with Wrexham being an exception. It used to be awful but these days it's a lot nicer.

South Wales have the accent but speak english
North Wales speak Welsh but doesn't have the accent.

Is north Wales free from muslims/pakis/other browns? I want to hear Welsh in its natural environment, but I don't want to see a brown face offending my eyes. Are the Llyn peninsula and Ynys mons the best bets?
>>
Be white. No problem

>Is north Wales free from muslims/pakis/other browns?
It's not totally free (you'll see ethnic food places in towns for example) but it's the whitest part of Wales - Wales as a whole is 93.6% white and most of the minorities live in Cardiff/Newport/Swansea in clusters.
>Are the Llyn peninsula and Ynys mons the best bets?
Yes, probably, although on Anglesey the major towns are quite English speaking due to the tourists, and there are also plenty of places in the southwest too. Personally I would suggest Caernarfon just over the water from Anglesey. The south happens to be much easier to get to from London which you'd likely be flying into or at least passing through on a UK trip. On the other hand, if you're interested you could go into North Wales via Liverpool, head up to Llyn and then Anglesey, and take one of the regular ferries across to Dublin for a day trip or to continue your journeys if you want to see more of the Celtic nations. You can go straight up to Belfast from there and then through to Scotland.

what does light green or dark green mean?
>>
>>2881889
the percentage refers to Welsh speakers, so the darker green the more likely someone speaks Welsh

It has little by way of architecture or history worth seeing. No major cathedrals there, though there are a few castles built by the English that are worth seeing but you only really need to see one (Carnarvon, probably). None of the villages are towns stand-out as distinct or beautiful, except perhaps Portmeirion

Wales is kind of a shithole tf you'd want to move there? The south is a deindustrialized chav dump the north is welsh only
>>
>>2882184

Gwynedd is amazing, so peaceful barely any phone signal, light pollution barely anything. however fuck off Im moving there first
>>
You like multicultural place?

I went to Wales for a holiday a few weeks ago.
The scenery is spectacular.

But.. I was genuinely shocked at the amount of Afghanis/Indians lurking about. I went to a few spots like a famous waterfall, forests.. they're just everywhere shitting up the place.

Quite depressing.
>>
>>2882173
probably, as any sane person would after a few days spent there

Im going to spend a week in england this summer and im thinking about visiting wales a couple of days, any recommendations? Particulary hicking, but anything else worrh visiting id be intersted too
>>
>>2880194

>>
>>2880357
I'm already thinking of moving there, you don't have to sell me on it.
>>
>>2883497
>hiking
Brecon Beacons or Snowdonia, whichever is closer. Snowdonia is generally better. If you're in Snowdonia then Conway and Caernarfon are worth a visit as well, in the Beacons you can divert for Brecon itself and maybe Llandovery and Swansea/Cardiff
