From the wooded alleys in the south to the moorland in the north, Blaenau Gwent’s beautiful landscape is rich with history from Bronze Age remnants to industrial heritage sites. It’s also one of the safest places to live in the UK, with the council reporting that serious offences are extremely rare. Many of the schools in Blaenau Gwent perform better than the Welch average, and property prices are very low, as is the cost of living in the area. With the beautiful Brecon Beacons right on the area’s doorstep as well as retail opportunities including the Festival Park shopping outlet, Blaenau Gwent residents enjoy a high quality of life at a low cost.
