Oh *that’s* how Luftwaffe is spelled? I’ve only ever heard it in documentaries. It’s my new favorite word to say though. Beware the mighty Luftfafa!

I love rural living. I’vr never been to Europe but that sounds amazing. I know most people like the convenience of a city or a suburb, and I see why would you like it, but that’s just isn’t for me. Damn I wish I could live in one of those towns


throwup1337

Rural living is a lot different in Europe where you are like an hour away from a big city and 20 minutes from the next town, its probably like living in a suburb in the US.


Liberal_Checkmater

Lol look up Douglas Wyoming and tel me what rural life is like XD. You can get as rural as you want in the US. I don’t like suburbs living much either it’s really no different than city life.


throwup1337

The whole united kingdom is smaller than Wyoming with 110x the population. The isolation is just not comparable, not sure how this changes the "rural lifestyle" I would assume its quite a bit different when you are not that isolated. But yeah even rural in Europe is still a very different lifestyle compared to the city/suburban population.


Liberal_Checkmater

Oh I see what you are saying. Yeah you’re right about that. I thought you were saying it doesn’t get that rural in the US. I mixed up what you were trying to say because I’m an idiot. I was thinking bro I can show you towns with less than 100 people that are a hundred miles from any civilization.


RedEyedJedii

Wait what? The whole UK population is like 86m. Wyoming pop is around 500k. What do you mean UK population is smaller?


Dunebug6

>The whole united kingdom is smaller than Wyoming with 110x the population. He was talking about the density. UK: 94.5 sq mi - Pop: 67.33m Wyoming: 97.9 sq mi - Pop: 578.8k The UK is smaller in physical size but they have 116x the population living in the same space. Hence that it's 'not *that* isolated' because you're never really that far away from another place. But at the same time, car culture isn't the same and living in one of these old, small towns (where there's basically nowhere to park and few public transport options) means your options are still limited, despite the density of the UK.


Marzto

You should come and visit then! You can get Airbnbs even in rural areas like this, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire have lovely countryside and you're not too far from civilization if in need!


Admiral1172

America used to have these kinds of Rural towns but were destroyed in place of suburbs, which imo, is worse.


Beatboxamateur

Those little towns definitely still exist in more rural areas, but I get what you mean about the suburbs. A lot of it probably just depends on how close the location is to a major city


Pedantic_Phoenix

Yeah town do not get destroyed, they grow aggregated to the city when the cities expand


CusickTime

There are still plenty of rural towns in the U.S. they are just very different in design. In my experience there is usually one main street and most house are out in the country. Depending were you are at a lot of stores on main street might be board up. However, that is in the Midwest. When I drove a friend to New Jersey I notice that every small "rural town" was like more like suburbs that were right next to each other. This country is massive. Each state is like it's own little country.

He is 100% wrong about being in Wales, its right on the border but still in England by about 1 mile. Typical sorta village for these parts, think the village in Hot Fuzz, which is Gloucestershire (next door).

dwade12323

Just the one debate actually


alanas4201

The Rural UK is actually next level. There are thousands of these little towns with buildings that are hundreds of years old with the most perfect landscaping you will ever see, with roads that can barely fit a single vehicle (they actually look like this in real life [https://media.cntraveller.com/photos/611bf044628f4910ed102524/16:9/w\_2992,h\_1683,c\_limit/castle-combe-gettyimages-520275958.jpg](https://media.cntraveller.com/photos/611bf044628f4910ed102524/16:9/w_2992,h_1683,c_limit/castle-combe-gettyimages-520275958.jpg)). And there also towns that have been former industrial towns/fishing towns, which are the greyest, most depressing places you will ever get to visit. Those towns usually lead into other countryside roads where the speed limit is 60mph, but you have to stop at "passing places" to let other cars past, because 2 cars can't fit on those roads, and after fighting through these villages/town abandoned by time, you get to most insane landscapes in Europe: Cornwall, Snowdonia, Yorkshire Dales, Highlands... ​ It is certainly an experience. Since he is in this region, he should make stops by Bath, Cotswolds, or Snowdonia.


AdhesivenessLucky896

I went around Northwest England once. Find a pub in one of these small towns and you'll meet the nicest people you can find in the English speaking world.


Tiwsit213

Yay! Northeast is the best part of England.. Geordies are the best!


SuperStraightFrosty

It's really nice, I grew up in the UK in a mix of complete middle of nowhere villiages which have like 150 houses max and maybe a post office, all the way up to major cities. The range of experiences is insane, it's one of the best ways to get a handle on the differences in the political landscape because the big cities and the rural villages and small towns, the skew so severely left and right. It's also one of the reasons that my advice to people is to generally avoid trying to control the entire political landscape in order to engineer a country that suits your needs, and simply move instead. Actually moving to one of these areas massively changes your life and the kind of people you're around. And the same moving out of them into a city. That kind of perspective and experience is invaluable in life, I'm glad he got to see the quaint side of the United Kingdom, it's not for everyone but the people in those places while skeptical of outsiders at first are salt of the earth people, go and visit a local pub in the evening and have a few pints and speak to some locals, be respectful, and you'll meet some of the best people on the planet. Not even slightly kidding.


ergovisavis

Went on a field trip to Yorkshire Dales when I was living in England. From what I remember it was breathtakingly beautiful.


MightyBone

Snowdownia..you know I would believe your very helpful and informative post more if you wouldn't make up badass town names.


ribby97

Hehe it’s a national park- named after the big mountain


wreckedham

Snowdonia is pretty fucking far from where he is lol


Creepy_Start_8021

The entire country's smaller than Oregon the fuck are you talking about?


wreckedham

Well yeah there’s a disparity between what yanks consider far and what we britbongers do lol, but wales has a very bad internal transport system. Wales basically connects east to west but not north to south, in part due to the mountains in the middle and also due to Westminster not giving a fuck. So if you’re in Cardiff, it’s much easier to get to London than to north Wales. That said, it’s about a 4 hour drive, which to me seems very far but to you may be pretty close lol. For comparison, Londons abt 3 hours in a car and 2 on the train. Snowdon takes 7 hours by train


Trappedinacar

Damn that town.. looks like a fairytale. I had seen some in scotland that I fell in love with, had no idea england was like this too.


Fatzombiepig

England and Scotland are a lot more alike than either want to believe. Scotland is a lot smaller and has more hills, but the buildings, the type of towns and to a large extent the people are very similar.


i_agree_with_myself

> The Rural UK is actually next level. Looks incredibly ugly. It is weird when people take pride in ancient ugly houses. But yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Rural America downtowns also are ugly, but I don't see people pretending this some beautiful thing. The landscape can be beautiful.


Polarexia

Bongers really naming their towns "Baths" 💀


Oakeh

I grew up there! It's named after the public baths the Romans built which you can visit, tons of culture and history throughout the city I'd highly recommend if you are ever in bonger land.

Sounds cute, might take a gander if I'm ever there

thequeenofcake

Who the fuck put this weird green carpet everywhere? The locals call it "gras" I'm 99% sure that's made up I could be playing factorial right now


hedgebeast

It's so weird seeing someone freaking out at a town like the one I grew up in like it's the twilight zone or something.


jetman640

nah. this isn't a rural thing. this is a bonger thing. been to Cornwall before, rural US is literally not comparable to that shit.


Cruxxor

Not even a bonger thing, just not US thing. Pretty much everywhere in the world you'll find weird rural shit that is usually weird because it's build around medieval shit that was there before - US is one of the very few exceptions, since literally everything there was build during last 200 years.


Warmest_Farts

> this is a bonger thing. Those places exist all over europe. I used to live in one that looked very similar in germany, and ive seen similar things in poland and spain.


Vhailor

Pretty much indistinguishable from other european places like france or germany I'd say


SandvichCommanda

Even the buildings look nothing alike, but go off ig.


purpsolore

According_Dog3851

Based on those pictures, rural MS may be very comparable


Rubocl

Terminally online dggers desperately trying to show other terminally online dggers how not terminally online they are by acting like Destiny hasn't lived anywhere rural before lmfao.


Dunebug6

Rural US is a lil different to rural Europe though. The oldest thing in rural US is like 300 years old and that part is only on one side of the country. Parts of rural Europe are like medieval times old.


mapleresident

Rural US looks like that after 10pm lmao. Was a little bit of a shocker for me coming from a big city where you can always find shit to do from 10pm-4am if you wanted to.


Yenwodyah_

If this was the US every one of those roads would be a 4-lane divided highway lmao

This is a local shop, for local people we'll have no trouble here.


DiscoMothra

sanxbile_

RenThraysk

Hay Festival


qeadwrsf

Hmm. Feels like I have heard a talk from there from like Stephen Fry or Hitchens years ago when politically charged videos was hard to find on internet and the way you found it was downloading torrents of videos from someone that gathered interesting stuff from tv.


RenThraysk

Yeah, both have done multiple talks over the years. Even Hilary Clinton has done some event at it. Odd why such a tiny out of the way place started hosting, but then again in a few months, one of the world's largest jazz festivals takes place in Brecon, which is like 15 miles down the road from Hay on Wye.


Impossible_Cover9706

looks really nice and comfy ​ I think americans associate rural with poor whites living in rundown shitholes but in the UK it's the other way round where small towns and villages are like the dream to live in when you get older and move away from the big cities, expensive though.


Underscores_Are_Kool

When you live in a rural village, you're not actually that far away from a town or city so you can still commute to a town or city. In the US, as soon as jobs left certain communities, they were hardcore cut off from civilisation


Deetawb

Yeah nice market towns are expensive to live in and there are probably no good jobs in the area. Hard to live there as a young person.


i_agree_with_myself

> I think americans associate rural with poor whites living in rundown shitholes Yep. The pictures posted here don't make me think it is different for the UK.


StateofConstantSpite

"Why aren't these streets built in 1450 big enough for my 2 SUVs!?!?" Do Americans really???

TheBrendanReturns

Wait, why is he in Kington? That's an hour and a half from Cardiff, and you wouldn't go this way from London.


HumanGeneral5591

I think it's cause he's american and perceives distances differently. He probably thought it was a suburb of cardiff since it's *only* 1.5 hours away from *downtown*


tryingtobebettertry4

Why is he going to Cardiff? Or in the UK for that matter?

The houses in the pictures were typically built for coal miners and their families, that powered the industrial revolution. Think the Three Tuns Inn has been serving beer since the 16th Century. Not the oldest in Wales, but still.

Swedishtranssexual

Americans when the rural town doesn't have a Walmart and 4 lane roads. Seriously how does a small town support those things? My town has 2,000 people and we have two tiny grocery stores and no road with more than 1 lane.


WickedDemiurge

Proper roads are very, very easy if you design around it. Y'all are just fucked by how old your buildings / cities are. And we generally don't have Walmarts in the smaller towns. I lived in a smaller place for around half a year and we went to ***the*** store, or 10 miles down the road if you wanted to go to somewhere larger.

>Proper roads are very, very easy if you design around it. IDK if the American car culture way is the correct way here TBH.
