It is nine miles from the nearest town, and is served by a bus twice a week. The picturesque, remote village of Caio in Carmarthenshire, south-west Wales, used to have it all.
A village shop, now a family home, closed in 1993. A local Welsh language school, originally opened in 1869, shut in 2012. The village used to be served by seven pubs, Wales Online reports.
The last of them closed in 2019, even before the pandemic wrought havoc on the hospitality industry. But next month, the first pint will be pulled in more than three years after new landlords took over that same pub, the Brunant Arms.
