These days we’re constantly glued to our phones, mindlessly scrolling through social media or furiously typing away at numerous group chats. So it’s quite refreshing to go somewhere where you’re uncontactable from the outside world.
It’s the experience you’ll have if you visit the tranquil Welsh village of Pontsticill as there’s no phone signal - perfect if you want to escape from it all. The pretty village is tucked inside the Brecon Beacons National Park, just north of the town of Merthyr Tydfil.
With gorgeous views of the Brecon Beacons and terrace houses built in traditional grey stone, Pontsticill has a wonderful rural feel to it. When our colleagues at WalesOnline went to visit the village, they discovered a world which was frozen in time.
