The seaside town of Rhyl in North Wales has received some bad press over the last few years. It has even been voted, 'Worst Seaside Resort In The UK'.
In this Rhyl vlog, we'd like to give you a full tour of the town and let you make up your own mind.
Rhyl was a regular day out location for us as youngsters and in this Rhyl vlog, we tell some stories along the way.
Staring at one end of the town, by the Pavilion Theatre, we head along the beach, past the fair, into the town, then all the way to the other end at the harbour.
Join us on this Rhyl adventure and let us know when you have watched it, if you still think Rhyl is the worst seaside resort and town in the UK.
We hope you will be pleasantly surprised.
As always, we finish off the vlog with a pint in a local pub.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint KZfaq channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Another brilliantly put together video Rach and Wills 😊👏👍. We really appreciated your honesty. We have lots of good memories of visiting Rhyl, including taking our niece and nephew to the old sun centre when they were little, that was so much fun😊. It is a shame to see these seaside towns decline, but we don't think it is as bad as people say, and we were chuffed to see that some money has been invested in the town since we last visited. Really cool to hear about your connections to Rhyl too at the theatre😊👍. Thanks for another great watch, can't wait to see what you guys do next! Hope you have a good week, Shell and Pete

Ah thanks guys. We both have such fond memories of it as kids and it’s so sad to see how it is these days. It’s definitely better than it was 10 years ago, but has a long way to go yet. It must have been amazing in the 1920’s. We’re going to check out the air show this year and see what it’s like on its busiest day!! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic week. 🍻

Been living in Rhyl since the late 90s, and spent most summers of the 90s here too, and this pretty much summarises the problems with the area. People are focused on its heyday and how parts of the town have "survived" where in fact they're standing in the way of it getting its second wind. I'm all for celebrating the area's past grandeur and reflecting on how good things were but when locals, tourists and DCC use the nostalgia factor to paralyse change in the area, it prevents us from moving on, improving the area and shaking the glorious title of the UK's worst tourist town. There are many ways that the area's history and traditions can be remembered without having to look at dilapidated eyesores on practically every street in the town centre.

Thanks for watching Ryan and you’re absolutely right, it’s never going to be what it was, but hopefully with all the development it will be something to be proud of. I believe they’ve started work on the balloon thing next to the theatre. We’re looking forward to seeing that finished and it will fill in that gap on the front too! We love Rhyl for the memories we have there, and it will always be special to us. We do however love the older surviving buildings in town like the town hall, pillared church and the bingo hall. I’m sure with careful development the old and new can sit hand in hand and compliment each other. We hope to check out the air show this year and see Rhyl on its busiest day. Thanks for watching our Vlog and taking time to comment. Cheers 🍻

Well I never!!! I've been to Rhyl. Yes, Gladys and Aneira on the road trip through Wales booked a BnB in Rhyl. It was fantastic. Dinner at a family restaurant along the promenade. We did get quite a negative reaction from others when we mentioned going to Rhyl. I'm so glad you have shown so much more than we've seen. If we'd had an extra day we would have explored more. So thank you, Rhyl isn't all bad at all. Thanks for this. Loved it. We don't regret having a stay over in Rhyl at all. 👍 🤩 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

Hopefully with some more considerate development it will be considered a more desirable seaside town. Thanks for showing us everything. Really good to hear your memories of the theatre too.

Cheers to the good times! 🍻 This was an awesome video from start to finish, what a great idea, having grown up in a seaside town that changed so much in the time we lived there it would be cool to venture back and take a trip down memory lane like you guys did. It was lovely hearing your old stories from your times there, it was a real insight, but whatever you felt about how it had changed for the better or worse what came across from every second you were there was your unconditional love for the place. The sincerity was awesome but what was even better was the editing, every shot, felt timed to perfection and intentional. Just loved it, exceptionally professional and I imagine this video will find cross the spectrum appeal! Huge like from us! 👍👍

Sadly so many of todays planners/designers miss the heart of the old bygone years and you end up with a totally sterile place! I hope that doesn’t happen. It will be interesting to see what it’s like at the air show this year. Thank you for your kind comments about our editing. We absolutely love the editing process so this has made us super happy. Happy Easter and thank you again. 🍻

We enjoyed the tour of Rhyl, Rachel and Wills. The old pier looked like fun! Too bad it's gone. Loved the backstage tour of both of your pasts! Rhyl didn't look bad it looked like a fun place. It's too bad some of the things are gone and some a little run down. A town has to continue smart updates but yet still preserve it's history. They've done some of this. Looks like there's still some to be done. Thanks for bringing us along!

Hi guys thanks for the tour and you're right, Rhyl has some really good places like Marine Lake and the harbour and the nature reserve and the lovely wide open sea front, and its great that they are spending so much money on it and tearing down so much of it and before long it will be back to its former glory once again . I like how you give an honest review of these places 🙂 👍Happy Easter 💜

Rhyl. All of my childhood holidays were at Rhyl late 60's, early 70's. As a kid I loved it. The pier, although closed was a focal point. There weren't many cars, which was great. I just went out in the morning on my own, and wandered about. There was a side street second-hand shop with a birds egg collection in the window, which stated, 'Not for Sale'. It was a real novelty seeing and hearing gulls, living in Coventry the rest of the year. The local slots was called, Fun Land', and it was. The old fun fair was at the noisy end of town, as my mum called it. You could smell the doughnuts and candy floss way before you could see it. I seem to remember hearing, 'Coco' by the Sweet, another year it was, 'Johnny Reggae' (he's a real tasty geezer) Strangely, I don't remember a harbour. I went out on a boat on the lake. It was so windy that I was pinned to the far shore, and the man had to tow me back with his motor boat. What fun! The indoor botanical gardens, had an African grey parrot, called Peter, which bit me. I still have the scar! I suppose nowadays there would be a claim made for compensation, or something. But back then my mum told me to suck my finger until it stopped bleeding. I remember learning to roller skate on the front, paid my sixpence or whatever it was, and an hour later I'd got the reddest neck you've ever seen as sunscreen was a thing of the future. There was also a place you could hire a pedal cart, or a bike..that was fun, being an only child. Are the bowling greens still there? I drove through Rhyl about 20 years ago, and was kind of disappointed by the nose to tail car park the front had become. I don't suppose I would be all that bothered about the changes, if I visited as a child again, but looking with adult eyes, Rhyl seemed to have lost something....or maybe it's just me. But the best thing ever, not having any money, was digging holes in the wonderful sandy beach. Happy days 🙂

Thank you so much. We feel so privileged that you’ve shared this memory with us. Both of us have such fond memories of Rhyl as children, and you’re probably right, the kids that are enjoying their time there today won’t see the tatty bits, they’ll just be loving the time they spent there making memories. The bowling greens are indeed still there, they’re up by the new pub Myn Yr Haul - I think that’s where they always were. We’ve got another Rhyl video out this Sunday as we went to the air show last week. I hope you enjoy that one and we manage to stir up some more memories from what sounds like absolutely idyllic times spent there. Thanks you again 🍻

I have to say i've never been to Rhyl, it does really remind me of welsh seaside towns though, just seems abit more less touristy and unloved, but i think that adds to the charm! Amazing heading in the arcades, always lots of classics and fond memories of beach holidays in the UK!

It's sad that any place is called 'the worst...' Rhyl seems to have some nice points to it and it's good that the local government and community want to improve it further. The beach area is huge, the Victoria era terrace houses seem to have been preserved and perhaps renovated (?) they don't look boarded up and abandoned. The memorial gardens were lovely and the promenade was nice as well. Anything made in concrete doesn't age well, I hate brutalist architecture with a passion, so I agree that monument and the seating area need to go. The Arcades to me just screamed British Seaside town, very retro especially the carpets!

Thanks for this lovely comment. It was wonderful to stroll down memory Lane. Yes the Victorian facade has mostly survived. Sadly they have been converted in to many flats, so whereas they would have been B&B’s they are now many many flats! We hope the money going in will really help, but at the moment the old and new just don’t mix! We are looking forward to checking it out during the air show to see if Rhyl at its busiest is better! Yep retro carpets!!! So you can’t see all the stains 🤮. Thanks so much for watching 🍻

Aww... it looks like at one time it may have been a bit grand. You know what's odd... it's not an exact match, but there's actually something about the quasi-modern elements along the waterfront that reminds me of the city I live in. It also has these kind of white-washed, geometric pieces everywhere that sometimes works, sometimes feels like an awkward fit. Well, at least Rach got a good supply of arcades in, and it was nice to see you both reconnecting with your own pasts in the theater scene there. Thanks for this folks!

I've never been to Rhyl, so I was interested to see if it really lived up to its bad reputation. I enjoyed your vlog, and I think you presented the good and the bad very fairly. Growing up near the coast in Norfolk, I'm very familiar with small seaside towns, and the the large seaside resort of Gt Yarmouth. I must say, Rhyl did look rather unloved and soul less in places, but it did have some good things about it too. There was some interesting old buildings and a wonderful large expanse of beach. So sad they lost the funfair. What I really noticed is the large amount of sand on the pavements and promenade. Is it really windy there? Another fun and informative video. Cheers!

There are some seriously ugly 'modern' buildings in Rhyl and no-one seems to be there, ever... It makes me a bit sad to see the place now. There is nothing left of the history of the place apart from a few postcards in cement and an amusment arcade from the late 70's. It is a car-park by the sea. It is such a beautiful beach.

We used go a lot in the 60's and 70's as a child and loved Billy Smarts Circus especially when they took the elephants for a cool down in the sea. Then came along our own family and we tried to recreate some of that magic in the early 90's but by this time it was obvious the rot had long since taken root. Children all flown the nest and we thought we would take a trip down memory lane once more just a few years back , the streets were empty with the exception of a few hooded cyclist looking like they were delivering drugs and the place just felt uncomfortable and uninviting. We didn't bother to get out of the car and continued on to Anglesey instead.

Have the most brilliant time!! Their new attraction opens next week. A balloon ride next to where the old sun centre was. Apparently will give you an amazing view across the beach and town!! Cheers for watching 🍻

Thanks for sharing, My Parents had a house near the sun verge for over 20 years and the last few years Rhyl prom and Splash Point has looked better and better on my weekly photo walkabout, surprised you didn't mention Horton's Nose nature reserve as its next to the new bridge. All the best

Thanks so much for watching. We have so many fond memories of Rhyl and it is great to see the seafront coming back to left albeit slowly. We did quickly dip into the nature reserve, but the light was going and we wanted to see Marine Park, so it didn’t make the video. It is a lovely place though. We look forward to checking out your photos and footage of Rhyl. Thanks for taking time to leave us a comment. Cheers 🍻

@@PostcardAndAPint The seafront's not coming back to life. The amusement arcades are disappearing. Fewer and fewer visitors are coming. I've lived here for nine years and can see it. The same mistakes are being repeated.

This is a super awesome video. I have never been to Rhyl so found it very interesting. The seaside looks so nice, wish I was there tbh. Keep up the great work. Excellent 💛

I've lived here for nine years and it's horrible. This is from someone who loves seaside resorts, not a detractor. I stayed in Southend at Easter, Saturday to Tuesday, and it was completely rammed: Rhyl was empty when I left.
