Quick answers

Questions people ask

What is the most walkable town in Dyfed?

Aberystwyth ranks first on walkability among 23 towns, with an A+: better than almost every UK town. Tenby and Lampeter follow.

How are these towns ranked?

The Walkability Grade: the share of commuters who walked, cycled or took public transport to work at the 2021 Census (taken in lockdown). The letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.

Why isn’t my town on this list?

Garrison towns and university campuses aren’t ranked, and towns without the figures this grade needs are counted above. The list covers Dyfed’s towns of 2,500+ with the figure. Smaller places show it on their own pages; every town in Dyfed is on the county page.
