About
Know Wales
When you are about to spend money in a Welsh town — a taxi, a meal, a bed for the night, a tradesman, an MOT, a day out — you can open that town and see what it actually costs, what to expect, and who you can use. Facts are dated. Language is plain. The list of names stays short.
The site is organised town by town across Wales, so the answer is for this place, not a generic blur. Residents use it on an ordinary Tuesday. Visitors use it on their first night. Either way, you spend with a clearer picture.
Common questions
What does Know Wales publish?
Dated local facts for Welsh towns: official hackney tables and how hiring works, menus and price sense, stays, trades, MOT, and a short list of people you can actually use.
How do businesses appear on a page?
Names follow the knowledge — what it costs and what to expect in that town. An editor chooses a short list when it helps answer the question. How we choose is explained on the site.
What we cover
- Taxi fares — official hackney tables, routes, then who to ring
- Food and drink — independents, menus, and price sense
- Stay — what the stay is like before you book
- Trades — Gas Safe and clear expectations before walls open
- Car care — MOT and workshop knowledge, then who to use
- Things to do — season, fitness and tickets before operators
- Town guides — how a town hangs together: getting here, parking, when it is busy
