The single weirdest village on Earth is a place called Deiniolen. It's across a lake from Mount Snowdon in the heart of welsh-speaking Gwynedd.

Don't go there. It has something like an 80% unemployment rate (or "not waged"). The pubs serve beer in plastic glasses. It's basically something from the Australian outback dropped into rainy Wales.

Went on a school trip there to see a hydro electric power plant, literally the worst place I've visited. Hotel was like the outlook.

In the middle of the island, its all made out of the same stone

I have been doing missionary work in Wales for years and one thing that strikes me is they only have 5 surnames ,Roberts,Davies,Jones,Evans or Williams.

yep, that's my one ha. jones is the surname of 2 of my last 4 ex's (the other two weren't welsh, haha)

the village im from (sat in it atm) has three football fields, one pub and a corner shop which is about 5 years old - oh and for some reason a train station.

all very odd, because it has about 80 people capacity (was about 30 when i first moved here), in the middle of nowhere and this shop is the only one for about 6 miles either direction. having three seperate football fields at either side of the village is a tad odd, but the team is coming on leaps and bounds, people are coming from afar to play for us. i was part of the first ever youth teams to be set up - i started a dynasty!

haven't really visited many odd villages though, tend to swerve them, just stayed along the south wales border and making the odd trip up through the north to go to goodison, the middle is very odd though, nothing but land - and that's where the odd((in more sense than one) village pops along.

i was born in narberth, where most people speak english and our rivals, which are about 10 mins away are all fluent welsh speakers, on the pembs/carmarthenshire border, it's oh so very odd how it goes quickly from one language to the next in a little space, no petering out with billingual personnel
