On his visit, David noted New Quay's lack of fundamental amenities like a proper bank, supermarket, and train stations, underscoring the shortage of cash points: "There is literally nothing nearby at all, a lot of mid-Wales has no train stations, so unless you drive, you are getting everywhere by bus.".
Once a charming fishing village famed for its herring catch, New Quay has seen its local economy evolve, with lobsters and prawns now being the mainstay for the remaining fishermen, as one local revealed to David.
The charming seaside town of New Quay in Ceredigion has become a magnet for tourists, drawn to its stunning beaches, dolphin-spotting opportunities, and connections to the famous poet Dylan Thomas.
New Quay has also been labelled the most isolated town in England and Wales, owing to its distance from nearby amenities.
Although New Quay boasts its own primary school and GP surgery, younger residents must travel outside the town to attend secondary school.
