I Found a ‘SECRET UTOPIAN’ Community HIDDEN in a UK City – Joe Fish x Level8

Joe Fish takes viewers deep into one of the UK’s most remarkable hidden worlds – The Holtsfield Community in Swansea. Once a cluster of humble holiday retreats, it has evolved into one of Britain’s longest-standing alternative living communities, where residents have built a self-sufficient, off-grid lifestyle tucked within thick Welsh woodland. With wooden lodges, converted vans, and a spirit of independence that’s lasted since the 1940s, Holtsfield feels more like rural Appalachia than suburban Swansea.

In this exclusive documentary, Joe uncovers how the community fought for its survival all the way to the House of Lords, and speaks to residents who’ve lived there for generations. It’s a fascinating look at the rise of alternative living in the UK – and proof that a different way of life is still possible.
