hey thought id cheer all u guys and gals out there by starttin a thread on the worst and best places in the UK! so i would really like ur opinions and thoughtts on this. to start the ball rolling i will say that the best place ive been to is a tie between

London and liverpool!! (visit Liverpool cos its great!! Birthplace of the beatles after all!and it has at least 8 independant record shops! al close to each other! brill atmosphere!!)

the worst place is Bradford! Very depressing altho there is that big photography, cinema and tv museum which is ok to look at.

so its over to u.....

Well youve started the ball rolling o.k. with my two worst cities i.e. London and Liverpool (stop whining will you).
Leaving out Sheffield due to bias Ill go for Edinburough and Plymouth

p.s. have worked in most of the major cities and a lot of the smaller towns

I sometimes have to venture into Mansfield for work and I really do dread it each time. I think it's a ghastly place to be and terrible to drive in. I can't put my finger on it, I just feel uncomfortable there.

My favorite place in the UK is Littlehampton down on the south coast- a splendid little seaside resort it is! :)

Fave place has to be southampton, full of new and modern biuldings. also very clean.
wost place is manchester, the trams are just a complete joke and i dont thaink that they have rubbish bins over there as i am always seeing litter all over the place

The worst place (IMO) is Harcourt Sands - IOW.

The best is home.:thumbsup:

Coventry wasn't pleasant ....the best place erm :huh: Anywhere unspoilt really...like the countryside and remote coastal areas....!

:P

I'll go for Coventry too (worst place), best place - Sheffield because its home.

Basingstoke.

Much worse than Coventry.

Always enjoy Kent.

Never thought I would like Sheffield before visiting.

Sound place :D

best places: edinburgh (miss the meadows!), glasgow, newcastle
worst places: northampton (bit odd....!,), bishop auckland (spent shool years there, have some good memories but it seems to be setting worse!!)

With apologies for anyone living in the area, I can honestly think of nowhere else as awful as Dalton. Even when I've had the misfortune of driving through the area, I feel a mad desire to get myself under a hot shower.

Yes, I know, I know, the place has gone through some rough times, but I doubt if any money of any value was thrown at the place it would be any better.

As regards to nice places, somewhere down Cornwall perhaps, or nearer to home, my 'adopted' city of York. A walk through Museum Gardens, a stroll by the Ouse and an evening having a meal in Melton's, followed by a pub crawl.

(Infact, I'm already booked into a hotel for August.)

Leaving out Sheffield for obvious reasons, the best city by far in the UK has to be Norwich.
Superbly maintained old buildings integrated with all that you'd expect from a large modern city.

Worst place? Difficult, have been through a few but can't say that I've actually experienced life in them.
Probably anywhere in Lancashire would fit the bill!!
:heyhey:

Worse place in the country has to be Rotherham. It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. Horrible hole full of obese people forced into tight clothing, whoes idea of sophistication is getting a fake tan and fake nails. If I ever ended up having to live there I would make sure I left all my sharp knives at home.

The best place in the UK is Chester. Beautiful medieval city full of charm and character. Cestrians being by far and away the most pleasant people to grace the earth.

Other places worth mentioning are

1) Scunthorpe
2) Hull

Best place would have to be York, beautiful place, friendly people, small enough to walk from A to B.

Least favourite - well the one that stands out would probably be considered an unusual choice as most people rave about it, and I've only visted once so I may not have got an accurate impression of it - Oxford. Not nearly as pretty as the likes of York and Cambridge, and the people seemed very unwelcoming and unhelpful. A very over-rated city.

Worst place - Stockport (ooh the Chavs!)

Best place - Isle of Skye in Scotland (no Chavs!)

Best places - Canterbury, Padstow, Richmond or Edinburgh (and of course Sheffield)

Worst places - Wolverhampton, Basingstoke, Aldershot (or Alder**** as it's affectionately called round my way!) and Cardiff.
