10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

10 Most Miserable Towns in the UK
What are the most miserable towns in the United Kingdom? Many of the towns in the United Kingdom are not doing too badly in terms of basic amenities. The quality of life in those towns is higher even than in places recognized as cities in other countries. Still, it can’t be said that all those towns are having it equally. Assessing the standard of living and quality of life in the UK as a whole, we can describe certain towns in the United Kingdom as miserable. Granted, those towns are not inherently terrible. Yet, the situation there is not acceptable in the light of what we see in other villages, towns, and cities, in the UK. In this video, we shall be discussing the 10 most miserable towns in the UK.
10. Cumbernauld, Scotland
We will start our discussion with a town in Scotland. To give you a hint; this is the first of the three Scottish towns on this list of the 10 most miserable towns in the UK. We are talking about Cumbernauld, a large town in North Lanarkshire with an area of 8.3 square miles or 21.5 square kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it should be a city because of its city-like huge population of 51,000.
It has not shed that horrible description as “Scotland’s most dismal town.” Truly speaking, this town is lacking in anything of the good things you would find in Glasgow or Edinburgh. The center of Cumbernauld has been described as the “Kabul of the North.” This says it all. Whatever you know about Kabul has its miniature in this miserable town.
9. Grimsby, England
The first of the 5 cities in England on this list is Grimsby. Maybe we should stop calling it Great Grimsby. If it were great indeed, this port town and the North East Lincolnshire administrative center on the south bank of the Humber Estuary would have all amenities that would make it rank among the best. But the comments from its residents and one-time visitors indicated that life is miserable in this place that has been voted several times as one of the worst places to live in England.
Therefore, the town of around 100,000 residents is one of the most miserable towns in the UK. Its entire area of 88 square miles (or 230 square kilometers) has been ranked the 18th worst place to live a while ago.
8. Airdrie, Scotland
Back in Scotland; we are now examining Airdrie, a town in North Lanarkshire. It also is one of the most miserable towns in the UK. The town on a plateau with an elevation of 400 feet or 130 meters above sea level is about 12 miles (or 19 kilometers) east of Glasgow city center. During its industrial heyday in the 19th century, coal mining and cotton milling were the major industries, no one could then think of this former industrial town as miserable.
However, the exit of those industries has made life there miserable to extent of being branded the most dismal town in the UK. The PR manager for the town admits it deserves its grim reputation as the worst in Scotland. The town is boring and the buildings are ugly.

5 Most HATED Cities in England
For anybody who has lived in a third-world country, any city in England is never bad. On the other hand, people in the developed world are not taken by the razzmatazz associated with the cities in England as portrayed in movies and glossies. But the English are extremely emotional about those cities. Some of them are madly in love with some of those cities, while others have a deep hatred for other cities. Let’s now take you through the 5 most hated cities in England.
Please, let’s get it right; we’re not talking about the worst cities; that can be conjectural. We’re referring to cities people in England hated the most. Follow along as we present the 5 most hated cities in England.
5. Birmingham
Birmingham the home Brummies is our starting point. This is a major city and metropolitan borough located in the West Midlands. It’s in the larger West Midlands region. Birmingham, one of the UK’s major cities, actually the largest and most populated metropolitan borough, is about 100 miles from London. It’s the commercial, cultural, financial, and social center of the Midlands. It stands as the “Core City” enclosed in the second-largest metropolitan center and third-largest urban center in the UK. But it’s also one of the most hated cities in England.
This is understandable given a new study that found that Birmingham has a very bad quality of life. For instance, the earnings are generally lower than the national average and many more people living in this city are likely to be unemployed. The city has pretty chronic cases of homelessness. The city council is constantly broke. The public transport system is expensive and it’s far cry from satisfactory. The practice of knocking down old buildings to build modern ones common in Birmingham is architecturally uninteresting. It even makes the city lack that feeling of English heritage that you get somewhere else in England.
However, Birmingham deserves some respect. Have you ever wondered why it is often called the “second city of the United Kingdom”? We think people in England don’t just like the city and so they fail to see the glory of the city’s two soccer teams. There’s plenty of green space in this city with its canals. They have some other great stuff there; it’s just that they’re not being celebrated.
4. Stoke on Trent
The next of the 5 most hated cities in England is Stoke-on-Trent, often abbreviated to Stoke. The government of Stoke, a city and unitary authority area in Staffordshire, has not been doing enough to change the public perception of their city which has an area of 36 square miles. This largest settlement in Staffordshire, surrounded by the Newcastle-under-Lyme, Alsager, Kidsgrove, Biddulph, and Stone towns forming a conurbation around the city, has a lot of work to do to bring back its lost glory.
A recent poll suggests that external perceptions of those potteries which are a pride of Stoke are still largely negative. A survey of 18 cities including the 13 shortlisted for the C4 hubs asking how many would be willing to move to any of those cities in order to keep their jobs portrayed Stoke in a bad light.

Sources of UK rivers • River Trent • Biddulph Moor, Staffordshire
We love to visit the sources of rivers, and in this video we travel to Biddulph Moor in Staffordshire, to find the source of the UK's 3rd longest river, the River Trent.
The river starts its journey on the edge of the Peak District in Staffordshire before flowing onwards for 185 miles, via Stoke on Trent, Burton on Trent, Nottingham, Newark, Gainsborough and out into the Humber Estuary.
Of the river sources that we have visited, this is definitely one of the easiest to get to, just a few minutes walk from the nearest parking opportunity. Check out our River Sources playlist!

The Biddulph Valley Way (13/10/22). I walked the entire length of the Biddulph Valley Way, a walking/cycling route from Congleton to Stoke-on-Trent, following the disused Biddulph Valley railway line and calling at all former stations along the Way. BUT it's not the only thing followed on this walk...

Brown Edge Biddulph Walk
7 miles strengthenous walk around Brown Edge at Biddulph, Staffordshire today. 20 of us were in the sunshine and walked across meadows of buttercups and hills of bluebells. Many thanks to Andy who led us this wonderful walk! We started and finished at the Top Hill pub where we had a very warm welcome.
Biddulph Grange (Staffordshire)
Truly wonderful place,(if its good enough for Alan Titchmarsh its good enough for me !)
Biddulph Grange Gardens
Behind a gloomy Victorian shrubbery there's a gloomy Victorian mansion, but behind that lurks one of the most extraordinary gardens in Britain...it contains whole continents, including China and Ancient Egypt - not to mention Italian terraces and a Scottish glen.The rhododendrons and azaleas are spectacular in late spring, but the pinetum and the evergreen topiary provide year-round interest. It's a fantastic garden for children, with its tunnels and rockeries, and there is a children's quiz trail. The true brilliance of Biddulph Grange lies in the way that Cooke and Bateman hid the different areas of the garden from each other, using heaps of rocks and thickly planted shrubberies' the design locks together as tightly as a jigsaw or a cross-section of the brain. It contains a series of Italianate terraces, connected by steps and enclosing small flower gardens' at the bottom, long, buttressed hedges enclose a dahlia walk. In the Egyptian part of the garden, Two sphinxes guard the mastaba-like entrance to a tunnel, whose darkness is an invitation to explore. Deep inside is a bloody chamber (lit by a hidden window of red-coloured glass) in which squats the half-spooky, half-comic figure of the Ape of Thoth.

The National Trust's Down Banks, Staffordshire, is a little wilderness of woodlands and heath in the heart of the Midlands.
Biddulph Grange Gardens
This amazing Victorian garden was created by James Bateman for his collection of plants from around the world. A visit takes you on a global journey from Italy to the pyramids of Egypt, a Victorian vision of China and a re-creation of a Himalayan glen.
The garden features collections of rhododendrons, summer bedding displays, a stunning dahlia walk in late summer and the oldest surviving golden larch in Britain, brought from China in the 1850s.
Address:
Grange Road, Biddulph, ST8 7SD
Biddulph Grange Garden, National Trust, England (4K 60FPS, Panasonic G9 with Olympus 12-200mm)
For Panasonic or Olympus fans:
In this video I'm testing my new Olympus 12-200m lens with the Panasonic G9. Not a scientific test, just some shots in a nice place. No golor grading was done, only a slight warp stabilizer. All shots are handheld. E-Stabilization and IS Lock was turned on. Standard picture profile.
I'd been hesitating to buy this lens since it came out. It has an incredible range from 12mm to 200mm (24mm to 400mm in full frame), however not many people have it and there aren't a lot of reviews. Those who thested it prefer the Olympus Pro lenses over this one, this is why I hesitated for so long. However I'm a traveller and hobbyist, not a commercial videographer, so for me it's more important that I don't need swapping lenses all the time on my trips than a constant apperature or flawless sharpness in the corners for example.
Overall I'm very happy with the lens. I've got a couple of pana lenses and this one doesn't seem to be worse than them. I found it very interesting that this non stabilized lens is just as stable with the IBIS in the G9 as the pana lenses with dual stabilization. Actually the 14-140mm was a lot worse, absolutely unusable handheld. (There are topics on the internet about this problem.)
I've got the old 14-150 oly too and this one seems to be better in every way. However I don't own any Pro lenses to compare with.
Tell me what you think. Do you think it's a decent lens? Leave a message in the comments and check out my other videos. If you like them please consider subscribing. Thank you!
