The WORST Place to Live in the UK? | BARNSLEY
Is this the worst place to live in the UK? In today's tour, we visit Barnsley. Barnsley was named one of the worst places to live in England in 2022. My intention isn't to offend anyone who is living in Barnsley, I wanted to see for myself why this town is considered to be one of the worst places to live in England and form my own opinion.

Mexborough Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of South Yorkshire, and around 12 miles northeast of Sheffield, is the town of Mexborough. Historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire up until 1974.
The name 'Mexborough' means 'Meoc's fortification', where Meoc is believed to be an Old Norse personal name. Geographically it is located along the north bank of the River Don. The river was made navigable by cargo boats from the 18th century, leading to growth in the town due to its various industries.
Between the 18th and 20th centuries, Mexborough became a producer of brick and glass, and a coal mining and quarrying town. In 1875 Mexborough engine shed opened, although technically located in the neighbouring town of Swinton, which is part of a continuous urban area. At its peak it could handle around 150 steam locomotives, but it would eventually close in 1964 as steam trains were being phased out.
Mexborough's railway station opened in 1871. Today it is situated on the Swinton to Doncaster Line, providing access to Sheffield in approximately half an hour, and to Doncaster in around a quarter of an hour.
Famous people from Mexborough include actor Brian Blessed.

Description
Barnsley Canal
I’m sure there’s many fine reasons (apparently) to go to Barnsley, but walking along an abandoned and disused canal usually isn’t one of them.
And being a native Doncastrian, at least since the age of 13, I have always been somewhat suspicious of anything from the wrong side of the Dearne Valley.
But lest I be set upon by aggrieved Dingles, I should point out all my visits to Barnsley have been pleasant ones. It is a town with a distinct sense of itself, combined as it is with rolling hills, lush countryside, and street after street of dry-stone built houses and walls. It oozes an authentic and reassuring northerness.
Doncaster, with its mismatch of social, coal company or RAF housing estates, outer lying horsey/Range Rover-country villages, and new town aesthetic of misplaced strip towns and leisure parks, would do well to take note.
And yes, I have heard Americans I have known remark that there’s a certain chunk of Doncaster that looks like it should be in the Mid-West.
They are not wrong.
Buy anyway, where was I? That’s right. In Barnsley Canal. Or up Barnsley Canal. Or at least what’s left of it.
Barnsley Canal is very much a ghost of what it used to be, having closed in 1953 due to mining subsidence. Now, it is a shallow, meandering, half-abandoned stream, one long and boring school summer holiday away from becoming a permanent home to supermarket shopping trolleys, illicit bonfires and mysteriously abandoned tyres.
And yet it persists.
As the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust puts it, Barnsley Canal is a ‘sinuous site comprising the course of the now-defunct Barnsley Canal’, and giving ‘great views over the wild, Upper Dearne Valley, its cut-off meanders and sprawling reedbeds’. Yes, that could have been written better.
The rest of the YWT description is perhaps a little purple for what is essentially a dirt path alongside a mostly dried up canal punctuated by marshy and swampy pools, but it is not a walk without merit.
As YWT points out, the site is home to bee orchids in the summer, which aren’t all that common in the north of England. Plus, the hedge along the north of the canal is apparently the ‘longest continuous hedge in Barnsley’.
And who doesn’t want to see the longest continuous hedge in Barnsley?
On the down side, it is one of those walks that essentially takes you to a dead end in a straight line, meaning once you reach the end of the path, you have to turn tail and head back the way you came.
So, is this going to be a regular walk for me? Probably not. And I imagine that unless you’re local and it's regular dog walking terrain, it probably won’t be for you either.
It also has the misfortune in having one of those small and isolated car parks that leave you somewhat wondering if your vehicle is still going to be there when you return.
But it’s worth a look, maybe an hour or two of your time, even if just the once.
