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.

Places to see in ( Didcot - UK )
Places to see in ( Didcot - UK )
Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the administrative county of Oxfordshire, England, 10 miles south of Oxford, 8 miles east of Wantage and 15 miles north west of Reading. Didcot is noted for its railway heritage, having been a station on Brunel's Great Western Main Line from London Paddington, opening in 1844.
Today the town is known for its railway museum and power stations, and is the gateway town to the Science Vale: three large science and technology centres in the surrounding villages of Milton (Milton Park), Culham (Culham Science Centre) and Harwell (Harwell Science and Innovation Campus which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory). The town was historically part of Berkshire until 1974 when there was county boundary change due to the Local Government Act 1972.
The area around present-day Didcot has been inhabited for at least 9000 years; a large-scale archaeological dig between 2010 and 2013 produced finds from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Ages. In the 1500s Didcot was a small village of landowners, tenants and tradespeople with a population of around 120. The oldest house still standing in Didcot is White Cottage, a Grade II listed wood shingle roofed, timber-framed building on Manor Road which was built in the early 16th century.
Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton via the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S) made the town militarily important, especially during the First World War campaign on the Western Front and the Second World War preparations for D-Day.
Formed by the Great Western Society in 1967 to house its collection of Great Western Railway locomotives and rolling stock, now housed in Didcot's 1932-built Great Western engine shed. The station was originally called Didcot but then renamed Didcot Parkway in 1985 by British Rail; the site of the old GWR provender stores, which had been demolished in 1976 (the provender pond was kept to maintain the water table) was made into a large car park to attract passengers from the surrounding area. An improvement programme for the forecourt of the station began in September 2012 and was expected to take around fifteen months. This was viewed as being the first phase of better connecting the station to Didcot town centre.

WINDSOR, UK: Best Things to Do FROM A LOCAL | Travel Guide
Windsor, Berkshire is famous for it's castle and royal weddings. It also happens to be the town that I grew up in, so this is my overview of all of the best things to do - from a local's perspective!
From Windsor Castle to Windsor Great Park, Legoland to Eton College - there's loads to see! It's very easy day trip from London, either by train or bus. The proximity of the main sights makes it very easy to explore.
- Windsor Castle The oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It's Queen Elizabeth's preferred weekend residence and can you blame her? It is also the home of St George's Chapel, where Harry and Meghan's wedding ceremony is taking place.
- The River Thames The Thames flows through the whole of the Royal Borough. French Brothers offer some really good boat tours, as do Duck Tours and some smaller motorboat and rowing boat companies. The best view of Windsor Castle is from the river.
- Legoland, Windsor This is where I got my first ever job! With its exciting rides, shows, and LEGO building workshops, this is a perfect destination for the kids. Be careful though, tickets are expensive if you don't book in advance!
- Eton and Eton Collage Home to the iconic Tudor-era boarding school that has produced 19 of the UK's prime ministers. Eton is a lot less crowded than Windsor and well worth a look.
- The Long Walk / Windsor Great Park The most well-known image of Windsor Great Park is arguably the iconic view down the Long Walk, towards Windsor Castle at the far end. This tree-lined avenue stretches down towards the ancient fortress, illustrating the regal grandeur and Royal heritage of Windsor Great Park. Harry and Meghan will be driving down the Long Walk on their wedding day.
- Windsor and Eton Brewery Fancy sampling locally brewed beer? Then look no further than Windsor and Eton Brewery. You can find them at 1 Vansittart Estate, Windsor SL4 1SE

Didcot Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Oxfordshire (although formerly part of Berkshire up until 1974), and around 10 miles south of Oxford, is the town of Didcot.
The name 'Didcot' came into use from around the 12th century, and is derived from 'Dida's cottage', where Dida (variant spellings exist) was a Mercian ruler. For centuries Didcot was a small village. This all changed with the coming of the railways.
In 1839, the Great Western Railway, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, reached Didcot. In 1844 Didcot station opened (or Didcot Parkway as it is known today). To this day it serves as a junction station between the Great Western Main Line between London Paddington and Bristol, and the Cherwell Valley Line to Banbury via Oxford, where it is the southern terminus.
As railway workers and their families moved to Didcot, a surge in demand for housing took place. Many brick-built Victorian tenements emerged, along with two hotels at the station. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, the railway was the largest employer in Didcot. With the construction of an army barracks in Didcot (today known as Vauxhall Barracks), the army soon became the town's largest employer.
Didcot's layout changed dramatically following the First World War. During the 1920s, Broadway was converted from a quiet residential street to the main shopping area. Much more recently, in 2005, the outdoor shopping centre, Orchard Centre, opened. Also of note is Didcot Railway Centre. Situated on the site of Didcot Parkway station itself, this former Great Western Railway engine shed and locomotive stabling point is today a railway museum and preservation engineering site.
Just to the northwest of the town centre is Didcot Power Station. This is also known as Didcot B as there used to be two stations, however Didcot A was decommissioned in 2013.
TV presenter Matt Richardson comes from Didcot.

Places to see in ( Wantage - UK )
Places to see in ( Wantage - UK )
Wantage is a market town and civil parish in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, England. The town is on Letcombe Brook, about 8 miles south-west of Abingdon, 10 miles west of Didcot, 15 miles (24 km) south-west of Oxford and 14 miles (23 km) north north-west of Newbury.
Historically part of Berkshire, it is notable as the birthplace of King Alfred the Great in 849. In 1974 the area administered by Berkshire County Council was greatly reduced, and Wantage, in common with other territories South of the River Thames, became part of a considerably enlarged Oxfordshire.
Wantage was a small Roman settlement but the origin of the toponym is somewhat uncertain. It is generally thought to be from an Old English phrase meaning decreasing river. King Alfred the Great was born at the royal palace there in the 9th century. Wantage appears in the Domesday Book of 1086. Its value was £61 and it was in the king's ownership until Richard I passed it to the Earl of Albemarle in 1190.
In 1877 he paid for a marble statue of King Alfred by Count Gleichen to be erected in Wantage market place, where it still stands today. He also donated the Victoria Cross Gallery to the town. This contained paintings by Louis William Desanges depicting deeds which led to the award of a number of VCs, including his own gained during the Crimean War. It is now a shopping arcade. Since 1848, Wantage has been home to the Community of Saint Mary the Virgin, one of the largest communities of Anglican nuns in the world. Wantage once had two breweries which were taken over by Morlands of Abingdon.
Wantage is at the foot of the Berkshire Downs escarpment in the Vale of the White Horse. There are gallops at Black Bushes and nearby villages with racing stables at East Hendred, Letcombe Bassett, Lockinge and Uffington. Wantage includes the suburbs of Belmont to the west and Charlton to the east. Grove to the north is still just about detached and is a separate parish. Wantage parish stretches from the northern edge of its housing up onto the Downs in the south, covering Chain Hill, Edge Hill, Wantage Down, Furzewick Down and Lattin Down. The Edgehill Springs rise between Manor Road and Spike Lodge Farms and the Letcombe Brook flows through the town. Wantage is home to the Vale and Downland Museum. There is a large market square containing a statue of King Alfred, surrounded by shops some with 18th-century facades. Quieter streets radiate from it, including one towards the large Church of England parish church. Wantage is the Alfredston of Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure.
Wantage is at the crossing of the B4507 valley road, the A417 road between Reading and Cirencester and the A338 road between Hungerford (and junction 14 of the M4 motorway) and Oxford. Bus services link Wantage with Oxford as well as other towns and villages including Abingdon, Didcot, Faringdon and Grove. Stagecoach in Oxfordshire provide the main services between Wantage and Oxford with up to three buses per hour Monday to Saturday and up to two buses per hour on Sunday's and bank holidays, operated under Stagecoach's luxury Stagecoach Gold brand. Stagecoach provides a late-night service on Friday and Saturday evenings with buses running to Oxford until 2am and buses from Oxford to Wantage until 3am.
Wantage does not have a railway station; Didcot Parkway, 8 miles to the east, is the nearest station, with services towards London, Bristol and Cardiff. The Great Western Mainline is just north of Grove (2 miles North of Wantage) where the former Wantage Road railway station used to be. It was closed during the Beeching cuts in 1964. The Wantage Tramway used to link Wantage with Wantage Road station. The tramway's Wantage terminus was in Mill Street and its building survives, but little trace remains of the route. Wantage has been the site of a church since at least the 10th century and the present Church of England parish church of Saints Peter and Paul dates from the 13th century, with many additions since. SS Peter and Paul also contains seventeen 15th-century misericords.

Places to see in ( Wallingford - UK )
Places to see in ( Wallingford - UK )
Wallingford is an ancient market town and civil parish in the upper Thames Valley in England. Historically in Berkshire, it was transferred to Oxfordshire for the purposes of administration in 1974. Wallingford is situated 12 miles (19 km) north of Reading, 13 miles (21 km) south of Oxford and 11 miles (18 km) north west of Henley-on-Thames.
The town's royal but mostly ruined Wallingford Castle held high status in the early medieval period as a regular royal residence until the Black Death hit the town badly in 1349. Empress Matilda retreated here for the final time from Oxford Castle in 1141. The castle declined subsequently, much stone being removed to renovate Windsor Castle. Nonetheless the town's Priory produced two of the greatest minds of the age, the mathematician Richard of Wallingford and the chronicler John of Wallingford.
Wallingford is on the west bank of the River Thames downstream of Oxford and lies at the foot of the Chilterns. On the opposite bank are the villages of Crowmarsh Gifford and Newnham Murren, connected to the town by Wallingford Bridge, a 300 yard long medieval stone bridge crossing the river and adjacent flood plain. At southern end of the town is the settlement of Winterbrook. The town bypass crosses the river to the southwest over Winterbrook Bridge.
Wallingford grew up around an important crossing point of the River Thames. The place has been fortified since at least Anglo-Saxon times, when it was an important fortified borough of Wessex with the right to mint Royal coinage. It was enclosed with substantial earthworks by King Alfred the Great in the 9th century as part of a network of fortified towns known as burhs or burghs to protect Wessex against the Vikings.
Wallingford Castle was built soon afterwards and became a key strategic centre for the Empress Matilda's party during the civil war that began after her father Henry I's death. After the fall of Oxford Castle to Stephen in 1141, Matilda fled to Wallingford, according to some historic accounts in the snow under a moonlit sky.
Wallingford flourished as a trading centre throughout most of the Middle Ages, and Wallingford Priory produced two of the greatest minds of the age, the mathematician Richard of Wallingford and the chronicler John of Wallingford. After the opening of Abingdon Bridge in 1416 the town went into economic decline.
The River Thames has been a transport route for centuries and Wallingford's growth as a town relied partly on it. Coal was supplied from North East England by coaster to London and then by barge upriver to Wallingford. This supply could be unreliable in seasons when river currents were too strong or water levels were too low. In 1789 the Oxford Canal reached Oxford from Warwickshire and the Duke's Cut at Wolvercote gave it a connection to the Thames.
On 2 July 1866, the Wallingford and Watlington Railway was opened between Cholsey and Wallingford. Its relative speed and reliability enabled it to take a large share of goods previously carried on the Thames. Unfortunately, two months earlier, in May 1866, the Overend, Gurney & Co bank had crashed causing one of the severest financial crises of the 19th century.

10 Best Places To Live In Berkshire
Where are the 10 best places to live in Berkshire? The Royal County of Berkshire, living in Berkshire means having royalty as your neighbours. You’ll be spellbound as you explore the array of countryside villages to slightly bigger towns in the county selected among the places you can call home. In this video, you’ll see the 10 best places to live in Berkshire among which you can make your choice if you care about living in the county of royalty.
10. Sunninghill Let us begin with this village just off the affluent villages of Sunningdale and Ascot. It is unarguably one of the best places to live in the UK because of its proximity to popular sporting venues, flourishing independent shops, cafes, standard schools, and pretty scenery.
9. Pangbourne This is one of the loveliest river villages in County Berkshire. Just a speedy 45-minute commute to Paddington, it has long been recognized as a sought-after hub for families.
8. Hungerford Now, let’s talk about Hungerford, a market town located in the North Wessex Downs. Also a civil parish, it’s such a hidden gem of quaint boutiques and other antique shops.
7. Yattendon Yattendon may not seem like a popular hub to those not from the Royal Borough. However, the village 11 kilometres northeast of Newbury is actually a firm favourite of families hoping to escape the big smoke of London and other busy towns and cities for more tranquil living.
6. Sonning The fairy-tale village of Sonning, described as a little nook in the river is a property gold rush, thanks to its riverside and stunning rural nature setting. If you want to get so close to George Clooney which may compel him to seek a restraining order, you may consider joining around 2,000 residents of this village.
5. Newbury It’s time to fulfil our words about the market town of Newbury. This town of about 35,000 residents is the administrative headquarters of West Berkshire Council. Even then, this bustling market town still retains much of its medieval history and it is on display for all to see.
4. Caversham Caversham, a suburb home to about 24,000 residents is the next place to explore. Slightly busier than some other places on this list, Caversham deserves its slot here for several of its features. It’s in the perfect area for folks looking for town, country, river, and rock ‘n’ roll, according to Muddy Stilettos website.
3. Cookham Cookham is a rural village on the north-eastern edge of Berkshire that takes country life to the next level. Also a civil parish with actual thatched roofed houses, it’s a common destination for celebs desirous of getting away from cities’ hustle and bustle. With the plentiful independent shops and community vibe, it’s perfect for families starting up or settling down.
2. Windsor Windsor is a great contender for the title of the best place to live in Berkshire. Have you ever desired to live somewhere with an extremely high possibility of running into actual Royalty? Windsor is the place to be. It’s perhaps the most iconic town in Berkshire.
1. Wokingham The last but certainly not the least is Wokingham. According to Muddy Stilettos’ recently released best places to live, Wokingham tops the list for Berkshire. It’s one of the biggest boroughs in Berkshire having as many people as the county town itself.
Certainly, every town and village here has certain features securing a place for it among the 10 best places to live in Berkshire. Please let’s have your take on this.

10 Most Hated Towns in the UK
What are the most hated towns in the United Kingdom? Many towns in the United Kingdom are more developed with basic amenities than many places described as cities in some other countries. Thus, every town in the UK deserves some love. Still, the insatiable nature of man always craves more, even under the most convenient condition. Hence, some the UK towns are hated. We shall be unraveling here the 10 most hated towns in the UK. Regardless of the passion or intensity of the frustration, the hatred shouldn’t be transferred to the persons living in those towns. It should be limited to the conditions making such towns unlivable and infuriating so that the concerned authorities can be called to order. Here are those 10 most hated towns in the UK. 10. Llangefni, Wales We start our discussion of the most hated in the UK in Wales. Our first point of call is the Welsh town of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey which also contains the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council. Llangefni is located near the center of Anglesey. It’s also on the River Cefni, from which it derives its name. This county town and the second largest on the island is hated because it has only one thing going well for it, namely playing host to local government, enterprise, and industry. Social life and sports are not doing well in the town. And anytime it features in the news, it’s mostly for the wrong reasons. 9. Slough, England Our entry to England to find most hated towns in the United Kingdom lands us in Slough. This town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire, is our next point of call. Its vantage location notwithstanding, Slough is one of the 10 most hated towns, not only in England but also in the entire UK. According to visitors, it’s a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets and empty beer cans. No single resident has ever contradicted this assertion. 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 without paying for it. 8. Didcot, England The next town on our list is Didcot, a railway town which is also a civil parish in the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire. Also in the historic county of Berkshire, Didcot is 15 miles south of Oxford and 10 miles east of Wantage. The town noted for its railway heritage is just 15 miles northwest of Reading, with its station opening as a junction on the Great Western Main Line back in 1844. The town of Didcot has been described many times as the most aggressive town not only in England but also in the United Kingdom. Regardless of whatever any dissenter found about this town, it will boil down to the same thing—it's a hated town in the UK. Traveling through the station for which it’s known today will put you in confrontation with touts and gangs jumping onto passing trains. 7. Stevenage, England Stevenage is another one of the most hated towns in the United Kingdom. It’s a large town which many won’t take any offense if it’s referred to as a city. It’s a borough in Hertfordshire, 29 miles north of London. It is east of junctions 7 and 8 of the A1(M). It is located between Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City to the north and south respectively. Even at that, those in England hate this town because it’s far cry from what other towns in England have to offer. According to residents, greeting others with eye contact can be considered offensive in this town. Besides, there are a lot of fake brand names in Stevenage this town. A higher rate of pilferage is being reported in this town, even at the instance of the parents.
