10 Most Loved Towns in England
What are the most loved towns in England? There is something about the towns in England that makes them famous the world over. Could it be because, in England, there is always a carnival or festival in one place or the other? You probably have to look past the large towns and cities to discover them. That's why we want to look at these 10 most loved towns in England to see why they're loved.
Some of these towns are neatly tucked away, in rolling green hills, on rugged cliffs, near forests, or moorland. Others have beaches and rivers. There’s something about these quintessential towns in England that makes them loved. Follow along and see if you too would love these most loved towns in England.
10. Selby
We start off with Selby a town in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. It is a market town and civil parish in the Selby District. With its status as a town council, Selby is 14 miles south of York on the River Ouse. The town with a population of 14,731 is one of the 10 most loved towns in England.
There used to be a large shipbuilding industry in this town which was historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. It was also an important port on the Selby Canal that was bringing trades from Leeds. Something to be loved about this town is the market towns and picturesque villages. It’s one of the most loved also because house prices there are lower and people get more for their money.
9. Frome
When Frome was listed among one of the “Best Places to Live in Britain” by a popular ranking, we know it’s going to be one of the most loved towns in the country. Now, this town and civil parish in eastern Somerset is the ninth most loved town in England. Frome is built on uneven high ground on the Mendip Hills, at the eastern end and it centers on the River Frome.
The town about 13 miles south of Bath and the largest in the Mendip District of Somerset is loved for being welcoming, charming, and vibrant. A part of the parliamentary constituency of Somerton and Frome, it has a wealth of history, culture, and natural beauty. People from outside the town love it for its tranquility and antiquity.
8. Maldon
The next of the most loved towns in England is Maldon. The town council also in the ceremonial country of North Yorkshire is another town in the county on this list. Of course, North Yorkshire has a lot of loved towns, and this civil parish on the Blackwater estuary in Essex is just one of them. It is the seat of the Maldon District and the starting point of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation.
Known for Maldon Sea Salt being produced in the area, the town with a population of 14,220 is loved for being a good place to retire. You will find a lot of elderly people from whom you can learn about the rich English history and culture
7. Hart
We would love to include Hart here even though it is a local government district. It’s in Hampshire and derived its name from the River Hart with its council based in Fleet. Formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act of 1972, it doesn’t have city status. However, it’s a merger of the urban district of Fleet, and the Hartley Wintney Rural District.
We consider Hart one of the most loved places in England after it was named the best place to live in Britain by the 2017 Halifax Quality of Life study. It’s indeed one of the richest and least deprived areas in the entire United Kingdom, according to the Indices of Deprivation 2015. The town ranked 326th least deprived out of 326 local authorities in England. That’s why people love Hart.

North Yorkshire | The Most Picturesque Places To Visit
Welcome to Yorkshire, in this video we are visiting 2 of the most important and famous abbeys in England as well as the gorgeous town of Knaresborough, all located within North Yorkshire.
Places visited in the video:
- Whitby Abbey
- Whitby
- Rievaulx Abbey
- Knaresborough
These are 4 places I would recommend to you when visiting North Yorkshire as they are some of the most picturesque and breathtaking locations we've seen! Whitby Abbey is a famous abbey located next to the town of Whitby, it has had a very long and interesting history, and the coastal town of Whitby is full of some of its own histories including the fact that Bram Stoker based elements of his novel Dracula from the Abbey itself and he was also staying in this town at the time or writing it!
Rievaulx Abbey is just as grand, if not even grander than Whitby Abbey with many more of its won histories to learn about! and lots of remains give you a real idea of how it would have looked in its prime!
The Town of Knaresborough is so iconic with its victorian viaduct towering over the River Nidd flowing through the centre of this gorgeous town. There are many things to do here including hiring a boat on the River Nidd, exploring the castle and gardens in the town and more... also, look out for the painted windows here!

Places to see in ( Otley - UK )
Places to see in ( Otley - UK )
Otley is a market town and civil parish at a bridging point on the River Wharfe in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Otley is in lower Wharfedale on the A660 which connects it to Leeds. The parish church (All Saints) has 7th-century origins. Otley lies 28 miles (45 km) south-west of York, 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Leeds, 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Bradford, and 196 miles (315 km) from London. The town lies in lower Wharfedale at a bridging point of the River Wharfe where there is a seven arched medieval bridge and is surrounded by arable farmland. The historic town developed on the south bank of the Wharfe, but in the 20th century Otley expanded north of the river, to include new developments at Newall and the Weston Estate.
The south side of the valley is dominated by a gritstone escarpment overlooking Otley called the Chevin and to the north is Newall Carr. In 1944, Major Le G.G.W. Horton Fawkes of Farnley Hall donated 263 acres (1.1 km²) of land on the Chevin to the people of Otley. To the east and west of Otley are flooded gravel pits, where sand and gravel have been extracted in the 20th century. The gravel pits to the east at Knotford Nook are a noted birdwatching site. Those to the west are devoted to angling and sailing.
The main roads through the town are the A660 to the south east, which connects Otley to Bramhope, Adel and Leeds city centre, and the A65 to the west, which goes to Ilkley and Skipton. The A6038 heads to Guiseley, Shipley and Bradford, connecting with the A65. To Harrogate, the A659 heads east to the A658, which is the main Bradford–Harrogate road. Otley bus station is run by West Yorkshire Metro and services are operated by First West Yorkshire, TLC, Utopia and Harrogate Coach Travel. There are local services connecting the town and outlying areas. Otley railway station opened in 1865 and closed in March 1965; the town bypass follows the line of the old railway.
Otley has a diverse range of cultural organisations. It has five active Morris dance sides, the Wharfedale Wayzgoose (Border), The Buttercross Belles (Ladies Northwest), Flash Company (Border, Molly, Appalachian & Clog), Hellz Bellz (Contemporary) and Kitchen Taps (Appalachian Step). Drama groups include the Otley Community Players, Otley Youth Theatre (OY), and a thriving arts centre in the former courthouse. There is a poetry society, which meets monthly in the Black Horse Hotel. The town has a Brass Band who perform at many events in the town.
Otley hosts the annual Otley Folk Festival in September, a Victorian Fayre in December, a carnival in June, and, in May, what is reputed to be the oldest one day agricultural show in the country. This celebrated its bicentenary in 2009. There is a beer festival, organised by the church, in November. Otley once vied with a handful of towns for the distinction of having the most pubs per head of population in England.
( Otley - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Otley . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Otley - UK

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.

Places to see in ( Hessle - UK )
Places to see in ( Hessle - UK )
Hessle is a town, civil parish and electoral ward in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, five miles west of Kingston upon Hull city centre. Geographically it is part of a larger urban area consisting of the city of Kingston upon Hull, the town of Hessle and a number of other villages but is not part of the city. It is on the north bank of the Humber Estuary where the Humber Bridge crosses.
The centre of Hessle is the Square. There are many shops and a small bus station, which was refitted in 2007. Hessle All Saints' Church is located just off the Square and was designated a Grade I listed building in 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. Hessle Town Hall was built in 1897 and is situated at the top of South Lane. Hessle Police Station is next door to the town hall at the top of South Lane and the corner of Ferriby Road.
Hessle is home to the world-famous Humber Bridge, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1981. At the time of its opening, the Humber Bridge was the world's longest single span suspension bridge. It links Hessle to the town of Barton-upon-Humber on the opposite side of the river Humber. In July 2017 the bridge was granted Grade I listed status.
In more modern times, it has been a centre for shipbuilding. Before 1897, there was a shipyard building wooden boats, but it was then bought by Henry Scarr who moved there from Beverley, where he had previously been in partnership with his brother Joseph. Scarr produced iron and steel ships until 1932, when the yard was taken over by Richard Dunston. It was the largest shipyard in Hessle, building vessels such as Loch Riddon, a roll-on/roll-off ferry launched in 1986, and one of four built for Caledonian MacBrayne for use in the Hebrides.
The company went into liquidation in 1987 and was bought by Damen Shipyards Group in the same year. Dunston's was closed down in 1994. The location is now used as offices, car sales buildings and a dock for scrap metal and other materials for dispatch to other areas, or to be recycled. Richard Dunston's ship repairs still exists further east along the Humber Estuary, with activity remaining high. Hessle is surrounded by the neighbouring villages of Willerby, Anlaby, Kirk Ella, West Ella, North Ferriby and Swanland. Hessle is surrounded by the neighbouring villages of Willerby, Anlaby, Kirk Ella, West Ella, North Ferriby and Swanland.
Chalk-quarrying was a major industry at Hessle into the 20th century and quarries can still be seen in the west of the town, the largest being the Humber Bridge Country Park, which is a popular tourist attraction. Part of it is known as Little Switzerland (Little Switz or Switzy for short).
The Humber Bridge Country Park Local Nature Reserve was formerly a chalk quarry and was developed as a country park following the construction of the Humber Bridge. It consists of mixed species of woodland, wild flowers, a spring-fed pond and herb-rich grassland. The park can be explored on several well-signed walking routes.
Hessle is twinned with the French town of Bourg-de-Thizy. Transport to and from Hessle is convenient, with good access to main roads such as the A15, A63 and M62 (via the A63). It also has a railway station with hourly services to and from Hull and to destinations such as Doncaster and York. Hessle is at the start of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, a long-distance footpath and designated National Trail, which crosses the Yorkshire Wolds and ends at Filey on the Holderness Coast.
( Hessle - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Hessle . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Hessle - UK

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Selby Abbey
Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Selby Abbey
Selby Abbey is an Anglican parish church in the town of Selby, North Yorkshire, England. It is Grade I listed. It is one of the relatively few surviving abbey churches of the medieval period, and, although not a cathedral, is one of the biggest. It was founded by Benedict of Auxerre in 1069 and subsequently built by the de Lacy family.
For a time after the dissolution, the church was unused but in 1618 it became the Parish Church of Selby. During the English Civil War and the Commonwealth period the building suffered with the north transept window being destroyed, and the statues on the brackets in the Choir were demolished.
Like York Minster, the church rests on a base of sand and has suffered from subsidence. Many sections collapsed entirely during the seventeenth century, including the central tower in 1690 which destroyed the south transept. The Tower was rebuilt, but not the transept. In the eighteenth century the Choir was filled with galleries, and used for services, the Nave only used for secular purposes.
In 1935 the architect Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott, son of John Oldrid Scott, raised the height of the towers at the front. In 1952 the Abbey was given Grade I listed status. In 1969 Selby Abbey became the first parish church to hold the annual service for the distribution of the Royal Maundy.

A Visit to Selby 13 11 21
Trans Pennine Express have been offering very cheap tickets to those aged 55 or over, so I decided to go for the Selby trip which was knocked on the head almost two years ago by the arrival of Covid-19.
It meant missing the special hauled by two Class 40s but - quite by chance, as my train pulled into Lancaster - there was the special sitting in the middle road. I didn't get a chance to film it, but at least I saw it.
Dumfries to Selby via Manchester is a long trip so I didn't have a great deal of time to film - I simply went for the two most significant features of the town.
Enjoy!

Dunkeld is frequently referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands because of its proximity to the geological Highland Boundary Fault.
This is one of the most loved towns in the UK because it’s a popular holiday area in Scotland. It’s also well connected by road and rail to all the major centers in Scotland and the other parts of the UK. Though the town with an estimated population of 1,330 may be relatively small, it’s also much loved.
9. Selby, England
From there to the English town of Selby. This town is in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. Selby is a market town and civil parish. With its status as a town council, it is 14 miles south of York on the River Ouse. The town with a population of 14,731 is one of the most loved towns in England.
The former town of a large shipbuilding industry was also an important port on the Selby Canal. Apart from its being a market town, it’s also loved for its picturesque villages and affordable much lower house prices.
8. Usk, Wales
Next, we go to Wales to find the town of Usk in Monmouthshire. This town and community is 10 miles northeast of Newport and located on the River Usk. The town with a population of 2,834 has been listed among the best places to live in Wales, by the annual guide of the Best Places to Live in The Sunday Times.
One of the factors that brought Usk to the list and this one is the extraordinary community exhibited by the residents of the town. They have a lot of community groups such as Usk in Bloom. Usk is loved for its history of success in UK competitions. The independently-run museum and sports groups are also a reason to love this town.
7. Frome, England
Let us briefly touch down in England to consider Frome, the seventh on our list. The moment it was listed among one of the “Best Places to Live in Britain,” we knew the town would be one of the 10 most loved towns in the UK. Now, our research has proved true. This town and civil parish in eastern Somerset is about 13 miles south of Bath.
The largest town in the Mendip District of Somerset is loved for being welcoming, charming, and vibrant. As a part of the parliamentary constituency of Somerton and Frome, it has a wealth of history, culture, and natural beauty. People from outside the town love it for its tranquility and antiquity.

LITTLE SMEATON: Selby Parish #10 of 74
Now we come to the smaller of the two Smeaton brothers but in stark contrast to the larger Kirk Smeaton, this video is actually longer because of a natural feature within its boundaries where this video ends. Yes, this is a much smaller village with a lot less in it than big brother Kirk over the Went, but I found much more to get my teeth into here.
For starters the River Went looked fabulous here, and we cross it twice in this video – once on a road, the second on a footbridge that links the two Smeatons together. It is also on the footpath that one of the quirkiest little features I think I have ever found anywhere is to be seen inside the old red phone box. I won’t give too much away here but watch the video and you’ll likely agree with me!
Kirk Smeaton supplies both villages with most of the amenities here but this village does have the park and playground, whilst the pub, shops and school are all located within a short walking distance by crossing the Went. This parish does have its own council though, separate from its neighbour, and as such there still is a parish noticeboard to chuck a TVI card onto!
The various quarries in the Went Valley area have caused a modicum of distress to locals here, after one in particular planned an expansion which threatened the very existence of Brockadale Nature Reserve – a steep sided gorge formed by glacial ice melt that has never had its sides cultivated in its entire history. The site is home to some rare species of flowers and is heavily protected and maintained voluntarily by the residents of this parish.
It’s there where we finish the video today on a bench that simply invites us to enjoy the view, and in this video, you can too. Welcome to LITTLE SMEATON.

HAMBLETON: Selby Parish #26 of 74
Here comes a Selby village which has a population of almost 2,000 people, the majority of which are commuters working in the major towns and cities close by like Selby, York and Leeds, and with it being just five miles from the A1(M) Junction 42, you can see why this place has become such with good transport links to the rest of the nation.
In itself though, even though it's what we would term a dormitory village, it does have quite a collection of interesting things about it. There's a well used village hall, a school and a couple of day nurseries, and two pubs. One of these, The Owl, is a local live music venue as well as being a hotel and a restaurant that's been fashioned from an old manor house!
The village was, and always has been a farming community, and the land around is still farmed to this day. Back in the 1800s that farming community here consisted of a village that had just 500 people, a quarter of what it has now. The swell in population has brought with it a nice mixture to the demographic but it still remains a predominantly White British settlement.
The most interesting thing for me in this one comes in the form of a few sections of railway line in the North of the parish - a junction where two lines cross each other. They are the Leeds and Selby line which runs over a bridge that crosses the East Coast Main Line, and they're linked by what are known as chords, the Southern one of the two built over the site of the former station that once served this very village.
Christmas Trees, household interiors, a Methodist Chapel, a nature reserve and a now demolished pub are also all mentioned in this episode. Welcome to Hameltun, better known to the locals now as HAMBLETON.

WISTOW: Selby Parish #61 of 74
SELBY PARISH #61: WISTOW
Welcome to the first of three villages with the name Wistow in England. The other two are located in Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire, but this is the North Yorkshire version
This is a small village but a huge parish covering a vast swathe of land to the north of Selby. It was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until it was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974
Wistow can trace its origins back to the time of the Danish invaders. It was known originally as Wicestow or Wykestow and it means “a dwelling or a camp in a wet situation”
We’ll discuss why the “wet situation” was a thing as we get into the episode. By the 12th century this was a well established community, reliant on fishing and farming for its livelihood
Through the centuries the landscape has changed both literally and figuratively for Wistow. It used to have a station in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and in the late 1970s, it was part of the Selby coalfield
These days its just a beautiful village set in the most idyllic corner of Selby, far enough away from civilisation to be truly rural, yet close enough to Selby itself to be within easy reach for commuters
It’s not got a lot of claims to fame. That said, William Thompson, a viticulturist credited in California with the development of the Thompson Seedless grape variety, was born and raised in Wistow.
Let’s see what else this one had to offer!

Places to see in ( Tadcaster - UK )
Places to see in ( Tadcaster - UK )
Tadcaster is a market town and civil parish in the Selby district of North Yorkshire, England. It is approximately 3 miles east of the Great North Road, 12 miles north-east of Leeds, and 10 miles south-west of York.
It is the last town the River Wharfe passes before it joins the River Ouse about 10 miles (16 km) downstream. It is in the shire county of North Yorkshire, although historically split between the Ainsty of York and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The town is twinned with Saint-Chély-d'Apcher in France.
Tadcaster gave its name to a much larger rural district council, Tadcaster Rural District and other administrative areas. This may lead to confusion when comparing the size and extent of the current town with information for earlier periods. For example, the population in 1911 of the Tadcaster sub-district was 6831 compared with that of the Tadcaster Registration District, 32052 (source: A Vision of Britain through time).
Tadcaster has a long association with the brewing industry because of the quality and accessibility of the local water supply. Rich in lime sulphate after filtering through limestone, in the right conditions freshwater springs - known locally as popple-wells - still bubbling up near St Mary's church.
The eleven-arch Tadcaster railway viaduct is 1⁄4-mile (400 m) above the Wharfe bridge; it was built as part of the projected York and North Midland Railway (Leeds Extension) line from Leeds to York. Construction of the line was authorised in 1846, and much of the northern section including the viaduct had been completed when the collapse of railway investment in 1849 led to its abandonment.
Tadcaster Bridge dates back to around 1700. It is the main transport route connecting the town centre, which is divided by the river, and one of the town's two road crossings, the other being the A64 bypass bridge. The bridge partially collapsed on 29 December 2015, following flooding.
Tadcaster is served by local bus services operating from Leeds City bus station. The town is a stop on the Yorkshire Coastliner service, which accesses the Yorkshire Coast. Tadcaster has two main football teams, Tadcaster Albion and Tadcaster Magnets, Tadcaster Rugby Football Club, Tadcaster Harriers running club and Cyclesense Cycling Club.
