What is the nicest town or city you have visited in England?

I'll go first

Wells

Fighting talk!

The architecture in Bradford city centre is incredible, the Waterstones bookshop in the old wool exchange is probably the most beautiful bookshop in the world. My DD(10) and I jump on the train to head to the amazing fountains in Centenary Square on a hot summer’s day.

I wouldn't go that far but there's something eerie about the place.
Most places have their own vibe.

I don't like Bristol. The nice bits are terrific but most of it is horrible.

Cockermouth, Cumbria.
Port Isaac, Cornwall.

I love a rebel!!! I agree, Verona is beautiful!!!

Bath and Chester by a long way

The Lake District, but not in high season.

I feel like that about Malvern. Lots of people love it and it is indeed a lovely place, but it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

@AndrewMountbattenWindsor I've not been in what way is most of it horrible

Hoping for a couple of days away at some point this year, so this is a good thread for me 👍🏻

Harrogate
York
Mid Devon
And Castle Combe! Amazing place.

I loved Cambridge on my one and only visit. I’d like to go there again too.
Winchester is lovely.
We live between Chichester and Arundel, so I can go to either. Canterbury, I mentioned before. It felt like a much bigger version of Chichester.
I used to like York and Chester many years ago. Haven’t been for ages.

Oxford.

Bradford - on - Avon was lovely & much preferred it to Bath or Bristol.

Winchester & Salisbury

Stamford
London
Manchester
Lossiemouth
Lots of little seaside places on the Gower coast
Whitby

Rye in East Sussex. Stunning town close to the beach at Camber and only an hour on the train from London.

Beccles, Framlingham, Woodbridge

A few more from me

Scarborough (North Shore)
Staithes
Robin Hood’s Bay & Ravenscar

St Andrews, st Ives, Inverness

I can see why you said St Andrews. Full of English students, easy to think it has moved country

it's a very lovely small town in Scotland with fabulous beaches and great wee shops

Hebden Bridge. Can't live there unfortunately; but glad I live close enough to visit often.

London

Surprised by all the love for Canterbury- there are some very pretty bits but so much deprivation.

Scunthorpe. Brilliant little theatre, nice parks and arts centre. And home of the mighty iron!

I'm always surprised so many people love St Andrews. Ruins and a golf course. So many other better places in Scotland to love!
