Which UK cities or towns have lovely centres worth visiting?

[Smokeywater]

What city has a great city centre and possibly worth a visit (in response to the other thread about the worst city centres), but towns included too.
Edinburgh obviously, Carlisle is being spruced up and has a cathedral (it became a cathedral in 1133, many restorations but last was in 19thC)), smallish museum and art gallery, a castle and the station all within a short walk of the centre. The centre has lost quite a few of the usual shopping venues but still has a large M&S.
Beverley still has a nice old market town feel. The minster is impressive and St Mary's Church is lovely. One or two nice clothes shops.
Any other suggestions?

Other than Edinburgh & parts of London I'm struggling! St David's in Wales but that's probably not the sort of city centre you're meaning - very lovely though.

Actually Belfast was looking pretty good last time I was there.

York
Chester
Stamford
Northallerton
Yarm
Beverley
Southwold

Not all cities but places with nice centres.

Newcastle
Liverpool

I guess it depends what you're looking for. If it's big, vibrant cities I think all of the big cities have a lot to offer (Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff).
But for pretty, smaller cities I'd say York, Bath, Salisbury, Cambridge, Oxford.
There are plenty to choose from!

Winchester is lovely a Cathedral, the west tower and the great hall are the historical bits. Still a good range of shops with a mix of independents and nationals. The cathedral cafe is a nice place for lunch good value they do a great soup each day which is made of whatever the local veggie farmers have too much of.

Wells
Bath

Lichfield is lovely and very compact. The cathedral is beautiful and there are lots of cafes and a few nice shops still. It also has great charity shops!

Bath
Cambridge
Malvern
Cheltenham
Cirencester
St Davids
Trowbridge
Malmesbury
Bradford on Avon

Newbury, Hungerford, Bradford on Avon and Bath all gorgeous

Ripon
York

Richmond (Yorkshire, not London) if you dont mind a small town

Worcester is nice. Lovely cathedral that’s still free to enter, lots of lovely old buildings.

Bradford

I am going to Leamington Spa soon which is meant to be nice

Lincoln (up near the cathedral is lovely) and Chester

I agree with this in particular Newbury has an independent department store.

I used to live nearish to Newbury but never visited the town centre as always headed to London for days out.

Ludlow
Salisbury
Shrewsbury
Norwich
Stroud

bath

Lymington is nice

I think we’re lucky in the UK because there are loads and loads of quirky, ancient pretty bits of towns and cities. There’s obvious ones like Windsor, or Winchester or Bath but also oodles of others - even just in the SW…

Sidmouth
exeter
totnes
truro (Cornwall is swimming in pretty fishing villages, Fowey, Looe, st ives, boscastle etc etc)
bristol
tavistock

even places like Plymouth have ancient bits like the Barbican…

and the NE? Alnwick Morpeth Harrogate York Whitby Newcastle (I could go on and on)

genuinely so many fascinating and nice places

York
Bath
Oxford
Cambridge

Cirencester
Bath
Harrogate

York is beautiful, I visited for the first time earlier this month and already want to go back!
