Underrated places in the UK

[MaMaLa321]

I enjoyed reading the thread on overrated places (so strictly this is a TAAT, sorry) but would love to know where in the UK people think is underrated.
Mine is Nantwich. I'd live there like a shot.

Wiltshire

Not exactly underrated so much as barely mentioned. Beautiful county - the downs are amazing. Lovely little towns and villages. Great walks, places to eat.

Norwich.

I couldn't agree more. We have booked a holiday there this year.

Essex. Lots of pretty old villages like Dedham and it gets so much flack.

Dundee.

Gets a bad rap but it is a fantastically vibrant city.

Another vote here for Wiltshire.

I agree about Nantwich!

Holy Island and the surrounding area.

Scotland - all of it, especially the coasts.

Swansea.

The wirral peninsula.

Some truly beautiful towns and villages
Parkgate ice cream
Beaches
Ridiculously good schools
Great transport

Lancashire coast. Formby, Crosby, Hightown, Southport - and the weirdness of Hesketh........

Ooooh and Canvey Island. Love a bit of Essex. Tacky but totally unique.

Dundee - lovely and so interesting.
Bamburgh

Abingdon, it was a great weekend break, but that may have been helped by an all expenses weekend paid by a brewery.

Saltburn, love going for a day out there. So pretty and no tacky arcades for the kids to mither for.

The Eden Valley. Stuck between the Lakes and The Yorkshire Dales so hardly gets a look in but just as lovely without the crowds.

The whole of Northern Ireland! Simply stunning

This this this!

Another vote for Dumfries and Galloway - stunning coast line, great walking, biking, castles, gardens etc. Lots of hidden gems and never crowded. Dundee also fab.

I agree. I saw it on telly a couple of weeks ago and some of the villages are gorgeous. I'd love to visit and travel around a bit. It looks like a beautiful old county.

Belfast. What a lovely city and the architecture is amazing. Totally didn’t expect that

Everyone needs to keep schtum about Shropshire/Shrewsbury. We like it all to ourselves as we’re greedy.

By all means come visit but it’s like Fight Club, the first rule of Shropshire is you don’t talk about Shropshire.

It’s nice to see some love for good old Brum. It’s had a dodgy rep for years but it’s a wee gem of a place that’s in the process of being polished. Brummies are on the whole some of the nicest folks I’ve ever met too.

Cheadle.

Great to see rural Staffs getting lots of mentions, I also really love Burton-on-Trent, although that's Derbyshire border.

Bury st Edmonds is really nice

I agree about Nantwich!

Live just down the road, it's stunning.
