10 Poorest Places in The UK
What are the poorest places in the UK? The last thing that’ll come to mind when the UK is mentioned is poverty. It’s not among the countries you’ll associate poverty with. This should be clearly noted as we begin. Yet, not every part of Great Britain has the affluence of London, Edinburgh, or Glasgow. Some places in the UK are poor. We’re here to show you the 10 poorest places in the UK.
These places are the same neighborhood with the biggest shortages of basic social infrastructure and facilities such as playgrounds, parks, pubs, shops, and sports centers. You’ll find some of them among the areas left behind in England, Wales, and Scotland. Authorities have to do something about these 10 poorest places in the UK.
10. Newport, Wales
We’re starting in Wales. One of the poorest places in the UK is a city and county borough in Gwent in Wales. We are referring to Newport which is situated on the River Usk close to the river’s confluence with the Severn Estuary. It is 19 kilometers northeast of Cardiff. Newport’s population of 145,700 at the 2011 census notwithstanding, all is not going on fine with the city. It can’t get past its nagging poverty.
Imagine this: of Newport’s 95 neighborhoods in Newport, 23 currently rank among the most deprived in Wales. Do the math, and you will find out that this is about 24 percent of the authority. That’s the biggest percentage of deprivation in the country.
9. Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland
Wales doesn’t have a monopoly on poor places. Scotland has, at least, one of the 10 poorest places in the UK. You’ll find the ninth on our list in Inverclyde. This is Greenock, a town and administrative center in the Inverclyde council area. The town with a population of 44,248 is located in the west-central Lowlands of Scotland.
As proof of how gripping the poverty state of this town is, its population reduced by almost 3,000 within 10 years. In a report that shows how poor some parts of the nations are, Greenock tops the list. In the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation for 2020, Greenock has the highest number of deprived areas in Scotland.
8. Halton, England
England too has some of the poorest places in the UK and the first of these on this list is the eighth poorest place in the UK, Halton. The district and unitary authority that registers its name on this list has a borough status in Cheshire.
When you consider its ranking as one of the worst areas in England and Wales by a global children's charity that also ranks Halton as one of the worst areas in England and Wales to be a girl, you will understand why Halton slipped into the rank of the 20 most deprived areas in England. Other indices like life expectancy, children poverty which is 25 percent, health inequality, and unemployment rates are not in a positive light for this district.
7. Merthyr Tydfil, Wales
We’re back in Wales to find Merthyr Tydfil, the main town in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, as the seventh of the 10 poorest places in the UK. The town administered by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is about 37 kilometers north of Cardiff. Often called Merthyr, the town believed to be named after Tydfil, daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, has a population of 43,820.
This town seems to be hitting above its weight as the go-to place for those looking for gloomy job news. As of March 2018, the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent. Even though it's an iron producer, poor transportation service is the bane of this town that makes it so poor.
6. South Elmsall, England
South Elmsall is a small town and a civil parish lying to the east of Hemsworth with a population of 6,519. When it comes to safety, this town is among the most dangerous of small towns, villages, and cities in West Yorkshire. It’s faring badly in income deprivation, employment deprivation, education, skills and training deprivation, health deprivation, and disability. The 2021 overall crime rate in South Elmsall was 111 crimes per 1,000 people Living in this small town, you will be on a downward spiral of ill health and at the risk of premature death or the impairment of quality of life caused by poor physical or mental health.

Places to visit in the United Kingdom
United Kingdom
I have a puzzle for you. What is in common in Scotland, Wales, Norther Ireland and England? Well not much other than they are one country, the United Kingdom. These four countries offer a unique experience on their own, but together they create a county nothing like any other in the world. The scenery varies from breathtaking steep rigid shores, to lush green pastures, creeks, hills. Beautifully preserved country villages, mansions, castles and cutting edge architecture are all getting on well with each other. The capital is London. An ancient city on the shores of the River Tames. Home to many historical sites such as the Tower Bridge, The parliament with its famous clock tower the Big Ben, The Buckingham Palace, the residence of Queen Elizabeth. Apart from its great historical heritage London is the economical and cultural center of the UK, this includes its bustling social life. When the sun sets the disco fever starts in the Soho, rock bands flood Camden, and hipsters gather in Shoreditch. The old an new entangles in the city's architecture, lifestyle and kitchen.

Driving in Warwickshire | Welcome to Warwickshire | Countryside Roads | Nuneaton | Bedworth
Warwickshire, administrative and historic county of central England, in the Midlands region. As an administrative and geographic unit, the county dates from the 10th century, with the historic county town (seat) of Warwick lying roughly at its centre.
Covering a smaller and somewhat different area than the historic county, the present administrative county of Warwickshire comprises a largely rural landscape of woodlands, fields, and pastures, with only a few large towns.
It includes five districts: Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick, and the boroughs of North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, and Rugby. The administrative county lies mostly within the historic county, but it includes three areas in Stratford-on-Avon district that belong to other historic counties.
The parish of Oldberrow and an area along the River Stour extending from north of Alderminster to south of Shipston-on-Stour lie within the historic county of Worcestershire. An area south of the River Avon (Upper, or Warwickshire, Avon) and west of the Stour, including Welford and Upper Quinton, belongs to the historic county of Gloucestershire.
Although the historic county of Warwickshire excludes those areas, it encompasses a much larger, more populous, and heavily urbanized area in the north. That area, in the present metropolitan county of West Midlands, includes all or part of three metropolitan boroughs: Solihull and the cities of Birmingham and Coventry.
The historic county also includes the part of the borough of Tamworth east of the River Tame and south of the River Anker, in the present administrative county of Staffordshire.
The administrative county of Warwickshire drains mainly to the west into the River Avon and its tributaries. In the extreme south are the headwaters of the River Cherwell, a tributary of the River Thames, and in the north an area drains to the River Trent. Sedimentary rocks, including the brightly coloured new red sandstone, underlie the undulating countryside. In the north there are coalfields, and mining took place around Nuneaton from the 13th through the 20th century. Glacial drift coats many parts of the county.
In early times much of the historic county was heavily wooded, and prehistoric settlement seems to have been sparse. Of the several major Roman roads that passed through the area, one—Watling Street—still forms the county boundary with Leicestershire to the northeast. However, there were no important Roman settlements.
In Anglo-Saxon times the area was part of the kingdom of Mercia, which was absorbed during the 9th century by the kingdom of Wessex. The lands north of the Avon, which became known as Arden, were heavily wooded, with dispersed settlement and isolated farmsteads. South of the Avon lay Feldon, open countryside with nucleated villages such as Brailes and Kineton. That geographic distinction continued well into the Norman era.
During the Middle Ages major towns grew at Warwick and Kenilworth, each with a Norman castle. There are a number of moated houses in the county, such as Baddesley Clinton Hall and Maxstoke Castle, both built in the 14th century.
The villages of Beaudesert and Berkswell have Norman churches. Sutton-under-Brailes and Pillerton Hersey have Early English churches, and Knowle has a Perpendicular, or Late Gothic, structure.
During the late Middle Ages the southernmost part of the historic county, at the edge of the Cotswolds uplands, thrived on wool production while in the north Birmingham developed as a metalworking centre and Coventry was an important woolen-manufacturing and ecclesiastical centre.
Stratford-upon-Avon, the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare, has many buildings associated with the famous dramatist and poet. The Battle of Edgehill, the first serious clash of the English Civil Wars, was fought in Warwickshire near the Oxfordshire border in 1642.
The medicinal springs at Leamington attracted health seekers as early as the 18th century, and, after the visit of Queen Victoria in 1838, the resort town became known as Royal Leamington Spa.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the construction of canals and, later, railways spurred the development of Birmingham and Coventry as industrial centres with important metallurgical and machinery-manufacturing sectors.
By the 20th century Birmingham was at the centre of one of the largest metropolitan areas in Britain, and residential and commercial development extended across the surrounding countryside.
Since the creation of the separate metropolitan county of West Midlands in 1974, the administrative county of Warwickshire has been largely agricultural. Dairy farming is important, and the southwestern part of the county, bordering the fruit-growing Vale of Evesham, is noted for orchards and market gardening. . Area administrative county, 763 square miles (1,975 square km). Pop. (2001) administrative county, 505,860; (2011) administrative county, 545,474.
Kenilworth, Warwickshire
A short tourism video about Kenilworth in Warwickshire.
In centuries gone by, Kenilworth was at the centre of English power and politics due to the dominance of Kenilworth Castle.
Its believed that one of the first English Parliaments was held here.
Mentioned in the Doomsday book, the Castle was built soon after the Norman conquest of 1066.
It was later destroyed in 1649 by Oliver Cromwells forces to ensure it could not be used as a fortress again.
Today it is cared for by English Heritage and is regarding as one of the finest ruined castles in England.
The town also has some significant local landmarks including The Abbey Barn, St Nicholas Church and Abbey Fields.
