10 Best Places to Visit in England - Travel Video
Check out all the places seen in this video:
England is a richly historic country, and one that is packed with fascinating destinations. It’s a great place to explore, and whether you’re a resident or tourist the country retains a boundless capacity to surprise, charm and excite. From the mystery of ancient Stonehenge to the modern architecture along the Thames River, England has a wide range of appeal to visitors from around the world. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in England:
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.

10 Crap Towns in England
What are the crap towns in England? The name England evokes pride, and living in England on its own, in the UK for that matter, is something to be proud of. However, it is not all English towns that you can and should be proud of. Some places are considered ‘crap towns’ in England. Please note that this position doesn’t originate from us. It is from observation of those living in those towns in England and those who have visited. And those who are living in these towns agree that theirs are among the worst towns to live in England. Yet, we can’t find any ground to refute their position based on our private findings. In this video, you will see the towns that folks refer to as the 10 ‘crap towns’ in England.
10. Blackburn
We open this discussion in a large industrial town of Blackburn located in Lancashire. It’s north of the West Pennine Moors and on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley. Blackburn is just 8 miles east of Preston and also 20 miles northwest of Manchester. The mere consideration of its location alone could give some people an idea of the reason for its being labeled as one of the ‘crap towns’ in England.
Beyond that, however, pieces of ratings Blackburn is been given in this recent past are bad. Not long ago, the author of a popular report named it one of the most segregated towns in Britain. We dare add that the tough riot is one of the results of idleness, wants, and general dissatisfaction with life reflected in how people throng turn to street begging. You’ll see youngsters bunking off school and harassing passersby for money to be used in buying a cheeseburger.
9. Oldham
Not many people will expect this old town of Oldham which is also the administrative and authority center of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham to be described as a ‘crap town.’ But what does the reality on the ground portray about this large town in Greater Manchester? It shows that the town which is about 5 miles southeast of Rochdale and 6 miles northeast of Manchester is actually one of the worst towns to live in the UK. Don’t let us relate want we ourselves have found.
Some feel that the town lacks all culture and sophistication that can be emulated.
8. Castleford
“A trip to Castleford is a real eye-opener . . . and you need to keep your eyes open because if you dare to close them, they’d have your wallet faster than you could say” said a voter who voted Castleford one of the ‘crap town’ in the UK. Coming back home in England, a town with this recognition is certainly one of the crap towns in England. This town in the City of Wakefield within the county of West Yorkshire has always got bad reviews whenever it is to be discussed.
This low standard in this town may be due in part to its being a town of kith and kin. Sentimental attachments to relationships are likely to come in the way of standardization and adherence to the due process. This Wakefield’s largest town was also rued thus “you have to wonder whether the essence of chavdom stems from bad breeding, or in the case of Castleford, possible interbreeding.”
7. Blackpool
It might take a while before Blackpool get itself off a list like this. It is a consensus member in the rank of the ‘crap towns’ in the UK. We have also seen it mentioned in several lists of the worst towns to live in England and the UK. Blackpool is also on and off of lists of the most depressing towns to live in the UK. Why then is it still boasting of being the entertainment capital of the North it claims to be when a stratum of the society actually sees it as one of the most boring places to live in the UK?
A reviewer said of this town: “While in Blackpool all you smell is weed, McDonald's, KFC - you may think it's a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys but it's a scum-bucket for the transients who come here to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of in an inner city.” Is that not what you would expect of a place described as a ‘crap town’ in England?

10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

5 Most Dangerous Cities in the UK
What are the most dangerous cities to live in the United Kingdom? Ranking the United Kingdom as the 116th most dangerous country is not bad at all. That means the country is safer than, at least, 115 others in the world. Between 2020 and 2021 alone, it experienced 600 homicides as just one of the crimes reported that year. A total of 6.1 crimes were reported during that year. Out of these, 2 million were crimes against another person. If there were 67 million people in the UK during that year, the crime rate would be a whole 2,985 crimes per 100,000 people. However, it’s not everywhere in the UK that is dangerous. In this video, we will discuss those currently rated as the 5 most dangerous cities in the United Kingdom.
5. Nottingham
This city with links to the Robin Hood legend and which is famous for lacemaking and the tobacco industry is incidentally here. If we go by its population of 337,100, Nottingham that’s playing host to the headquarters of a number of major international businesses including Boots, E. On Energy, Pedigree Petfoods, and Gala Bingo, is the 14th largest city in the UK.
It’s the most dangerous major city in Nottinghamshire. Out of the 236 cities, towns, and villages in Nottinghamshire, it’s among the 20 most dangerous overall. In 2021, the overall crime rate in Nottingham was 114 crimes per 1,000 people. That was 49 percent higher than the crime rate in Nottinghamshire with a rate of 76 per 1,000 residents. Violence and sexual offenses are the most common crimes in Nottingham with 14,210 offenses during 2021, producing a crime rate of 45 per 1,000.
In 2020, a total of 34,228 crimes were committed with a crime rate of 108 per 1,000. In 2019, 42,113 were committed with a rate of 133. The year 2018 witnessed 41,970 crimes with a rate of 133. In 2017, the crime rate was 119 with 37,753 crimes. And in 2106, the total crime was 30,097 with a rate of 95 crimes per 1,000 people.
In December 2021, Nottingham was the most dangerous city for bicycle theft, with 52 crimes reported. That month was also a bad month for the city’s residents as it was the most dangerous area in Nottinghamshire for burglary while 110 of these crimes were committed. The city recorded 321 criminal damages and arsons still during December 2021.
4. Birmingham
We just have to agree with the inclusion of Birmingham on this list. This is a city with a population of about 1.1 million with an urban area having just over 2.6 million residents and a metropolitan area with a population of 3.5 million. Birmingham, despite having a coveted reputation as the first manufacturing city in the world some 200 to 150 years ago, is currently one of the most dangerous cities in the UK.
As the most dangerous major city in the West Midlands, Birmingham is among the 10 most dangerous overall out of the 44 cities, towns, and villages in the West Midlands. In 2021, the overall crime rate in this city was 137 crimes per 1,000 people. That was 17 percent higher than the West Midlands’ overall crime rate of 118 per 1,000 residents. Violence and sexual offenses are the most common crimes in Birmingham during 2021 when some 78,062 of these crimes were committed. That was a rate of 67 per 1,000 and was 38 percent higher than the 2020's figure.
Consider also the historical crime rate for Birmingham, not just what it had in 2021, and form your opinion. In 2020, a total of 123,271 crimes were committed with a crime rate of 106 per 1,000. In 2019, 120,832 were committed with a rate of 104 per 1,000 residents. The city in 2018 witnessed 114,605 crimes with a rate of 99. In 2017, the crime rate was 89 while 103,319 crimes took place. And in 2106, the total crime was 90,930 while at the rate of 78 crimes per 1,000 people.

10 Ugliest Towns in the UK
What are the ugliest towns in the United Kingdom? The United Kingdom, viewed as a whole country, has been blessed with the best of architecture. Historically speaking, the country’s leading role in the industrial revolution is still being reflected everywhere you go. The cities’ and towns’ centers are generally beautiful. Those structural remnants of our architectural heritage are still very feasible and are things to be proud of. But it's not every part of the country that has been so lucky. There are a good number of towns that could do better with a bit of architectural loving care (ALC). These places have unattractive architecture and unappealing town centers. Let me now show you some of those towns. This video is about the 10 ugliest towns in the UK.
10. Fort William, Scotland
Let’s begin our list in Scotland. We go straight to Fort William, a Scottish Highlands town in Lochaber located on Loch Linnhe on the eastern shore. This town is the second largest of all the settlements in the Highland council area and even in the whole of the Scottish Highlands.
Fort William is one of the 10 ugliest towns in the UK and it's close to the ugliest in Scotland. You may initially get carried away by pictures of residential areas with the landscape that are well grassed and covered with trees. However, the town center is quite ugly. No wonder the town has been described as one of the depressing towns in the UK and ghost towns in Scotland.
9. Bracknell, England
The first town in England among the 10 ugliest towns in the UK that we’re considering is Bracknell. This town in Berkshire, which is also a civil parish, is large. It is the administrative center of the Borough of Bracknell Forest.
A popular online survey once ranked the town lying 18 kilometers to the east of Reading, 14 kilometers south of Maidenhead, 16 kilometers southwest of Windsor, and 40 kilometers west of central London as one of the ugliest town centers in the UK. Its homes are haphazardly built, and driveways aren’t easy to navigate. Dozens of shops had closed in the northern area of the town and a demolition exercise was being planned to regenerate the town.
8. Rhyl, Wales
Now to Wales: and the first Welsh town on our list is Rhyl generally seen as a seaside result for the reasons unclear. This community in the county of Denbighshire that lies within Flintshire is today one of the ugliest towns in the United Kingdom. Rhyl is one of the most deprived places in Wales and in the entire UK. How, then, do you expect such a town to be beautiful as a whole? In a town where some 56 percent of the working-age people live on benefits, who would work towards beautifying the town? That’s why it can’t be far from the truth when a reviewer described the town as “the most disgusting seaside resort on Earth.”
7. Cumbernauld, Scotland
Let’s go back to Scotland where we find Cumbernauld, a large town in North Lanarkshire. This tenth most populous locality in Scotland is also the most populated town in North Lanarkshire. Located in the center of Scotland’s Central Belt, Cumbernauld sitting between east and west on the Scottish watershed is one of the ugliest towns in the UK as it is between the Forth and the Clyde.
All attention was drawn to this town by the event organized by architecture magazine Urban Realm during which local authorities in the UK were castigated for their negligence and incompetence in beautifying their towns with attractive architecture. The town is so ugly to have deserved the nickname the ‘Kabul of the North.’

10 Ugliest Towns in England
What are the ugliest towns in England? It might sound inconceivable that any town in England, the home of the Queen, can be as ugly as towns in developing parts of the world. In architecture, England is filled with unique public spaces within the country that make the town centers quite appealing and serve to promote ecosystems. Besides, parks and green open spaces are in abundance in this land to glorify the works of art. Yet, the architectural rejuvenation programs cropping up each year show that many towns in England are not doing too well in maintaining the structural remnants of the region’s architectural heritage. Those towns are ugly, to say the least. Here is a list of the ugliest towns in England.
10. Bracknell
As one of those on our list of ugliest towns in the UK, we have to begin this one also with Bracknell, a town in Berkshire, which is also a civil parish and a large town. This administrative center of the Borough of Bracknell Forest is not keeping pace with the drive towards having beautiful town centers in the entire old British Empire. It surely deserves a place here.
The condition in Bracknell in recent times has become bad such that a survey ranked it as one of the ugliest town centers in the UK. The survey isn’t baseless as it finds proof in homes that were haphazardly built there. The roads and city center are not convenient to navigate.
9. Blackburn
Somewhat uglier than Bracknell is Blackburn, a large industrial town in Lancashire. The town located 13 kilometers east of Preston and 34 kilometers north-northwest of Manchester seems to be deliberately left out in the country’s architectural scheme as it is lacking in all of these. A comparison of statistics for this administrative center paints a very grim picture. The most saddening of this is that it’s one of the most deprived areas of England.
Lovers and sympathizers of Blackburn have decried the ghettoization of the town center which is terribly ugly and for some decades has been sleepwalking and drifting. Some residents say they are just slumming it in the town for the sake of lack of a better place.
8. Chatham
Chatham, a town within the Medway unitary authority that is in the ceremonial county of Kent is another one of the ugliest towns in England. This town which developed around Chatham Dockyard has reasons to be beautiful if the potential is harnessed, especially with several Army barracks that provided a defensive shield for the dockyard.
However, this and the Corps of Royal Engineers still based in the town at Chatham at Brompton Barracks appear to be preventing it from reaching its potential in architectural designs. Thus, this town has once been named the most slobbish town in all of Britain. Because of the poor array of homes in the town center, the majority of the residents in the town aren’t happy.
7. Maidenhead
Maidenhead also qualifies itself as one of the ugliest towns in England. It’s a market town located in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead situated in the county of Berkshire. Sharing its borders also with Buckinghamshire, the town of Maidenhead is on the southwestern bank of the Thames River.

BLACKBURN TOWN CENTRE Walking Tour | England, UK
A walk around the town centre of Blackburn. My Adventure Planet
Blackburn is an industrial town and the administrative centre of the Blackburn with Darwen borough in Lancashire.
The town is north of the West Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley, 8 mi (13 km) east of Preston and 21 mi (34 km) north-northwest of Manchester.
Blackburn is the core centre of the wider unitary authority area along with the town of Darwen. It is the second largest town (after Blackpool) in Lancashire.
At the 2011 census, Blackburn had a population of 117,963, whilst the wider borough of Blackburn with Darwen had a population of 150,030.
A former mill town, textiles have been produced in Blackburn since the middle of the 13th century when wool was woven in people's houses in the domestic system.
Flemish weavers who settled in the area in the 14th century helped to develop the woollen cottage industry.
The most rapid period of growth and development in Blackburn's history coincided with the industrialisation and expansion of textile manufacturing.
Blackburn's textile sector fell into decline from the mid-20th century and subsequently faced similar challenges to other post-industrial northern towns, including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing problems.
Blackburn is located where a Roman military road crossed the river Blakewater. The road linked Bremetennacum Veteranorum (Ribchester) and Mamucium (a major Roman fort that occupied Castlefield in Manchester).
The route of the road passed east of Blackburn Cathedral and probably crossed the river in the Salford neighbourhood just east of the modern town centre. It is not clear whether the road predated the settlement.
All Hallows Spring was excavated by Antiquarians in 1654 and found to contain an inscribed stone commemorating the dedication of a temple to Serapis by Claudius Hieronymus, legate of Legio VI Victrix.
After continued economic decline in the 2000s, new investment began in the 2010s.
In 2015, Scottish designer Patrick Grant rescued Cookson & Clegg, a factory founded in Blackburn in 1860 that was facing closure.
The following year he launched the Blackburn-based clothing brand Community Clothing to boost employment in British mills and factories.
EFL Championship side Blackburn Rovers is based at the Ewood Park stadium. It was established in 1875, becoming a founder member of The Football League in 1888.
In 1890 Rovers moved to its permanent home ground at Ewood Park. Until the formation of the Premier League in 1992, most of Blackburn Rovers' success was pre-1930, when they won the league twice and FA Cup six times.
After finishing runners-up to Manchester United in 1993–1994, Rovers won the English Premier League the following year. In 2002 they won the League Cup.

At the 2001 census, Blackburn had a population of 105,085 whilst the wider borough of Blackburn with Darwen had a population of 148,850. Blackburn had a population of 117,963 in 2011, with 30.8% being people of ethnic backgrounds other than white British.
A former mill town, textiles have been produced in Blackburn since the middle of the 13th century, when wool was woven in people's houses in the domestic system. Flemish weavers who settled in the area in the 14th century helped to develop the woollen cottage industry. The most rapid period of growth and development in Blackburn's history coincided with the industrialisation and expansion of textile manufacturing.
Blackburn's textile sector fell into decline from the mid-20th century and subsequently faced similar challenges to other post-industrial northern towns, including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing problems. Blackburn has had significant investment and redevelopment since 1958 through government funding and the European Regional Development Fund.

BEST Park in ENGLAND..... probably, Bold Venture Park - Darwen
Bold Venture Park in Darwen, Lancashire is probably the best park in England. It is often described as the gate way to the West Pennine Moors and therefore, is a great place to start a hike up to Darwen Tower and beyond. Alternatively, the park has a rich heritage to explore and also has many artistic features and sculptures. Why not join me as I follow Huntington Heritage Trail through the park and beyond.
The park has an initial formal layout and changes as it travels uphill and the steepness can be challenging in places but does consequently offer a good walking challenge. As you travel upward there are a series of water features including a forty foot high waterfall.
Children are well catered for as there is a good playground with a varied selection of play equipment. However, children will equally be entertained by the various animal wooden sculptures and the giant table and chair, which is know as Huntington's Parlour which they can pose in for the inevitable photo.
This video captures all these features as we amble through the park and out on to the moors to visit Darwen Tower (sometimes known as Jubilee Tower). We return and ensure we capture some of the remaining features including a stone relief scupture before explaining why we believe this to be the best municipal park in England.
The friends of Bold Venture Park are constantly restoring and improving the park, please consider donating below:
Even a small donation would help Friends of Bold Venture Park reach their fundraising target. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share this video to help spread the word.
Blackburn Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Lancashire, and around 20 miles north, and slightly west, of Manchester, is the town of Blackburn.
Lying on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley, Blackburn is recorded in Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Blacheborne'. The name is derived from the River Blakewater on the banks of where the town was founded. The river was culverted during the Industrial Revolution and now runs underground.
Blackburn was a textile-producing town from as early as the 13th century. Flemish weavers settled in Blackburn in the 14th century, ushering a centuries-long era of wool and cotton production in the town. One of the key players in the industry was James Hargreaves from the neighbouring town of Oswaldtwistle. In 1764 Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny - a mechanical cotton spinning device that would revolutionise the manufacturing process.
At its peak Blackburn would go on to run around 80,000 looms in the town. Other industries in Blackburn over the years include coal mining, brewing, paper making, engineering and electronics. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal connected Blackburn to its waterways by the early 19th century, boosting its prosperity at the time. Then in 1846 the railway reached Blackburn.
Blackburn is one of a small handful of towns in the UK with a cathedral, i.e. it has not been awarded city status. The cathedral itself was originally a regular-sized church, consecrated in 1826. In the 1930s a scheme was implemented to extend it into a cathedral. The plans were sidelined with the outbreak of the Second World War, and it wasn't until 1977 that it was finally consecrated and raised to cathedral status.
During the walk we see three statues around the town. The first, in order of appearance, is of William Ewart Gladstone, Prime Minister of the UK for twelve years spread over four terms between 1868 and 1894. The second is of William Henry Hornby, Grandmother and Child. The second statue is of William Henry Hornby. Born in Blackburn in 1805, Hornby became the first mayor of the town in 1852. The final statue seen at the end is the Grandmother and Child statue. First unveiled in 1997, it depicts a young boy reaching for his dropped teddy bear as his grandmother is trying to lead him by the other hand.
Blackburn is famously name-checked in The Beatles' 1967 hit - A Day in the Life: I read the news today, oh boy; Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire; And though the holes were rather small; They had to count them all; Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. This is believed to be a reference to a mundane newspaper headline about potholes in Blackburn, although there is speculation about a possible double entendre or two. You be the judge!
Blackburn has been represented in sport by Blackburn Rovers Football Club since their formation in 1875. They famously won the Premier League in the 1994-95 season, becoming the first of only two clubs outside of the big six richest clubs to ever claim the title against the odds. Or big five to be precise - sorry Spurs fans.
