10 Greenest Towns in the UK
What are the greenest towns tin the United Kingdom? As many as 7 of the greenest towns in England are among the 10 greenest towns in the UK. This is not surprising at all. England is only being prevented from being equated with the entire United Kingdom. Thus, for records purposes and the sake of clarity, don’t be surprised to find towns and cities in England dominating listings of bests or worsts of towns and cities in the UK.
Other UK towns that slug it out with the towns in England on this list of the 10 greenest towns in Britain are Falkirk in Scotland, Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, and Bridgend also in Wales. It appears other regions of the United Kingdom have something to learn from England about nature and its preservation.
10. Barnsley, England
The first to be considered among the 10 greenest towns in the UK is Barnsley, a large market town and the fourth-largest settlement in South Yorkshire. This town doesn’t allow inappropriate development within its areas and the conditions in building permits are stricter. By doing this, it has been able to preserve its green space.
The River Dearne Valley and Worsbrough Mill Park and reservoir are just two examples of efforts that the town is making to be one of the greenest towns in both England and the entire United Kingdom. As of 2017, it has some 23,050 hectares of green belt which was first defined in 1979. Its rural landscape features encourage recreation and leisure interests.
9. Stafford, England
Stafford, a county town of Staffordshire in the West Midlands, lying about 24 kilometers north of Wolverhampton, 24 kilometers south of Stoke-on-Trent, and 39 kilometers northwest of Birmingham, is the next of the 10 greenest towns in the UK.
The nature reserves in Stafford include Astonfields Balancing Lakes, a local nature reserve of two lakes constructed for flood protection. There’s also Doxey Marshes, a wet grassland habitat about three kilometers northwest of the town center managed by the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. It’s 150 hectares of nature reserve and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It's home to wading birds and wildfowl. Kingsmead Marsh and Radford Meadows are also green spaces in this town.
8. Falkirk, Scotland
Falkirk, a large town in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. The town which is 37.5 kilometers northwest of Edinburgh and 33 kilometers northeast of Glasgow is doing great in maintaining a wide range of greenspace.
It has an initiative called Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN). The unrivaled network aims at transforming Central Scotland into a place where the environment adds value to the economy and people’s lives are enriched by its quality. GSGN has no peer in Europe as a green space initiative that has been embedded in all relevant plans, policies, and strategies. The result of this is seen in the green revolution in the town.
7. Daventry, England
Yet another town on this list is Daventry, a town that is close to the border with Warwickshire with a population of 25,026 as of 2011. As the sixth-largest town in Northamptonshire, it’s one of the 10 greenest towns in the UK.

Places to see in ( Cobham - UK )
Places to see in ( Cobham - UK )
Cobham is a village in the Borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, England, centred 17 miles south-west of London and 10 miles northeast of Guildford on the River Mole. It has a commercial/services High Street, a significant number of primary and private schools and the Painshill landscape park.
Cobham is an ancient settlement whose origins can be traced back on the ground through Roman times to the Iron Age. It lay within the Elmbridge hundred. Cobham appears in Domesday Book as Covenham and was held by Chertsey Abbey. Historically, Cobham other than outlying farms comprised two developed areas, Street Cobham and Church Cobham. The former lay on the Portsmouth-London Road, and the building now known as the Cobham Exchange was once a coaching inn. The latter grew up around St. Andrew's Church, which dates from the 12th century.
Cobham fits into a triangle between the River Mole to the south, the A3 to the north and a borderline for the most part on the nearside of the (New) London to Guildford railway line to the southeast – directly west of Oxshott. On the southern border is the historic village, Stoke D'Abernon, part of the small post town, which gives its name to the railway station between the two areas on the line mentioned: Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon.
At the heart of Cobham is the Church Cobham Conservation Area, which was designated in 1973 and includes fourteen statutory listed buildings. Amongst these are Pyports, once the home of Vernon Lushington; the picturesque Church Stile House; and two fine houses overlooking the River Mole: Ham Manor and Cedar House, the latter owned by the National Trust.
Across the river from the church into Downside village, the estate of Cobham Park was the home of John Ligonier, 1st Earl Ligonier, who was made Commander-in-Chief of the army in 1757. In 1806 Cobham Park was bought by Harvey Christian Combe a brewer and Lord Mayor of London. The present house was completed in 1873 by his nephew, Charles Combe, to a design by Edward Middleton Barry: it has now been divided into apartments. At the other end of the village, beside the A3, Painshill Park is a fine 18th-century landscape garden, restored from dereliction since 1980. Painshill House dates from the 18th century and has also been divided into apartments.
Two other large houses on the outskirts of Cobham have been taken over by schools: Heywood is now the American Community School, and Burwood House is now Notre Dame School. Chelsea F.C.'s training ground is nearby, close to Cobham and Stoke d'Abernon railway station and some of its more deluxe private homes belong to Chelsea's players. The Fairmile or eastern part of the parish has a high proportions of mansions and gated roads.
The River Mole provides a setting for Cobham's best-known landmark which is the red brick water mill, constructed Late 18C and once part of a much larger complex. Thereafter, the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust was formed as a sister organisation to the Cobham Conservation Group and took over the leasehold. The building was restored to full working order by the volunteers of the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust, and first opened to the public in 1993. Cobham Mill is now open to the public from 2 pm to 5 pm on the second Sunday of each month between April and October, inclusive.
To the north and west of the town is the A3 trunk road, a major arterial route from London to Portsmouth. This road links to the M25 motorway at Junction 10, immediately to the southwest of Cobham. The A307, Portsmouth Road starts in Cobham and runs northwards to the adjoining town of Esher. This is also known as the old A3. The A245 runs through the centre of the town and leads to Leatherhead in the south-east and Byfleet to the west. Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon railway station, opened in 1885, is on the New Guildford Line from London Waterloo.

35028 'Clan Line' On The Atlantic Coast Express 10/08/19
In truly testing conditions, Merchant Navy No.35028 'Clan Line' was at the head of UK Railtours 'Atlantic Coast Express' heading from London Waterloo to Exeter, along the West of England Mainline.
We start this chase at Byfleet & New Haw, where Clan Line had been put onto the slow line for a short section. Shutting off just before the station, the locomotive throws out some heavy smoke just as a heavy shower starts.
Having got ahead, we next see 35028 storming up the 1 in 165 at Grateley, where I was struggling to control the camera in the 50 mph wind.
A quick dash down the A303, we managed to get to Tisbury to see the train roaring through the countryside.
Next came the highlight of the day, at Honiton Tunnel, where the locomotive is seen climbing the 1 in 80 of Honiton bank, managing to top the summit at 27 mph.
After 35028 had been serviced at Exeter it was time to head back to Waterloo. The route back would take the line va Bristol and Westbury, to get back to the West of England line at Salisbury.
Having climbed Whiteball, 35028 is see speeding out of the tunnel in the afternoon sun, having topped the gradient in the tunnel.
With the next planned shot at Upton Scudamore abandoned, due to the field having crops obscuring the view, we found a nice S-bend at Sherrington, were the locomotive is seen heading for the service stop at Salisbury.
For one last shot we headed to Hurstboune Viaduct, where the train is seen making a speedy return to London Waterloo.
This hand been a great run for the locomotive, covering over 400 miles in the day.

Hitchin Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Hertfordshire, and around 30 miles north of central London, is the town of Hitchin.
The first recorded reference of a settlement at Hitchin dates back to the 7th century where it was mentioned in a document alluding to the central place of the Hicce tribe, from which the town's name is believed to have originated.
At the heart of the town is the medieval St Mary's Church, featuring a 12th century tower, while the rest is mostly 14th and 15th centuries. The church is Grade I listed, and is the largest parish church in Hertfordshire.
Hitchin experienced growth due to the wool industry. Its geographical location near the ancient trackway known as the Icknield Way aided in its early development. From the 17th century it became a staging post for those travelling to and from London. Its distance of around 30 miles from the capital was approximate to one day's travel in the early era of the stagecoach. Thus, various timber-framed former coaching inns can be seen around the town.
In 1850 the railway arrived in Hitchin courtesy of the Great Northern Railway. Whilst this effectively brought an end to the coaching inn industry, it ushered in significant growth in the town. Today the station is situated on the East Coast Main Line from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley, and at a junction linking up with the Cambridge Line which runs, as the name suggests, from Hitchin to Cambridge.
Famous people from Hitchin include Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and journalist and TV presenter Jennie Bond.

West Byfleet Station 5/7/20
A visit to the stations on the London Waterloo Suburban lines, all in order to capture and collect images of the current selection of units that operate these lines; mostly these being Class 455 and Class 456 units, both of these units running out the last of the days on the network.
We also capture a range of other units at various locations including Class: 458 and Class 701 units both of these units will also be gone by mid 2021.
Brooklands, Weybridge and Byfleet from the air.
PLEASE NOTE: Best viewed in Full Screen, with most browsers it is possible to 'Freeze the Frame' by hitting the spacebar this way you can study the view. BACKGROUND: On the 29th of September 2012 during Brooklands Museum's first Fly-in for nine years I was offered a chance to mount my Mini Go Pro HD camera on a visiting helicopter operated by Gary Savage Chief Flying Instructor at Heli Air of Fairoaks Airport. The video was very shaky due to it being a standard mounting (stabilised ones cost serious money), but despite this it does give a wonderful view of how the area continues to improve.
Trip Report | South Western Railway | 456 | West Byfleet to Weybridge
In this video, I travel from West Byfleet to Weybridge with South Western Railway on a Class 456. South Western Railway withdrew the 456s from service in January 2022 because of the 701s. South Western's 701s have taken so long to enter service it is a joke. For instance, pigs will fly before the 701s enter service. It is 2023, and the 701s are over 4 years late.
