Thank you it is really annoying hearing Frome pronounced wrong. My daughter & ex wife still live there. I spent most of my life living there & I went to school there. Being on these best of lists has a negative outcome. Very few people living in Frome can afford to buy a house or afford rents in the town since coming top in the Times list of best towns in UK
Stamford is an expensive town to live in for the most part, I spent time here growing up, and it had more to it than the very small town near where I lived. Stamford has some great schools, a nice mix of shops, plenty of places to eat, the beautiful Burghley house with deers in the grounds that you can go for a walk for free and it has every day amenities. I love Stamford and its charms although there are those who cause mindless yobbish crime around the park a lot.
A couple of glaring errors, Hart is not a town, it is a local government district. The main town of this district is Fleet. Secondly your shots of Maldon include pics of Maldon Victoria which is in Australia, quite a way from Essex.
I once drove lorries , and delivered mainland Britain , I was very impressed with Wigan , not really expecting much beforehand , the streets were lovely and clean and there were flowers everywhere , I thought to myself that I bet this is a town that everyone is proud of !
@@jordandurham8951 I retired there but still did a part tome job as escort for disabled children and summer time with visitors did not bother me at all,
Your video would be miles better if you walked around these places and reviewed them personally and took all your own still photographs. And, if you chatted the locals, they would tell you that Frome is pronounced 'froom'.
My dad was an International student from South East Asia at a University in Sussex. We use to live in Lewes which to us is the best town to live and we considered our second home. Not far from brighton, has a direct train to London and Eastbourne. Good schools and college. Has a Norman castle. Visit it twice from home. Would like to visit friends there again in the near future. Cheers.
Yeah, good old days. Every weekend we would visit other towns like littlehampton, worthing, rye, eastbourne, arundel, crawley, pavency, alfriston etc. We would take walks at cukemere haven and beachy head to see the seven sisters, the longman of Wilmington and devils dyke. Would like visit Lewes again in the near future. Cheers.
@@dandellionsy6537 had a wonderful time in Sussex. Had the best fish and chips in Littlehampton (also bought body shop ptoducts). Pick you own strawberries near worthing. Went to Pooh Land in Hartfield where Christopher Robbins used to live, went to that shop and bridge where we threw sticks in the stream. Took the old bluebell steam engine train near East Grinstead. Cherish the memories. Cheers.
Interesting Post, but some of the photos of Maldon you used are of Maldon in Victoria, Australia, the Timber and Hardware Store, Railway Station and a couple more, the cars and architecture are different.
Keswick in The Lake District is in my opinion is the best Town in England! beautifully clean and it has everything you need with a very short walk to Derwent Water. Love the place and have great memories.
Slightly confused by the picture of Gold Hill in our nearby town of Shaftesbury as the opening thumbnail when Shaftesbury doesn't get mentioned in the list. Also Frome is pronounced 'froom'. Entertaining enough though...
My Top 10 (not in order) 1) Belper 2) Brixham 3) Bakewell 4) Dawlish Warren 5) Skipton 6) Alnwick 7) Salcombe 8) St Ives Don't know about the last two so I'll add both Shaldon and Kingswear.
Hart is not a town just an area in North Hampshire all the pictures are of Fleet which until 1996 was a Quaker town with only a pub at each end of its very long high street, since then many new establishments have opened not always in the towns best interest.
I've walked through shopping malls with more residential appeal than Stroud. I don't know how to take these videos but Stroud is on the level Tenby, Newquay and Leamington Spa at the very best. It's the kind of place you when get introduced to someone's wife and sister, there's only one person standing there. I mean architecturally it has the charm of a sweet your grandma 'discovers' in her handbag. They won't let you into the local Tesco if you're not wearing your pajamas. For the love of God.
I used to live in a village between Reading and Wokingham. I liked going to Wokingham, but not Reading. I did not like Woking in Surrey though, as I went to college there, but Wokingham, in Berkshire was very nice.
interesting to see in most of the best towns, residents are quite happy to block the pavements with their cars, and local authorities are happy to let them do it...
I was surprised to see the silver Holden Commodore sedan parked behind the blue Ford Falcon sedan in the street of Maldon ( at the 1:24 mark ) as they are both Australian cars, I think you have somehow got images from a town with the same name in the state of Victoria , Australia
Replying about your video about the 10 worst places to live in England. I don't disagree but I think the people who gave you the benefit of their fist hnd information could be having a laugh at your expense as they didn't tell you how to pronounce the names correctly. . You managed to pronounce London correctly but after that you failed miserably. Hysterical..
Frome in Somerset is pronounced "Froome", from the Celtic "Frama" which means "fair, fair or brisk", see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uYNzqgU7na4.html
All these locations are basically 'tourist towns' with the residents being required to well off, all 'professionals' in some 'service industry capacity, banking, medical or legal.
Exeter is very nice, but is a city so you need to look for the video on best cities, not towns (though for some reason it was left out while Wolverhampton was included - can't understand that!)
As a former resident of Stroud, I wouldn’t put it at the top spot, some of the villages in the surrounding hills are well sought after but the town itself is wildly overrated.
Curious that among all the gorgeous images, Wokingham is represented entirely by mid-twentieth century suburban roads that could be anywhere in England. "Hart" i.e. Fleet, really is as dull as it looks here, but not the town centre of Wokingham.
There's a posh town celebrated its 400 anniversary many years ago. It has Fenwick and ..... stores selling stuff 4x more expensive than M and S, and loads of top grammar and private schools. It has 250 acres of Commons boundary the town. It was the top 3 in the TV series location location location. It was once mentioned by a minister when he said can't compared to this town when hardly anyone on Sundays. I would not disclose cos the SE News weather somehow not shown on the map. Drivers here were courteous and we greet each other at the empty parks.
I want to go wherever Erwin Saunders is because he's the most charismatic human I've ever seen other than Bill nighy, and I don't care if that's his real name, or if his videos are real, I would happily just watch him wander around 😍🕊🦋💞 that's what I want from a place to live. The people not the prestige ✌.
Maldon unfortunately be going down I’m afraid way to many houses being built absolute 1000s every year The bypass is now just a road with houses both sides
hello, i'm Jorge, a pilot from Lima peru, working with LATAM airline. i came across your page here through the utube suggestion for me so i thought to write to you. where are you from? Write me when you can and do have a nice day and may God bless you.
Stroud - spot on with the chavs on the bikes. It's a town of two halves. You have the well to do up at Rodborough and Minchinhampton, and all the of the council estates on Slad road. Traffic is a nightmare and it's a confluence of 4 major roads. Yes it does have a hippy subculture to it and scenic views, but it's overpriced and overrated.

You're really not very good at pronouncing English place names, are you? In another video we had 'Welwyn' pronounced 'Well-win'. And here you pronounce 'Frome' as 'Froam', when it is in fact pronounced 'Froom'. You also call Wokingham a city, which is a bit of a laugh.
