What Makes a Town Beautiful Anyway?

In this age of AI masquerading as humans, I thought I'd address the question of what makes a town or city beautiful. This was also spurred on by a dubious article which came out recently which answers it in the most robotic way imaginable.
As somebody who has explored over 400 towns in Great Britain, I present to you my answer, which is completely devoid of ChatGPT word salads, but instead consists entirely of lived experiences.
This ties into the goal of the channel itself, which is to find THE most beautiful town in the country. I've already begun making videos judging the prettiest towns in each county. You can check out the playlist here: • Prettiest Towns in the...

Well cared for historic buildings, maintaining authentic materials. For example, no upvc or aluminium windows in domestic buildings. Plus interesting topography, cleanliness, views of natural landscapes and seascapes. Lack of intrusive signage and wire runs. Little traffic.

Just stumbled across your videos. I to are touring town to town when I get a chance. I completely agree with every word you said in this video.

Alex, I have always considered you an informed observer but now I must add philosopher to your credentials. BRAVO.

@AlexinGreatBritain 8 месяцев назад

Thank you! Although in a way I reckon we're all philosophers - I think therefore I am, and all that!

Very well said. Brought tears to my eyes.

This is precisely the heart and soul of why I treasure history and ancient architecture. Genuinely you brought a tear to my eye. These days buildings are bland, cheaply constructed, music has had its soul auto tuned out of it, and cars are overly plastic rolling computers.

@AlexinGreatBritain 2 месяца назад

That's kind of you to say, thanks! And I agree, particularly about music. Thank goodness for recordings from certain past decades, at least!

The individuality of towns has lessened greatly in my life time. I have relatives who travelled in the pre-motorway world, and still orientate other people's journeys by A-roads and market towns long since bypassed. A mental map of chequered pre-Worboys road signs and municipally planted roundabouts, where Scotch Corner, the East Lancs, Gailey and Western Avenue still have currency. Most attractive British towns are better known as somewhere else in the motion picture world. We have become a backdrop.

I had a déjà vu moment at 4:29. It feels so familiar. Could you please tell me what town that is?

@AlexinGreatBritain 7 месяцев назад

Of course, it's Amersham.

@florinsimion6466 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. I was there about 10 years ago. I remember that across the road, there are some houses with very small doors. :) It's a lovely part of the country. Thanks for the video.
