I don't understand this thread. We live in a country with such a rich history and varied geography that I'd wager every town maligned in these posts has something beautiful and unique.
When we speak of a town being '****' really what we're talking about is a lack of money, investment and opportunity. The town itself might have a lot to offer.
I'm fortunate enough to have travelled a lot round the UK and I've been to many of the places listed here. Let me pick a few to make my point.
Morecambe - there is little more stunning than Morecambe bay on a bright, clear day with views out to the hills and mountains of the lake district.
Bolton - Le Mans Crescent, a classical revival beauty
Holyhead - a short walk out of town takes you to the clifftop walks of Breakwater Country Park. Walk a bit further and climb Holyhead mountain.
Bradford - the most amazing town hall with its Venetian gothic clock tower.
If you think somewhere's a shithole, it's because you haven't looked hard enough.
