Odd to omit Liverpool, which has, the most impressive neoclassical buildings in scale outside of London.
I'm in kent 😅.it has some stunning areas we are known as the Garden of England . We have villages , beaches , castles , countryside etc . But still love ya Connor . 😊
One of the worst videos I've seen.
The Learning Canteen. Avoid. They're just hopeless.
I don't think these images do anything to advertise the attractions in the majority of these cities, by contrast to the previous video focussing on York which immediately made me want to make a trip there. Also York was missing from the list.
Hi the clip of Edinburgh actually features church street Lancaster!!! The Bell Italian restaurant looking up towards the priory and castle Lancaster roman roots and Norman Castle that is in England who put this together major fail!
This is a very strange list! There are some glaring omissions (York, Lincoln, Durham, Chester) in favour of cities which even their mother wouldn't call beautiful.
I try to be patient, but I find the way this reviewer constantly becomes distracted by minutia and frequently digressess. I guess he is too observant and questioning. I suppose it's not always possible to research your subject beforehand.
Definitely a personal selection. They wouldn't be mine !
Half the photos don't match up. Junk video
That is a really strange list…! I can understand the desire to include a Northern Irish entry, but, Belfast? It has gained some intersting attractions in recent years, but beautiful, it is not! I have to say that, this channel drives me nuts, as there's absolutely no coordination between the script and the pictures – he tells you about one thing and shows you another, all the time! The Belfast thing also illustrates how poor the research is, as (London)Derry is the most beautiful walled city that is relatively little known, and I'd have thought the obvious Northern Irish city to feature on this video!
Yes Connor, you have to come to Scotland, and allow us to show you all the best places – which aren't necessarily where all the tourist guides suggest. Plus, I'm fortunate enough to live in Edinburgh, so you could use my home as a base if you want to! I think I know what you're driving at regarding Southern England: most of the cities are fairly uniform. Part of the reason for this is that many were severely bombed during WW2 and there was an almost identikit post-war rebuilding model. Canterbury is included here, but you're right about the tour guides all neglecting Eastern England. Norwich is a very attractive cathedral city, as is Lincoln, Ely and the very historic Colchester, to name just a few. Bristol always tends to be overshadowed by Bath – yet they're only 12 miles apart and perfectly easy to do in two or three days, while the likes of Gloucester, Worcester, Hereford and Chester also tend to be neglected, which is a shame as, being off the main tourist tracks they are a lot less busy and more natural, if you get my drift. The other major omissions from this list are York, Durham, Winchester and Glasgow. And London, come to think of it! There are also many towns and places that aren't cities that are well worth visiting: Great Malvern, Colebrookdale, Matlock, Harrogate, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blackpool, Dunblane and St Andrews all sporing to mind, for instance.
Manchester is another place where beauty isn't the first quality that springs to mind. It's very interesting, for sure; and has a very modern central area – largely thanks to the I.R.A. actually; and there are some lovely parts in the suburbs – but compared to the likes of Edinburgh, Glasgow, York and London, there's a barely a tree comes into sight until you're two miles out into the suburbs.
Kent is called the ‘Garden of England’ and has some gorgeous countryside and historic carvings. Hampshire is another gorgeous county with places like Stonehenge and Salisbury. Surrey is my favourite (born there) with the amount of woodland and cities like Camberley and Woking. To be honest, ‘best’ city is so subjective and there are some big towns that are just as gorgeous.
WTF? "The academic aura has not taken the shine out of the various cultural attractions" [oxford] What a silly thing to say. It's like "Hey all you ignorant numpties who might feel dead ignorant in a University town, don't worry, we lock up all the academics in their Halls so they don't interfere with the cultural attractions." The fricken "cultural attractions" all came about BECAUSE it's a University town. Why would anyone think a place would be boring because of that? Way to go to keep on the old "Town & Gown" rivalry.
I'm sorry if this sounds a little demented, but it was such a condescending assumption that people wouldn't want to go there because of the 'academic aura' . Ye gods!!!
No Chester or York?? I do not endorse this list whatsoever
Manchester is many things, but not beautiful LOL!
Worst AI generated voice over I've ever heard. The script is laughable.
Is anyone ever going to talk about the city of Lincoln? Englands best kept secret.
I don't think you are wrong about the cities in East Anglia (Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk) but there are fewer cities in these counties than many others. (According to ChatGPT 4,2 and 3 respectively.) Unfortunately,' in my opinion, some of these might not be considered beautiful except for Norwich. I suggest you check out Norwich to see if you agree. Some of the street names are very interesting such as Rampant Horse Street. East Anglia is still quite rural. Check out the Norfolk Broads if you haven't already done so.
They love these random city lists, but there are plenty of towns and villages that I would rather visit!
I actually don't think this is a very good list.
You forgot Bristol & York
Lincoln, York, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Liverpool, Derby, Carlisle, Norwich, Chester, Nottingham, Durham, Lichfield, Birmingham, Glasgow, Bristol, Aberdeen, Swansea, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Dundee, Lancaster, Wrexham, Gloucester and so many other cities that are either majority beautiful or have some few stunning buildings and parks to be classed as beautiful. The video you are reacting to, in my opinion, is rubbish – especially when it left out some of THE most beautiful cities in the UK. Thanks for the reactions Connor, keep them coming 😊
See the link for mushy peas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushy_peas
i couldn't watch this past cardiff, i had the chance to work in cardiff, i didn't take the job
This is a terrible video. He shows a row of council houses with roadworks in Inverness. Cardiff looks pretty ordinary.
I think this video is a joke…….and did a foreigner write the commentary??? 🤨😂
Rarely do two people fully agree on theses kind of listings. A national poll, conducted by–say, a newspaper, might get closer, but it is usually onlly a guide, from which you may perhaps seek more information, to arrive at your own personal choice, then go and visit.
As others have said the pictures often have no correlation to the city being discussed and the information is wrong (Belfast is not now nor has it ever been the capital of Ireland – only Northern Ireland). This is what you get when you use AI instead of your brain and do some actual research yourself. We’re raising idiots who are unable to think for themselves.
Pedestrianised areas
The Narrator sounds A.I …Not you Mcjibbin but it is off-putting.
Chester is good.
This video is utter garbage. The appalling commentary bears no relationship to the images being shown and they themselves are a very poor representation of the cities listed. Half of the list would not be included in any serious summary of the U.K.'s finest cities.
Cambridge is shit: don't bother going there. Oxford is far superior. Cambridge University was founded after a big dispute in Oxford about the murder of a prostitute. A number of dons (and their students) decamped to the bogs of Cambridgeshire from Oxford in protest in 1209.
Could have used a rather more attractive selection of photos to illustrate the point here, I think! Another problem with this 'wide spectrum' approach (countryside, towns and cities, culture etc etc) is that it offers little chance to dwell upon and appreciate the individual colours of your subject. Just a thought!
Edinburgh should be #1.
What an odd list.Many of the Cities listed are interesting places with great night life, restaurants, historic buildings but to list them as the most beautiful erm.,no Manchester or Cardiff would never make that top 10.
Wait – where's York in the list? Or London, for that matter… Those southeast counties have their own type of beauty. Kent, Sussex and Hampshire have lovely rolling countryside and stunning chalk cliffs, and Norfolk and northern Suffolk have a vast area of low-lying land dotted with waterways known as "the Broads". Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city. PS – Harvard 1636, Oxford 1096, so it's only older by half a millennium!
Unfortunately, a lot of the US was built around the Car, as the Car Companies built a lot of the roads and gave space to make sure everyone could have space to own a Car. Great marketing strategy.
Although im from Edinburgh theres too little in this video to do the breadth of the UKs beauty justice. You'd be best placed looking at each individual nation of the UK to do them true justice
