UK's most underrated City's/towns/villages

I'm not sure if I'd consider them all overrated underrated, but I've a lot of love for the north east coast run.

Amble, Beadnell, Seahouses, Bamburgh etc, and the surrounding areas of course. I'd happily retire to Bamburgh given the chance, and I spent many a year travelling around the other areas doing a spot of fishing and hiking. Going out on the boats to see the Farne Islands/Lindisfarne too, great for wildlife lovers and there's plenty of history on top, I'm tempted to spend a week or two up that way this summer tbh.

Those aside, Jedburgh is a lovely little town/village that I'd recommend to anyone passing through the area.

Edit: typo lol

I would never had said Lincoln is underrated myself, lots of people I know talk about visiting or even living there, we almost moved to Lincolnshire last year, a village called Surfleet but couldn’t find the right home and ended up over the border in Cambridgeshire.

The entire Lincolnshire to Cambridgeshire corridor has some beautiful villages.

Really liked St Neots when I lived there for a short while. Left a good impression, and had my family not have been based in Sussex and Hants, I’d have moved back long term.


Storrington is lovely. Decent commute times to Brighton and Horsham but still quaint.


Visited Buckingham as well a few years ago. Really liked it and never really heard anyone talk about it before
 
Let me say that Kettering, Northamptonshire can never be under rated due to its complete lack of anything that resembles a town center.

I have to say that I think York is underrated. Although I was last there about 10 years ago and the prices just to enter York Minster were stifling.
 
I wish people stopped mentioning places up North.

There's nothing to see, I wouldn't bother. Really, it's awful. We're an unfriendly bunch too and it's all concrete...
