10 Best Small Towns to Live in England

[@daengzool6023]

As a Malaysian mature student who studied in UK, I use to live in Lewes, East Sussex. Best small town to live in. Other small towns I visited were, Rye, Littlehampton, Arundel, Burgess Hill and Alfriston.

[@daengzool6023]

Lewis is like a second home to me. Miss the place. Been there twice ever since. Children went to schools there. I am now a pensioner, my children are working as a Pharmacist, Automation technician and a Geologist. Cheers.

[@stillben]

you moved around a lot!

[@daengzool6023]

@@stillben make use of my time there in UK. Went as far north as Inverness and St Andrews, East to York and Margate, West to Portsmouth (gunwaff bay), Southampton, Cardiff, Bath. Love Beachy Head and seven sisters in Eastbourne. Visited Lochness and lochlamond, sterling, william wallace monument and lovely lake district. Cheers

I see there's a Boots drugstore . There was one in my Small town as well, that was about 30 years ago and the town was Tsawwassen Bc 🇨🇦 the town's still there but the store ... it closed & I never saw another, but there it is in Frome . So now I know .

[@kevingill648]

Agree with some on this list! Henley On Thames, Bakewell, Warwick, but in my opinion Keswick in The Lake District is the best of all. Beautifully clean and has everything you need, just a few minutes walk from the town centre and your at Derwent water with stunning scenery. Love it and have great memories.

Yes it is a nice place. However, you are advised to wear a Stab Vest...

This should be renamed as the 10 most expensive towns in England. Nearly all of them have hugely unaffordable houses, enormous rent levels and are largely staunch Conservative.

[@four4eyes]

Conservative no more, lol .

[@simonsackett]

You certainly choose some bizarre pictures to demonstrate a town's beauty! Here's a lovely branch of Boots, and here's a gorgeous BT building...

[@terp8373]

Spent one day in Rye as a tourist about a year ago, and I kept thinking how much I would love to live there.

[@mikegreen6113]

Amazing to see those rows of houses in the poorest areas nearly all had a Sky dish!

[@tancreddehauteville764]

All these towns are VERY expensive and not free from crime. Even the poshest towns have council estates.

[@markdennis930]

Worcester. Yes, it is a city, however, it is small. Charming place, lots of important history, glorious countryside.

[@Joanna-il2ur]

This is a mishmash of villages (Painswick) to tourist towns (most of the rest). Some are quite large, such as Sevenoaks. But Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk is excellent. In the same county, Woodbridge (home of Sutton Hoo) is fab. Then you could have Clare, Long Melton, Sudbury, Saxmundham, and Kersey. My home county, Suffolk, has loads of beautiful places. I was hoping for something insightful but no. Where were Ely, Henley in Arden, Stratford on Avon, Chester, Harrogate, Wye, and a host of excellent places?

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Exactly - these are just very expensive places. I live near both Henley and Windsor and both have their fair share of trouble after dark.

[@mikepowell2776]

Whilst I agree that your choices are pleasant enough there are many other pleasant small towns. I wonder what standard parameters you use to make your assessments.

[@GBPaddling]

Jaywick surely?

[@sandrafrancis3631]

Nothing much to do in Rye and too quiet for some. IMO Lewes would be much better, but very expensive! I'm thinking of moving there, or possibly Tunbridge Wells which is cheaper.

[@billywindsock9597]

Epping? Where the quality of the local youths’ knives is unsurpassed.

[@cherchezlavache5183]

My vote would be Sheringham, Norfolk!🥂

[@KCocteau15]

What about Surrey? Seems pleasant for country living, although I’ve never been.

[@aversivespider]

Surrey's a county, not a town.

[@perryhunt2909]

Skipton in North Yorkshire is beautiful.

Bakewell literally the best name omg

[@emlym8355]

What about clitheroe

[@craighobbs3708]

Bakewell hands down! -

[@richardfreeston3611]

too southern centric - bakewell about as far north as it gets!

Sounds good, especially if these places remain refugee free.

[@derekcummins9088]

Not a single town in the North. No York, kendal or Alnwick

This video (and many more on this channel) could be half the length if you edited out all the unnecessary repetitive narration.

[@davidcastle5366]

I can never tell if these videos are satire or just bollocks.

[@ernestinehemingway7799]

or both !

[@georgedowns4034]

This video is neither!

[@paulthompson8996]

Probably the latter. At least Swindon didn't come top, probably too big, but it normally wins from these video producers, who either come from Swindon or (more likely) are sponsored by Swindon town council.
