10 Most Hated Towns in the UK

[@AndreiTupolev]

I really don't know how seriously I can take this. We start with somewhere in Wales no one has ever heard of, but we're expected to believe it's one of the 10 most hated in the UK? "It's hated because it's hated" seems to be the criteria used for most of them.

[@susancraybould3919]

Never heard of Ryle? go back to school and listen in your geography lesson.

[@k.avilla8061]

@@susancraybould3919 Isuggest that you read what Mr Tupolev said, again. He stated " we start with somewhere in Wales no one has ever heard of ". If you watch it again, you will see that he is referring to Llangefni - not Rhyl ( spelt ' Rhyl' , not 'Ryle' ). So my advise to you, before you tell others to " listen in their geography lesson " is : 1. listen properly to the information being imparted. 2. Learn how to spell : the town to which you refer is spelt 'Rhyl', not ' Ryle'. 3. Realise that you are not that smart, go back to school yourself and learn some humility.

Having lived in Didcot for 25 years, including commuting by rail, I don't recognise "aggressive", or " touts and gangs". It's certainly not pretty, just an average town, it's not hated, but I don't suppose that any of the others are either.

Yeah Didcot is a fine place to live, the main complaint would be bad traffic and that fact you need a car to get around most of the time (provided you don’t have access to a bus stop). Pretty standard to be honest.

Slough is a weird one.

It doesn't help that large parts of West London aren't very nice either, so all you see from the train is various crappy places.

[@bruceanderton1518]

Most hated by whom, though? And can you substantiate this?

[@expressoevangelism80]

I was born and brought up in Luton, from ‘54. It was and still absolutely awful. In recent years I drew a close 2nd worst, when I had to stay in Walsall for a few years. It is completely cultureless. Beer guts, tattoos and filthy litter are rank throughout the area. There is a very interesting art gallery in the town, but it is like giving strawberries to donkeys.

I live near Luton and certain parts of it are a dump.I know a police officer who won't allow his teenage daughters to visit the Arndale Centre,even if he accompanies them.( remember Rochdale,Rotherham and so on) We first moved here in 1979 when the shopping centre was mostly used by smartly dressed, polite,well behaved people.Unfortunately 40 years of unchecked immigration has meant the more ambitious all moved out in disgust. The result is a mess of different people and most of them don't make an attempt at integrating into our ways.Parts of it are nice,but suffer from being close to the flight path of Luton Airport.

[@johnappleby405]

I spent a night in Luton a few months ago. The centre was a shock!

[@Nooziterp1]

I was expecting Rhyl to be on the list. My Mum and Dad moved there 40 years ago and it was a decent seaside town. Since then it has become more and more of a dump. The suburbs are OK but the town centre is a total dump.

If you ignore the endless brexit truck jams and some of the grottier housing estates, Dover's alright, there's plenty of nice things to see and do in the town (one of the best historic castles in the UK, for example); some nice parks (like Kearsney Abbey and the lakes) it's got a safe swimming beach, it's got amazing clifftop walks with great views over to France and even a reasonable selection of shops in the town centre and excellent public transport links. There are a lot worse places in Britain than Dover, believe me!

Rhyl is 3???? I have lived here since 2001 and I would have put it at 1!!!!! It's on a downward slope and it's nowhere near the bottom yet

[@ol1ver49]

Even more ridiculous than the "Most Loved Towns" list, which included such tedious places as Wilmslow and Altrincham. I wouldn't argue with such "usual suspects" as Luton and Rhyl, and I don't know Gravesend, but I don't recognise Llangefni, Didcot or Aylesbury from the descriptions. Paisley is effectively a Glasgow suburb, so looks to that city for things to do. Llangefni only has 5000 people, for chrissake, so it's not going to have buzzing nightlife. Didcot is looked down on by the snobs in the rest of Oxon and Berks because it's working class, but I've waited ages at the station and not been approached by muggers, beggars or the like. Aylesbury is quite historic. These towns may be a bit dull, but I'd rather live in any of them rather than the endless suburban tedium of Wilmslow or Altrincham.

[@jamesmorris3123]

Gravesend has always been a dismal area for many years. It's name was derived from the Great Plague where thousands of the dead were buried there from London, hence Graves end. Also Princess Pocahontas is buried there. And how come Croydon wasn't included, that town tops my list as dodgy, full of immigrants, and remember that African who burnt down that very old furniture shop? why did he do that?

[@frglee]

I'd take all these places being 'the worst' with a large pinch of salt. I remember back in the 90s, Hythe, a small, rather pretty and inoffensive little town in Kent getting the 'worst place to live in Britain' sobriquet after a public survey. Probably the exact opposite is nearer the truth. I suspect local schoolkids had voted en masse to disrupt the survey!

I've been to Newport and some of the Valley towns - even those felt like Prague and Vienna compared to Holyhead. Holyhead is a whole different beast.

[@davidross2379]

Holyhead is my mother's hometown and as a child I enjoyed our regular visits there but sadly it has indeed slipped into a sad and depressing place. I think the burghers missed a trick as it did have potential to become a fine holiday destination if marketed well. It also suffered when the new ferry port came into being as travellers to/from Ireland no longer visit the town in the numbers they once did.

Admittedly it's an unremarkable town, but its located in lovely countryside, the delightful Red Wharf bay is within walking distance, it has its own nature reserve, crime is low and its quiet. Nearly everyone who lives on Anglesey would rate Holyhead as the worst town on that island. Admittedly Rhyl is a dive, but hardly No. 3 in the UK. Why are dives like Strood, Whitstable, Cleveland, Hull, Blackpool, Jaywick, Burnley, Blackburn, Bradford, Grimsby, Lowestoft, Barrow-In-Furness, ... on this list?

The main problem with Ipswich is that it does occasionally get dull and a bit repetitive, the town centre needs better shops, and more interesting places can be an expensive ballache to get to. But it's certainly not a bad town at all. Good people who try very hard and there's plenty happening if you know where to look. I'd say it got better during the time I lived there. Thetford, King's Lynn, Haverhill, Great Yarmouth - those are shiteholes.
