Favourite small town or village

Thirsk, North Yorkshire or Criccieth in Wales.

Narberth, Wales. Lovely individual shops.

Arnside in Cumbria is a very pretty village by the River Kent.
We just like to visit it for the views and the climb up to Arnside Knott, but I like it even better since I learned about its history on Villages by the Sea presented by Archaeologist Ben Robinson.

Correct initial spelling, its Youlgrave not greve.

Youlgreve in the Derbyshire Dales.

In a most - if not the most lovely part of the Derbyshire Dales, small, but vibrant culturally as well as traditional farming country. There are also prehistoric evidences of settlements and standing stones.

I'll never forget their well dressing at the end of Covid.

It was internationally culturally inclined (as well as the usual brass band and dancing.

Lewes also famous for hosting Thomas Paine at The White Hart - recently renovated - who helped start the American revolt against the British and who wrote amongst other stuff “z
The Rights of Man”

Steyning has and has had a number of celebrities living there. Probably the most famous was Joan Plowright and Lawrence Olivier. The children’s author Julia Donaldson lives there now.

Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds, also there Bourton on the Water and Burford.
Lacock in Wiltshire, they do a lot of period films there.
Lymington in the New Forest
Stamford in Lincolnshire

Yes, Lympstone is lovely, but don’t tell everyone!!

So many gorgeous places right here in our own country.
I must add Hebden Bridge and Skipton.

Kirkby lonsdale ....an hour from where I live ....we camp there 4 to 5 times every summer.....my happy place ....so beautiful

Beverley in East Yorkshire. Two beautiful churches and wonderful shops.

Solva, West Wales. Full of happy memories for me.

Conwy North Wales

Ogmore by Sea in the Vale of Glamorgan. Beautiful beach. We haven't been for a year or two so it's about time we returned.

Oakham, Rutland and Tenterden, Kent

Another vote for Knaresborough. It’s just as fancyflowers described. It’s somewhere I think I could live.

Castle Combe, Wiltshire.

So many! I love Narberth, and Lacock is picture postcard perfect. Stamford, and Corfe Castle. We are lucky to have so many lovely places.

Knaresborough in North Yorkshire is such a pretty town. Independent shops, a fantastic viaduct over the river and a great weekly market.

Oh good. My eldest GD gets married there next May.

How lovely! I hope she has a wonderful wedding!

St Andrews, in Fife or Dollar in Clackmannanshire.

I like Wimborne in Dorset. It has an interesting square, quaint side streets, a beautiful minster church with centuries of history and buses from the square can take you all over the county.

I’d love to live in Berwick. It’s a really up and coming place and the people are so friendly. It will be even better when the new cinema/theatre/arts centre is built. Parking is free and it’s on a mainline that goes to London and Edinburgh. I’ve always wanted to go to Lewes but annoyingly when we stayed in that area many years ago for some reason we didn’t visit it.

Lympstone in Devon.

Padstow in Cornwall. I'm a bit of a foodie, but it's also great for dog walks on the beach and cycling. October half term can't come soon enough.
I remember Saundersfoot as being nice.
