The UK’s ‘prettiest village’

‘The prettiest village in England’

Was uploading some images for a Wiltshire village called Castle Combe and noticed that it styled itself as ‘the prettiest village in England’.

It’s pretty, extremely pretty but then there are Dunster in Somerset or Bibury in Gloucestershire or Beddgelert in Gwynedd or Elgol on Skye.  If you bump into this post as the years roll on, can you pls add yours or @picturetheuk on Twitter with your suggestions or contact me with whatever bit of technology we’re all using at that point.  Thanks.  (ps, if you Tweet etc I’ll copy and paste in comments below).

tannwick@picturetheuk ….Titterstone Clee near Ludlow also has some good areas – quite industrial, as is Snailbeach lead mine.

HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick @picturetheuk Excuse the interrupt Clun Valley, Clee & Ludlow from Whitcliffe Common, Hopton Castle, Clun Castle

HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick Actually the last time I couldn’t stop wowing was when we drove up to Springhill Farm on Offas Dyke past Clun

HoptonHouseBnB@tannwick Have to say that driving to & from Ludlow this evening was absolutely breathtaking. Clee on the way there & on the way back…

tannwick@picturetheuk Moreton Corbett Castle outside Shawbury is good also (have to give my local fave?) together with Grinshill & The Wrekin

tannwickRT @picturetheuk @cameraboy56: @tannwick Try the Ironbridge area some good shots to be had around there..< Very true!
