Which historic British market town would you most love to spend a weekend exploring?
Britain's market towns each carry centuries of character, from cobbled squares to timbered inns. Rank them by where you'd genuinely want to wander with a map and a warm coat.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Ludlow, Shropshire
Often called one of England's most beautiful towns, Ludlow pairs a hilltop castle with independent butchers, bookshops and Georgian townhouses. A serious contender for anyone who loves history you can taste.
B
Stamford, Lincolnshire
Stamford's limestone streets have starred in countless period dramas for good reason. Five medieval churches, elegant Georgian frontages and Burghley House on the doorstep.
C
Hay-on-Wye, Powys
A tiny border town transformed by its dozens of second-hand bookshops and its famous literary festival. Ruined castle, riverside walks and the Black Mountains beyond.
D
Alnwick, Northumberland
Home to the Percy family for 700 years, Alnwick offers a working castle, a treehouse restaurant and a proper Northumbrian high street. History with genuine weight.
E
Totnes, Devon
An ancient Saxon burh turned hippie haven, Totnes climbs from the River Dart to a ruined motte-and-bailey castle. Independent shops and an unmistakable West Country character.
