Places You Wouldn't Want To Live in The U.K.
When most people imagine the United Kingdom, they think of London, wry humor and polite people. It might seem unthinkable that Great Britain has some real dung piles among its treasures but these 5 cities will have you wondering why there is a “Great” in front of “Britain”.
At number 5. Sandwell
The available jobs in this West Midlands town are so poorly paid that the average resident has zero disposable income. The good news for locals is that Sandwell has a pretty high mortality rate, so they don’t have to suffer for very long.
At Number 4. Gwent Valleys
No matter which metric you choose to measure Gwent Valleys scores poorly. Crime? Check. Poor healthcare? Check. A-hole teenagers all around? Oh yeah. In a country that’s filled with coastline and rolling hills, Gwent Valleys has none of that. It’s just the worst.
At Number 3. High Wycombe
Petty crime and drug use are present; as is a low employment rate. The little money High Wycombe does have it spends on the schools which is great. Of course, that doesn’t do the average tourist any good.
At Number 2. Southampton
Southampton is simply filled with half-destroyed buildings blotting the landscape. To be fair, the place was bombed in World War II. That is a pretty solid excuse, but on the other hand, they’ve had the better part of eighty years to get the place back in order …
And at number 1. Morecambe
In the 1930s, luminaries like Coco Chanel used to hang out in Morecambe These days, Morecambe is more known for its dilapidation. The coastline outside the city is stunning, but if you’re being completely honest, coasts aren’t exactly a point of pride, and neither is Morecambe.
Where do you think the worst place in Great Britain is?

UNTOUCHED ABANDONED MANSION, ENGLAND
Eyup eyup, this week we're at an amazing almost untouched abandoned mansion in the rolling hills of England. Usually these places get pretty trashed pretty quick but this one was in amazing condition.

Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned buildings, creepy theme parks, military bases, and underground vaults containing the remnants of a by gone era. And with a bit of comedy and humour chucked in there too, can't be too serious about these things.
We're not serious urban explorers, we just love the adventure.
Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Abandoned places are dangerous. Adventures are fun.

Hampton Beach's Island Path - New Hampshire Coastline Bike Tour - Amazing Views - Seacoast Nation NH
Beautiful morning ride along Hampton Beach's Island Path. If you've never been on this road, it is pretty awesome to behold in person. It stretches out between the marsh before coming to a dead end that is so pretty. This is New Hampshire, kids! (Oh, and I threw in a ride down Hampton Beach proper, too!

Si quieres conocer Southampton, la ciudad medieval y portuaria que vio partir el Titanic, e incluso trabajar y vivir en ella no te pierdas este vídeo.
Antes de hacer turismo en Southampton y adentrarte en su mapa tienes que saber que no es solamente una ciudad portuaria cualquiera, ya que cuenta con el puerto de mercancías más grande del Canal de la Mancha y es desde donde parten la mayor parte de los cruceros de Inglaterra hacia el mundo, como así lo hizo el Titanic, aunque esta historia desgraciadamente no tuvo un final feliz.
Southampton City se encuentra en el sur de Inglaterra, y es una joya que jugó un papel importante en la historia de toda la Gran Bretaña. Muchas personas vienen a hacer Turismo a Southampton para conocer incluso su mítico club Southampton Fc y el precioso St. Mary’s stadium.
Dato curioso, antes de presentarte los puntos turísticos de Soton es que por el Canal de Shinnecock pasan todas las embarcaciones y aeronaves que vienen desde el Océano Atlántico. Es por ello que es una de las ciudades con más historia de la construcción naval en la Great Uk Britain.
La ciudad es preciosa, y cuenta con muchos parques, como el Southampton Common, y si quieres saber qué significa esta ciudad para un español o hispanohablante simplemente se lo tienes que preguntar a los más de 1000 españoles y latinos que viven en Southampton.
Sus tradicionales calles antiguas con casas centenarias y hoteles y jardines bien cuidados te enamorarán.
Mejores cosas que hacer en Southampton y puntos turísticos:
-El Bargate (Puerta medieval de entrada a la ciudad)
-Casa Museo Tudor (Tudor House)
-Museo del Titanic (Museum)
-Murallas de Southampton (City Walls)
-Memorial del Titanic
-Museo Marítimo de Southampton
-Teatro Mayflower (Theatre)
-Estadio St.Mary’s (St. Mary’s Stadium)
-Southampton University
Antes de adentrarte en el vídeo decirte que gran parte de los edificios históricos de la ciudad fueron destruidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en cambio, todavía se conservan muchos intactos como la Iglesia de St. Michaels, algo que te explico en este video sobre los bombardeos de los bombarderos nazis.
