    I would take this list with a pinch of salt. Although there were some nice looking towns in the list, some of the other choices were quite surprising. The majority of the people in the country won't know where most of these towns are. They will certainly not have visited them. So to say that they are our favourite towns is disingenuous to say the least.

    You're always exclaiming about towns built by rivers or the sea? Dunno if you've ever thought about why that should be? Not many of your built up areas are older than a couple of hundred years. Many of ours (including London) go back to the Neolithic or the Bronze Ages. So of course areas of settlement HAVE to have a water-source. How else are they going to wash, drink, look after their animals, put out fires, travel, etc?
    Going forward a few centuries and water was needed for the vessels which took goods & services to other venues i.e. that enabled them to trade goods - importing and exporting. Then, coming almost to the "modern" era. came the Industrial Revolution - and water was needed to power the huge and powerful machines which were being constantly invented.
    Btw, you do know that an area where the water is shallow enough to cross is called a "ford", yeah? So that to cross a river is called "fording" a river? The name which gave you such hilarity means that a Scandinavian farmer called Knuts lived by the part of the river where cattle & horses etc. could cross. Knuts Ford. That's why so many place-names in England end in "ford". Knutsford, Bradford, Hertford, etc. etc.

    I live in Selby. It's quite nice. The building with the clock is the old Selby Abbey Church, now the Parish church of St Germanus for the town. It dates from the 11th century, & King Henry 1st was born in it's guesthouse in 1069. That building is now a pub, of course. Yorkshire is a county, the largest in the country, based around the City of York. The County is divided into several separate Counties, of which North Yorkshire is one. Most of these most loved places are little known by people elsewhere in the country. It seems to be based on very local surveys or something. Don't get us started on strange American first names. I bet nobody in the UK will be called Tyler, because that's an occupation, & possible as a surname, but not a first name.
    Most towns in the old world were built by water, because this was vital for hygiene, transport,
    irrigation, security etc. A Town Council is the ruling body of a town or City, with Councillors voted for in local elections. These are often headed by a Mayor. This system goes back into the Medieval period, when most towns were granted Market Charters by a King.
    Nutsford is named after Knut, or Canute, a Norse personal name. A Civil Parish is an autonomous district with a local council which may contain one or more villages. The word derives from Parish, the district of a local Church with it's Priest, but may be distinct from this.

    I grew up in Fleet (Hampshire) which lies under the Hart District Council, Hart isn't a town.
    It isn't the most picturesque town centre which is probably why they didn't show any photos, although they could have shown Hartley Wintney (also mentioned) which is a lovely picturesque village to travel through. I'm surprised they didn't show you Fleet Pond, which is more the size of a lake and the largest fresh water lake in Hampshire. The Queens Head is a pub in a village called Dogmersfield just outside of Fleet, it does great food (well it did the last time I was there 😀). There is also some lovely walks along Basingstoke Canal which runs through Fleet.
    ... and it is true, Fleet was voted the healthiest place to live in around 2017, but since then housing developers have moved in and I don't think it will hold that mantle anymore. I cannot afford to live in Fleet which is a shame as I still see it as my home town, I'm now living slightly down the motorway (M3) from there. My parents are still there though.

It passes many major UK cities including Stafford, Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Chester (via the M56), Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, through the Lake District (stunning views) past Carlisle and Penrith and up to Gretna (entering Scotland). M1 travels from London to Leeds, M2 from London towards Canterbury, M3 is London to Southampton, M4 is London to Wales (Cardiff), M5 is Birmingham to Cornwall.

The Lord of the castle defended the people from aggressors , the people worked the land ( they were surfs , basically slaves )and paid “ taxes “ to the lord , gradually towns grew up around the castle, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers etc . This is why lots of towns have castles ( or the ruins of castles ) at their heart ( my towns castle was destroyed in our civil war , but we know where it was ).
