Beverley is 44th best place to live
Wed 26th March 2014
The Sunday Times guide to the best 101 places to live in Britain has been revealed, with Beverley coming in a very respectable 44th.
The guide combines data like crime rates, house prices and school performance with local knowledge, and the winning places were selected for offering the best quality of life to the widest number of people, and combining community spirit, good local shops and services and attractive outdoor spaces.
Beverley offers a thriving market town containing a variety of independent shops and eateries, as well as having the pastures of Beverley Westwood just minutes from the town centre.
It also provides world-class entertainment in the form of the Beverley Folk Festival, Beverley Puppet Festival and Beverley Food Festival, with Beverley Minster being a focal tourist attraction for the town.
Sunday Times Home Editor Helen Davies said: “The Best Places guide is dedicated to celebrating Britain’s abundance of great cities, towns and villages. We combine in-depth data with first-hand personal experience to produce an authoritative list.
"There are lots of places across Britain that are worth celebrating, and everyone has different priorities, so this year our supplements cover everything from the countryside to inner-cities.”
