Are you somewhere pretty this Easter? A survey of 1,000 people was conducted by National Express to uncover the most charming streets in a bid to encourage people to take in somewhere new over the Easter weekend and we have a copy of the list.
The Shambles, York's famous fourteenth century market road, has been crowned Britain's prettiest street. Have you been? We were last there a couple of years back and sometimes you forget how pretty places are in your own country.
The Royal Mile of Edinburgh's Old Town and the sweeping Georgian architecture of the Circus in Bath are second and third place. Worthy winners we think. Fifth place was claimed by Gold Hill in Shaftesbury. Another favourite view of ours. You might remember it from the old Hovis bread adverts.
