I love Chester. The centre is full of beautiful medieval buildings and there's so much to see and do in the city. It's on the gate of 2 beautiful countries too.

I really like Nottingham. I expected a bit of a run-down dirty dangerous city when I first went but there's actually lots of nice things to see and lots of historic charm.

It's actually not. The main reason for High Streets dying is actually to do with business rates and shops not being able to afford the rent. It's a government or council thing if the High Street is dead.

I love Lincoln. It's honestly a beautiful little city with so much charm. More people need to visit it.

I'd say Halifax. Everyone talks it about it like it's a typical run-down post-industrial northern town but it really isn't. The Piece Hall is really something to behold and even gets bands like Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, Human League, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Deftones and Queens of The Stone Age playing. It also has quite a few museums dotted about in the centre and some really nice architecture. Definitely don't knock the place until you've visited.
