England’s worst places to live have been named in a poll of 11,172 Britons. Asking locals to nominate their own communities, the annual survey by iLiveHere has broken records this year, with more Britons than ever taking part.

Peterborough was the winner for three “glorious years of taking the crown” but it didn’t win this year.

Instead, it was Aylesbury which came top with 25 percent more votes than second place Huddersfield.

In third place was Luton.

One local said: “As you enter into Aylesbury, you find yourself in a traffic jam.

“Don’t worry, it’s all part of the tour. Being stuck in the traffic allows you to observe the magnificent beauty of all the ‘trashy citizens’ that live there.”

And another commented: “What can I say? The fact that Stanley Kubrick saw fit to film some of A Clockwork Orange here was horribly prescient.”

And a local recommended this tourist attraction: “[the people] are loud, obnoxious and dumb.

“We need to protect these species; they’re not endangered by any means, but they are a great tourist attraction to laugh and scoff at.”

The Buckinghamshire town is located north of Chiltern Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There is plenty to do in the area, with picturesque villages and hamlets, as well as the Chilterns to explore.

Villages in the surrounding area have been used as filming locations for Midsommer Murders, Downtown Abbey and Never Say Never Again.

The second worst place to live was Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.

Britons who decide to visit despite the town’s ranking can head to Oakwell Hall, featured in the novel Shirley by Charlotte Brontë.

Brontë history can also be found at Dewbury Minster where Patrick Brontë was once curate.

Huddersfield has more than 1600 listed buildings and history lovers will be spoilt for choice.

Castle Hill, which stands on a hilltop overlooking the town offers panoramic views over the countryside.

The monument was built on a roman fort and is a popular attraction.

Huddersfield is also the birthplace of Rugby League and sports fans will want to go to John Smith’s Stadium to watch a game.

Rounding up the top three worst places to live in England was Luton.

Most famous for its airport, the town still has plenty to offer holidaymakers who are not just passing through.

On Tripadvisor, the top things to do in the area include Stockwood Discovery Centre, Wrest Park, Wardown House, Museum and Gallery and the Barton Hills National Nature Reserve.
