Most boring place in the UK?

I think I live in the most boring place in the UK. A small town in a county called Northamptonshire. You've probably never even heard of it, I don't blame you, there's nothing here. Just a forgotten Midlands county.

The local geography consists of fields and a river. The largest city (if you can call it a city) is Northampton, which has a few shops and a crap university. There is nothing of any significant interest, no tourist attractions, no celebrities, and the only time we're ever mentioned on TV is during the local news which consists of stories about farmer's markets and old people.

What is the most boring place you know of in the UK? Doesn't have to be where you live, just somewhere you've visited or know of. I challenge someone to find a more boring place than where I live :biggrin:

Byfield, Northamptonshire. Very beautiful though.

St Albans, Hertfordshire. Ridiculously expensive for drinks, no cinema, unhygenic (recognised by the council) swimming pool, nothing to do!

Byfield? Never heard of it... If it's anything like my town though, small and not really known of, I can relate with you :tongue:

Between Daventry and Banbury on the A361.
I'd imagine where the area where the man in the middle of the road (m62) is pretty boring place, "just going to the corner shop for some milk and bread, love, be back in an hour or so" :p:
I had the displeasure of living in Daventry for 5 months for work.

I second Byfield to be honest, but at least there's some nice countryside...

I second this, I've been to St. Albans before, but the only thing I can now relate with the name is Enter Shikari :rolleyes:

This. Why? It must be noisy too. And only the sheep to keep you company.

Swindon. That town could be bombed out of existence and no-one would notice.
Dunoon in Scotland.
