Newly released data from YouGov on the opinions of more than 55,000 people towards 57 English, Welsh and Scottish cities reveals that York is Britain’s most liked city.
The survey revealed that more than nine in ten Britons (92%) like the historic Viking settlement, with Roman spa town Bath coming in second place (89%), followed by Scottish capital Edinburgh (88%).
Chester just missed out on a medal position, coming in fourth in the poll with a score of 83%.
There is some solace, at least, in knowing that Chester trumped nearby North West cities Manchester (27th, with 69%) and Liverpool (28th, with 68%) by a considerable margin.
Here’s how the top ten looked:
| Rank | City | % who like the city |
| 1 | York | 92% |
| 2 | Bath | 89% |
| 3 | Edinburgh | 88% |
| 4 | Chester | 83% |
| 5 | Durham | 81% |
| 6 | Salisbury | 80% |
| 7 | Truro | 80% |
| 8 | Canterbury | 79% |
| 9 | Wells | 79% |
| 10 | Cambridge | 78% |
