Bristol has been named as the best city in the UK to live in, thanks to its “great shopping, great scenery and great social scene”.

The accolade was awarded in the second instalment of the Sunday Times’ Best Places to Live in Britain, which last week saw Skipton in North Yorkshire come out as number one in a less urban 101 Best Places to Live list.

The latest list did not provide ranks beyond the best overall winner, but profiled each one of the 64 cities in Britain.

Bristol, it said, boasts “one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, varied and beautiful housing stock, decent schools, buzzy culture and night life and access to some fantastic countryside”.

1. Population 400,000, I don't why I always think

of Bristol of being a quaint little town.

2. I'm sorry, but I always associate Bristol

With one of the dreariest weeks in my life. I have had more fun on a wet Sunday in Hull.
