    Cities in the UK evolved over centuries. Many started off as a river crossing or a gathering place could date back thousands of years. Streets are narrow because many of them like the cities are so old that cars were hundreds of years away in the future. The UK will as much as possible try to preserve its old cities. The car does not even get into the top ten when it comes to changes to city layouts. In fact, most cities are trying to keep cars out as much as possible.

Perhaps it's classed as a market town so not classed as an actual city but still a beautiful place to visit.

    We've got so many rivers in our UK cities because they were crucial for drinking water, farming & transport.
    When you consider how old our cities are, it makes sense that they were built near a source of water, which would have been invaluable in times gone by.
    The same can be said for some of the castles too. They were built in locations where the land was fertile & near a water source. Smaller houses were errected around the castle that consisted of the labourers who were working on the construction of the castles. A job that would take any amount of years to complete. The labourers would then end up settling in the houses after the castle's completion & so the area grew.
    That wasn't always the case of course, but it did happen.

    Your university of Harvard is also in a place called Cambridge (part of Boston). This is because Harvard was created from a bequest by an English clergyman called John Harvard (1607-1638) who was educated at Emmanuel College Cambridge University in England. His statue can be found in the grounds of Harvard Campus.

    Notes from a Belfast native. One of the photos in the Belfast section is Tower Bridge, which is in London, but the rest of the segment was accurate. The big white building is Stormont, seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly. Belfast City Hall and Belfast Castle, both mentioned, weren't shown, but you should look them up. Other Belfast landmarks you might like to check out include Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park, Cave Hill and the Giant's Ring.
    If you like Oxford, check out Inspector Morse, a murder mystery TV show of the 80s and 90s set in the city, or Endeavour, a more recent prequel series starring the young Morse in Oxford in the 60s and 70s.

    Hi Tyler, you appear fascinated, that there are so many waterways in England, which connect cities. Permit me to explain:
    Before the advent of motorised vehicles, and smooth roads, waterways were the only means of transporting heavy goods. They were the arteries of industry. Ancient rivers, (such as the river Lea), weren’t wide enough to accommodate the huge number of barges needed, so canals were dug. Britain’s Industrial Revolution (IR) thrived only because of them.
    The construction of canals enabled inland coalfields and heavy industries like pottery and metalworking to expand.

    This is obviously a very politically-correct list, including all the nations of the UK, but Cardiff and Belfast? Really?? I'd have thought the ancient, walled city of Derry / Londonderry has far more merit. Inverness has a nice enough setting, but Glasgow, Stirling, Dundee & Aberdeen are far more dramatic and have much more going for them - even Perth, with its medieval street layout and position on the River Tay...
    I'd have placed Liverpool before Manchester I think - and Chester before both of them, I might have put Bristol before Bath and Gloucester before either - or maybe even Wells! Of the cathedral cities I'd have said that Salisbury, Winchester and Chichester are at least worthy of a mention - not to say Norwich, Ely, Lincoln aqnd Durham; and trumping even all of these is of course York. Hence my list would be something like this:
    London, Edinburgh, York, Durham, Chester, Liverpool, Wells, Stirling, Gloucester, St David's, Bath, Bristol, Glasgow, Winchester, Lincoln, Norwich, Ely, Canterbury, Chichester, Derry, Dundee, Colchester, Ripon, Perth & Salisbury.

    There are 76 cities in the UK, 1,186 towns and 6,116 villages according to official figures. Each have their own characteristics and have evolved and grown over the past 2000+ years - many of which would qualify to be counted within the 'Top 10' beautiful places in the UK.
    As they were located at a meeting place or location of strategic importance near rivers, on hills, by the sea, by lakes - these provided protection access, food and ease of trade. They've all evolved and changed in response to the passing centuries, responding to historic events and were already established before the industrial revolution brought railways, industry and major road infrastructure and petrol vehicles. We value our building and lands as they are interwoven with our culture, our history which still lives as part of our national identity and who we are.

The central spire was never rebuilt so the record was lost that had been held for 238 years. There is also a castle at Lincoln just a short walk away from the Cathedral, and many other historical buildings.
