‘Poshest’ seaside village with ‘long-standing’ connection to Prince William and Harry
Britons have been basking in the quintessential British summer experience, with families heading to the seaside for a sun-soaked weekend, complete with beach fun and the classic fish and chips.
The UK boasts an array of stunning seaside towns, featuring picturesque beaches and vibrant piers that draw crowds eager to enjoy the sunshine. Even on cloudier days, these coastal havens are bustling with tourists seeking a slice of maritime charm.
Which? has unveiled its rankings of the best and worst seaside towns across the UK, placing Bamburgh in Northumberland at the top for holidaymakers. Conversely, Bangor in Wales found itself languishing at the bottom, with Mablethorpe, Burnham-on-Sea, Bognor Regis, and Skegness also receiving less-than-stellar reviews.
Determining the best and worst seaside destinations is inherently subjective, and this holds true when considering which town holds the title of the poshest. The Telegraph has curated a list of the ten most upscale seaside spots, with Polzeath in Cornwall claiming the number one spot, reports the Mirror.
This small resort town within the civil parish of St Minver is known for its hefty average house price of £1.25 million, with 43% of properties valued over £1 million. Polzeath also enjoys a “long-standing connection” to royalty, having been a favoured summer retreat for Prince William and Prince Harry, who spent time in nearby Rock and surfed at Polzeath.
