A seaside town in Northumberland has been named Britain’s best for the fourth year in a row.<\/p>\n

According to a Which? survey, Bamburgh in the North East of England is once again the UK’s favourite beachfront town.<\/p>\n

The consumer group surveyed 4,744 people about their experiences visiting Britain’s coastal towns over the past year.<\/p>\n

The results say Britons found the Northumberland<\/strong><\/a> village to be the best again, with a destination score of 86%.<\/p>\n

Boasting the Bamburgh Castle above miles of white beaches, Which? quoted a visitor who said the structure is “probably the most impressive castle in the British Isles”.<\/p>\n

The survey also saw the town – which has a population of just over 400 people – receive five stars for its beach, seafront, scenery, tourist attractions, and peace and quiet.<\/p>\n

Bamburgh also finished first place<\/strong><\/a> in the Which? survey in 2023, 2022, and 2021. It also took top spot in 2019<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, the town ranked above Portmeirion, in Gwynedd, Wales<\/strong><\/a>, and St Andrews in Fife, Scotland<\/strong><\/a>, which placed second and third respectively.<\/p>\n
