The area around present-day Didcot has been inhabited for at least 9000 years, a large scale archaeological dig between 2010–2013 produced finds from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Ages. During the Roman era the inhabitants of the area tried to drain the marshland by digging ditches through what is now the Ladygrove area north of the town near Long Wittenham, evidence of which was found during surveying in 1994. A hoard of 126 gold Roman coins dating to around 160 CE was found just outside the village in 1995 by an enthusiast with a metal detector; this is now displayed at the Ashmolean Museum on loan from the British Museum.
Another walk around another town. This time it's Didcot. Is it one of the worst towns in England? Nah! Let us show you around. We are guessing it used to be a dive but a lot of money has gone into trying to turn the place around in the last 30 years.

10 Most Hated Towns in the UK
What are the most hated towns in the United Kingdom? Many towns in the United Kingdom are more developed with basic amenities than many places described as cities in some other countries. Thus, every town in the UK deserves some love. Still, the insatiable nature of man always craves more, even under the most convenient condition. Hence, some the UK towns are hated. We shall be unraveling here the 10 most hated towns in the UK.
Regardless of the passion or intensity of the frustration, the hatred shouldn’t be transferred to the persons living in those towns. It should be limited to the conditions making such towns unlivable and infuriating so that the concerned authorities can be called to order. Here are those 10 most hated towns in the UK.

Places to see in ( Didcot - UK )
Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the administrative county of Oxfordshire, England, 10 miles south of Oxford, 8 miles east of Wantage and 15 miles north west of Reading. Didcot is noted for its railway heritage, having been a station on Brunel's Great Western Main Line from London Paddington, opening in 1844.
Today the town is known for its railway museum and power stations, and is the gateway town to the Science Vale: three large science and technology centres in the surrounding villages of Milton (Milton Park), Culham (Culham Science Centre) and Harwell (Harwell Science and Innovation Campus which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory). The town was historically part of Berkshire until 1974 when there was county boundary change due to ...

What are the most hated towns in the United Kingdom? Many towns in the United Kingdom are more developed with basic amenities than many places described as cities in some other countries. Thus, every town in the UK deserves some love. Still, the insatiable nature of man always craves more, even under the most convenient condition. Hence, some the UK towns are hated. We shall be unraveling here the 10 most hated towns in the UK.
Regardless of the passion or intensity of the frustration, the hatred shouldn’t be transferred to the persons living in those towns. It should be limited to the conditions making such towns unlivable and infuriating so that the concerned authorities can be called to order. Here are those 10 most hated towns in the UK.
10. Llangefni, Wales
We start our discussion of the most hated in the UK in Wales. Our first point of call is the Welsh town of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey which also contains the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council. Llangefni is located near the center of Anglesey. It’s also on the River Cefni, from which it derives its name.
This county town and the second largest on the island is hated because it has only one thing going well for it, namely playing host to local government, enterprise, and industry. Social life and sports are not doing well in the town. And anytime it features in the news, it’s mostly for the wrong reasons.
9. Slough, England
Our entry to England to find most hated towns in the United Kingdom lands us in Slough. This town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire, is our next point of call.
Its vantage location notwithstanding, Slough is one of the 10 most hated towns, not only in England but also in the entire UK. According to visitors, it’s a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets and empty beer cans. No single resident has ever contradicted this assertion. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can without paying for it.
8. Didcot, England
The next town on our list is Didcot, a railway town which is also a civil parish in the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire. Also in the historic county of Berkshire, Didcot is 15 miles south of Oxford and 10 miles east of Wantage. The town noted for its railway heritage is just 15 miles northwest of Reading, with its station opening as a junction on the Great Western Main Line back in 1844.
The town of Didcot has been described many times as the most aggressive town not only in England but also in the United Kingdom. Regardless of whatever any dissenter found about this town, it will boil down to the same thing—it's a hated town in the UK. Traveling through the station for which it’s known today will put you in confrontation with touts and gangs jumping onto passing trains.
7. Stevenage, England
Stevenage is another one of the most hated towns in the United Kingdom. It’s a large town which many won’t take any offense if it’s referred to as a city. It’s a borough in Hertfordshire, 29 miles north of London. It is east of junctions 7 and 8 of the A1(M). It is located between Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City to the north and south respectively.
Even at that, those in England hate this town because it’s far cry from what other towns in England have to offer. According to residents, greeting others with eye contact can be considered offensive in this town. Besides, there are a lot of fake brand names in Stevenage this town. A higher rate of pilferage is being reported in this town, even at the instance of the parents.

Places to see in ( Didcot - UK )
Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the administrative county of Oxfordshire, England, 10 miles south of Oxford, 8 miles east of Wantage and 15 miles north west of Reading. Didcot is noted for its railway heritage, having been a station on Brunel's Great Western Main Line from London Paddington, opening in 1844.
Today the town is known for its railway museum and power stations, and is the gateway town to the Science Vale: three large science and technology centres in the surrounding villages of Milton (Milton Park), Culham (Culham Science Centre) and Harwell (Harwell Science and Innovation Campus which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory). The town was historically part of Berkshire until 1974 when there was county boundary change due to the Local Government Act 1972.
The area around present-day Didcot has been inhabited for at least 9000 years; a large-scale archaeological dig between 2010 and 2013 produced finds from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Ages. In the 1500s Didcot was a small village of landowners, tenants and tradespeople with a population of around 120. The oldest house still standing in Didcot is White Cottage, a Grade II listed wood shingle roofed, timber-framed building on Manor Road which was built in the early 16th century.
Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton via the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S) made the town militarily important, especially during the First World War campaign on the Western Front and the Second World War preparations for D-Day.
Formed by the Great Western Society in 1967 to house its collection of Great Western Railway locomotives and rolling stock, now housed in Didcot's 1932-built Great Western engine shed. The station was originally called Didcot but then renamed Didcot Parkway in 1985 by British Rail; the site of the old GWR provender stores, which had been demolished in 1976 (the provender pond was kept to maintain the water table) was made into a large car park to attract passengers from the surrounding area. An improvement programme for the forecourt of the station began in September 2012 and was expected to take around fifteen months. This was viewed as being the first phase of better connecting the station to Didcot town centre.
( Didcot - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Didcot . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Didcot - UK

The name ...
Located in the county of Oxfordshire (although formerly part of Berkshire up until 1974), and around 10 miles south of Oxford, is the town of Didcot.
The name 'Didcot' came into use from around the 12th century, and is derived from 'Dida's cottage', where Dida (variant spellings exist) was a Mercian ruler. For centuries Didcot was a small village. This all changed with the coming of the railways.
In 1839, the Great Western Railway, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, reached Didcot. In 1844 Didcot station opened (or Didcot Parkway as it is known today). To this day it serves as a junction station between the Great Western Main Line between London Paddington and Bristol, and the Cherwell Valley Line to Banbury via Oxford, where it is the southern terminus.
As railway workers and their families moved to Didcot, a surge in demand for housing took place. Many brick-built Victorian tenements emerged, along with two hotels at the station. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, the railway was the largest employer in Didcot. With the construction of an army barracks in Didcot (today known as Vauxhall Barracks), the army soon became the town's largest employer.
Didcot's layout changed dramatically following the First World War. During the 1920s, Broadway was converted from a quiet residential street to the main shopping area. Much more recently, in 2005, the outdoor shopping centre, Orchard Centre, opened. Also of note is Didcot Railway Centre. Situated on the site of Didcot Parkway station itself, this former Great Western Railway engine shed and locomotive stabling point is today a railway museum and preservation engineering site.
Just to the northwest of the town centre is Didcot Power Station. This is also known as Didcot B as there used to be two stations, however Didcot A was decommissioned in 2013.
TV presenter Matt Richardson comes from Didcot.

The name 'Didcot' came into use from around the 12th century, and is derived from 'Dida's cottage', where Dida (variant spellings exist) was a Mercian ruler. For centuries Didcot was a small village. This all changed with the coming of the railways.
In 1839, the Great Western Railway, engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, reached Didcot. In 1844 Didcot station opened (or Didcot Parkway as it is known today). To this day it serves as a junction station between the Great Western Main Line between London Paddington and Bristol, and the Cherwell Valley Line to Banbury via Oxford, where it is the southern terminus.
As railway workers and their families moved to Didcot, a surge in demand for housing took place. Many brick-built Victorian tenements emerged, along with two hotels at the station. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, the railway was the largest employer in Didcot. With the construction of an army barracks in Didcot (today known as Vauxhall Barracks), the army soon became the town's largest employer.
Didcot's layout changed dramatically following the First World War. During the 1920s, Broadway was converted from a quiet residential street to the main shopping area. Much more recently, in 2005, the outdoor shopping centre, Orchard Centre, opened. Also of note is Didcot Railway Centre. Situated on the site of Didcot Parkway station itself, this former Great Western Railway engine shed and locomotive stabling point is today a railway museum and preservation engineering site.
Just to the northwest of the town centre is Didcot Power Station. This is also known as Didcot B as there used to be two stations, however Didcot A was decommissioned in 2013.

What are the most hated towns in the United Kingdom? Many towns in the United Kingdom are more developed with basic amenities than many places described as cities in some other countries. Thus, every town in the UK deserves some love. Still, the insatiable nature of man always craves more, even under the most convenient condition. Hence, some the UK towns are hated. We shall be unraveling here the 10 most hated towns in the UK.
Regardless of the passion or intensity of the frustration, the hatred shouldn’t be transferred to the persons living in those towns. It should be limited to the conditions making such towns unlivable and infuriating so that the concerned authorities can be called to order. Here are those 10 most hated towns in the UK.
10. Llangefni, Wales
We start our discussion of the most hated in the UK in Wales. Our first point of call is the Welsh town of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey which also contains the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council. Llangefni is located near the center of Anglesey. It’s also on the River Cefni, from which it derives its name.
This county town and the second largest on the island is hated because it has only one thing going well for it, namely playing host to local government, enterprise, and industry. Social life and sports are not doing well in the town. And anytime it features in the news, it’s mostly for the wrong reasons.
9. Slough, England
Our entry to England to find most hated towns in the United Kingdom lands us in Slough. This town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire, is our next point of call.
Its vantage location notwithstanding, Slough is one of the 10 most hated towns, not only in England but also in the entire UK. According to visitors, it’s a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets and empty beer cans. No single resident has ever contradicted this assertion. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can without paying for it.
8. Didcot, England
The next town on our list is Didcot, a railway town which is also a civil parish in the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire. Also in the historic county of Berkshire, Didcot is 15 miles south of Oxford and 10 miles east of Wantage. The town noted for its railway heritage is just 15 miles northwest of Reading, with its station opening as a junction on the Great Western Main Line back in 1844.
The town of Didcot has been described many times as the most aggressive town not only in England but also in the United Kingdom. Regardless of whatever any dissenter found about this town, it will boil down to the same thing—it's a hated town in the UK. Traveling through the station for which it’s known today will put you in confrontation with touts and gangs jumping onto passing trains.
7. Stevenage, England
Stevenage is another one of the most hated towns in the United Kingdom. It’s a large town which many won’t take any offense if it’s referred to as a city. It’s a borough in Hertfordshire, 29 miles north of London. It is east of junctions 7 and 8 of the A1(M). It is located between Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City to the north and south respectively.
Even at that, those in England hate this town because it’s far cry from what other towns in England have to offer. According to residents, greeting others with eye contact can be considered offensive in this town. Besides, there are a lot of fake brand names in Stevenage this town. A higher rate of pilferage is being reported in this town, even at the instance of the parents.

Places to see in ( Didcot - UK )
Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the administrative county of Oxfordshire, England, 10 miles south of Oxford, 8 miles east of Wantage and 15 miles north west of Reading. Didcot is noted for its railway heritage, having been a station on Brunel's Great Western Main Line from London Paddington, opening in 1844.
Today the town is known for its railway museum and power stations, and is the gateway town to the Science Vale: three large science and technology centres in the surrounding villages of Milton (Milton Park), Culham (Culham Science Centre) and Harwell (Harwell Science and Innovation Campus which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory). The town was historically part of Berkshire until 1974 when there was county boundary change due to the Local Government Act 1972.
The area around present-day Didcot has been inhabited for at least 9000 years; a large-scale archaeological dig between 2010 and 2013 produced finds from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Ages. In the 1500s Didcot was a small village of landowners, tenants and tradespeople with a population of around 120. The oldest house still standing in Didcot is White Cottage, a Grade II listed wood shingle roofed, timber-framed building on Manor Road which was built in the early 16th century.
Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton via the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S) made the town militarily important, especially during the First World War campaign on the Western Front and the Second World War preparations for D-Day.
Formed by the Great Western Society in 1967 to house its collection of Great Western Railway locomotives and rolling stock, now housed in Didcot's 1932-built Great Western engine shed. The station was originally called Didcot but then renamed Didcot Parkway in 1985 by British Rail; the site of the old GWR provender stores, which had been demolished in 1976 (the provender pond was kept to maintain the water table) was made into a large car park to attract passengers from the surrounding area. An improvement programme for the forecourt of the station began in September 2012 and was expected to take around fifteen months. This was viewed as being the first phase of better connecting the station to Didcot town centre.

The area around present-day Didcot has been inhabited for at least 9000 years, a large scale archaeological dig between 2010–2013 produced finds from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age and Bronze Ages. During the Roman era the inhabitants of the area tried to drain the marshland by digging ditches through what is now the Ladygrove area north of the town near Long Wittenham, evidence of which was found during surveying in 1994. A hoard of 126 gold Roman coins dating to around 160 CE was found just outside the village in 1995 by an enthusiast with a metal detector; this is now displayed at the Ashmolean Museum on loan from the British Museum.
