Summer is definitely the period when everyone is creating lists, this was created by Fbm Holidays and are in fact two different lists, one for the towns and one for villages.
Some of the places chosen are quite predictable, others less so. For example, at the first place in the list of villages we have Castle Combe which is a quite obvious choice, at second place instead is Portmeirion, a village that seems to have been transported from Liguria to Wales but is less known.
The lists don’t include anywhere in Scotland which instead has several rather lovely places.
