According to a new survey by ilivehere.co.uk, these are the worst places to live in the UK...

Each year, the brutal survey reveals the worst places to live in the country - with this year's questionnaire delivering a new winner.

The Cambridgeshire town of Peterborough has come in bottom? top? of the list this year, after those quizzed in the survey claimed residents of the town were "miserable" and "backwards" - ouch!

Despite the fact that Peterborough is home to Burghley House, a 12-century cathedral and other heritage sites, it didn't cut the mustard when it came to the public poll.

One of the 50,000 people that cast their vote in the survey even described the town as "the biggest dump in England with aggressive and inbred residents".

You can view the full list of shamed towns below. *DISCLAIMER* This survey is completely unscientific.
