Although most of them are in England, there are four in Wales and just three in Scotland. The publication said the shortlist prioritised beauty and authenticity, emphasising places not overrun by tourists, North Wales Live reports.

Representing South Wales are Solva, Pembrokeshire, with its “ice-cream pastels” and “fjord-like harbour”, and Laugharne on the River Taf in Carmarthenshire, host to a castle ruin, old walls and reminders of poet Dylan Thomas.
