Wonderful. Would be good to see them grouped, for example, all the pretty villages in Cornwall.

Very disappointing. Plenty here in England almost nothing in Scotland..yet we have wonderful beaches and delightful villages.

I agree that all towns and villages shown are very pretty. However more than half (from 34 onwards) are in the southernmost one third of England! Whilst you show quite a few nice places in Scotland, N. Ireland, Wales, and the North of England, the Midlands and East Anglia seem to have been entirely overlooked. There are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous places in Hereford & Worcestershire - Hay-on-Wye & Ross on Wye spring to mind - and especially in Shropshire; Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Bridgnorth (where I was born) and Alveley village (where I grew up). Even Shakespeare's home town, flooded with tourists, doesn't feature! What about Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire? With the Midlands (and I don't mean the county of the West Midlands!) included you could have easily reached 100. Disappointing and somewhat baffling.
