The UK market town is named the worst name in the county, with content creators claiming “dog food stench.” The content creator behind YouTube channel Turdtowns argued in a recent video that he thought was Herefordshire's “worst” town, and Leominster surpassed his list.
He said that it is the largest of the county's five towns, but he still thought there shouldn't be much to do. YouTubers claim that tourists will be postponed by Leominster, feeling “almost giving up” in the town and “a melancholy hell.” He focused on empty “Leominster Bloom” displays and numerous closed businesses in the town centre, claiming there was nothing positive about it.
However, the YouTuber said there are plenty of “good historic buildings.” However, he added that the lot, which he branded as “Oliver Twist's,” had been closed or even abandoned.
Over the past few months, reports have emerged in the Leiminster area of strong and unpleasant odors emitted from plants in industrial parks.
This plant is a food processing facility, and odors are thought to be related to the process, and the handling and storage of materials such as fish can be used to produce pet food.
Leominster in Herefordshire is located at the junction of the Lag and Kenwater Rivers.
Visiting Herefordshire, Leominster described it as a “historic town” that is “attractively realistic” with medieval, Tudor and Georgia buildings in the centre and with castles and mansions in the surrounding area.
The town is also known as the “antique mecca,” with a wealth of stores that have taken Leominster to the TV screen through shows such as antique road trips and bargain hunts.
The tourist spot says it is waiting to be explored with a “treasure” of independent shops and cafes, including delis and galleries.
The surrounding area includes Leominster Abbey, Queenswood Arboretum, Hampton Gardens, Easterwood, Docklow Pool and Bellington Hall.
One of the historic homes scattered throughout the town and dates back to the 17th century, Grange Court is one of the landmarks highly regarded by visitors. He wrote on TripAdvisor: “The building originally stood on the market square and was demolished, moved, adapted and rebuilt. The fact that it still exists after just 400 years is worth a visit. Free admission and modern extensions do not undermine the fantastic environment on the edge of the green.
Another said: “This is a lovely building, with a lovely garden in a very nice area. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.”
Express contacted the Leominster Town Council for comments.
