Small towns, I get. Easy choice. Not been or heard of Hatfield before so maybe it checks out.
But Birmingham 7th?
There’s no way a city that treated us with this [epic work of art](https://youtu.be/QsI6R6nHbnI?t=34) could ever be considered boring.
Pretty arbitrary list lol.
I lived in Hatfield for 7 years, it has some ok bits and some grotty bits, the town centre was very run down. But it also has a big cinema, shopping centre, sports facilities, a University, Hatfield House (a Jacobean manor estate open to the public), a couple of posher bits and a decent trainline to go elsewhere.
While I wouldn’t particularly recommend the place, I can definitely think of worse places to be without even going very far (Stevenage is just up the road and is very similar, but more industrial estates).
Looking through the article ‘Tourist attractions’ seems to be their criteria, Hatfield has at least one, while there are hundreds of villages and towns with none. I know it’s a bit of fun, but if you’re going to put the effort into such a list it might be worth putting in enough effort for it to be even vaguely accurate 🙂
That’s the stupidest list I think I’ve ever seen. The idea that a city can be boring is in itself ridiculous, but none of those cities are dull. Two of them are capital cities – one of them has a world famous landmark.
If you can’t find stuff to do in a city of a million people, that’s on you
Nice – ‘Hatfield caters more to residents seeking a quiet life than to tourists in search of exciting experiences.’
Lots to do and seeing Brum, I don’t find it boring at all, I feel people don’t look at what it has to offer.
I’ve been saying this for years that Hatfield is the most boring shithole in UK
Finally, validation
Even Mark Twain said that St Petersburg Florida was boring lol
Woking! The most mediocre place I have ever visited.
Birmingham is on the boring list, but nowhere in Wales!?
Hertfordshire dweller here, Hatfield is known locally as Shatfield for a reason, glad to see it finally getting some recognition
This article is nonsense. It’s just sponsored content to bring traffic to someone’s blog. Common SEO technique.
I live 10 mins from Hatfield – we only go there for the Odeon and only after 6pm because parking is free 💵
I do enjoy driving through the tunnel though
My mum’s best friend used to live in Hatfield, it’s definitely a boring town but there are worse places.
Should come to farnborough in Hampshire it’s fucking desolate. Depressing and full of nearly dead people. Fuck all for the youth to do and the pubs are shite.
The people who make these lists are always complete morons.
I can do more in Birmingham than in any other city, barring London. Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield are small by comparison.
Agree with Pisa, apart from the leaning tower it’s not really got a lot going on but some of those selections are ridiculous. Ottawa and Bratislava are both great cities.
Hatfield has Slam Dunk fest every year so it’s alright with me
Pisa boring? Great sights, nightlife, and beach..
I feel this list was made by someone that has never been to these places.
Birmingham: 2600 restaurants (5 Michelin stars), 8000 acres of parks, more trees than people, home of the Royal Ballet, premiership football clubs, Symphony Hall, getting-on for 1000 pubs, 40 nightclubs, a whole bunch of world-class art and museums (Pre-Raphaelites, Burne-jones window…), 200 live music venues, school performing in the top ten in the UK, the Digbeth/East-side arts scene. Yes, really boring.
Once again, Birmingham catching strays when it really doesn’t deserve to.
