National Express Managing Director, Chris Hardy, said: \u2018We quizzed the nation, scouring the A to Z of Britain\u2019s roads, rows, avenues and lanes to uncover the top 15 UK streets you need to see. A long Bank Holiday weekend is right up everybody\u2019s street so we thought the time was ripe to reveal the\u00a0UK\u2019s prettiest to inspire people to take somewhere new in their stride this Easter.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The street, which played host to a thriving meat market from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century, is characterised by overhanging timber-framed buildings that line the road, some of which date back over 700 years. The Royal Mile of Edinburgh\u2019s Old Town and the sweeping Georgian architecture of the Circus in Bath reside in second and third place in the countdown.<\/p>\n<p>Colourful shopfronts and cobbled streets earned Steep Hill, Lincoln, a place in the list, along with the Marketplace, Devizes and Eastgate Street in Chester.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalexpressgroup.com\/newsmedia\/news-across-the-group\/2017\/uks-most-picturesque-streets-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Shambles, York\u2019s famous fourteenth century market road, has been named Britain\u2019s prettiest street following a survey by National Express Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15514"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15516,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15514\/revisions\/15516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
