Rubbish TownsI once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.
Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

We had a family holiday there once in a borrowed caravan.The 'beach' is indeed a strip of lumpy, sand-free pebbles, narrow when the tide's in and wide when it's out.
'Our' caravan was on a huge site with hundreds of others. The 'beach' could only be reached from here by climbing over a stile on a high stone wall, CROSSING THE RAILWAY TRACK and climbing the stile on the opposite wall. I was 6 months pregnant and we had a toddler.
A constant stream of caravan-dwellers did this back and forth all day - it was always like a busy Saturday on Oxford Street.
Strapping young fathers formed a chain to pass children and buggies over the stiles, keeping an eye and an ear open for trains. Extraordinarily dangerous.

Towyn is indeed a holeHowever Aberdyfi just down the road makes up for it somewhat. Other than the 4 weeks of the year where what seems like the whole of Birmingham moves in.
And I still think it's got more going for it than Borth!
