This Hampshire town may have lost its ‘Best Place to Live’ status – but we still love it.
Every year, online lifestyle magazine Muddy Stilettos publishes its list of the ‘Best Places to Live’ across the country, celebrating some of the UK's most beloved towns, villages and cities.
For the past few years, Emsworth has featured on the list, with its historic charm and picturesque waterside setting helping it stand out.
But this year, things are a little different.
The Hampshire town has missed out on a place in the latest guide, which was published last month, meaning it no longer holds its ‘Best Place to Live’ status.
However, that certainly hasn't changed how much we love this quaint coastal town.
From its beautiful harbour to its independent shops and welcoming community, there are plenty of reasons why Emsworth remains a special place.
Here are eight reasons why we love Emsworth:
