Swansea has been named one of the best food destinations in the UK
Swansea has been named the UK's fifth best food destination outside London, putting it ahead of Worcester, Newport, Wrexham, Perth and Brighton & Hove in a new city-break ranking. The Welsh city was placed inside the top five after analysis by travel specialists at Ski Vertigo which compared recent restaurant rankings, review data and current dining guide credentials across more than 60 UK cities. Birmingham took the overall crown, but Swansea's position gives the city a clear food-led break hook for travellers who want a cheaper and easier alternative to the capital. London dominates the UK for sheer restaurant volume and high-end dining, but the ranking looked beyond size alone, comparing the ratio of five-star rated food spots to total venues alongside wider guide recognition.
