A viral TikTok video named High Wycombe as one of the worst places in the south of England - but that opinion has divided Bucks Free Press readers. 

The video, which has been viewed more than 1.6 million times since it was uploaded in March, features the town in a list of the “worst places in the south of England” – alongside the likes of Bracknell, Dartford, Bury St Edmunds and Sittingbourne – while a previous video also named Aylesbury in the list.

Not everyone in the comments agreed High Wycombe should be on the list, and we certainly thought it was harsh.

But we asked our readers what they thought about the town - is it really as bad as its critics say? 

Well, people seemed pretty split. 

A poll we launched on Tuesday has seen 235 votes cast - 117 people saying they love High Wycombe and think it has an unfair reputation, while 118 say they have been to better places. 

Bucks Free Press readers also could not agree.

Emma Louise Robins said: "Sorry but it's definitely not one of the worst places! If people don't like it, they don't have to live here."

Mel Vickers said: "Plenty worse out there and as above don't like it, then do something about it, move."

Andrea Page said: "Try living in Hillingdon! Moved from there to Wycombe best decision I made."

But Tracey Moore said: "I tend to agree and one day I will escape it." 

And Karen Stottor added: "Well they ain't far wrong."

Others were less than polite about the town, using words a family newspaper like the Bucks Free Press will not be repeating! 

Website user Sacre Bleuuu said: "Anyone that seriously thinks Wycombe is nice obviously hasn't travelled very far, or is visiting from Slough."

While G Large said: "High Wycombe has a ton of potential but there's a lack of vision and some pretty poor decision making."

We still think that the town has some amazing points to shout about - why not let us know your favourite thing about it in the comments below?
