As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is subjective! But I think we can all agree that New Hampshire as a whole is beautiful. We have so much to offer.

When choosing New Hampshire's ugliest city, Travel A Lot considered factors like safety, lack of maintenance, and poor design choices.

That's right, Somersworth (where you get your money's worth) New Hampshire was named the ugliest city in the state. Here's why:
