We’re trying to find the locations and attractions across England that you’re most proud of. We’ve asked some well-known faces to name their top spots, and now it’s your turn.

We want to know, if you had just one day to show off your part of the country, where you’d take a visitor or tourist?

So whether you live in Bristol, Birmingham or Bakewell, make sure you cast your vote today so the place you’re most proud of doesn’t lose out!

The Pride of Place Poll will close on Friday 30 November. There will then be local announcements confirming the Pride of Place for your area.
