I am thinking of moving to devon to be closer to the coast and country and have a better outdoor lifestyle and would appreciate advice from anyone with local knowledge on potential areas to live.
We currently live in a market town in the Midlands and have three children 5,6 and 10 so secondary schools in particular will be important. Will also need to commute to exeter and would like to be close to facilities for the kids such as sports centres, shopping, clubs etc.
We came down last week to have a look around and thought that newton abbott, although not the prettiest, seemed fairly central and have everything you would need for day to day life.
I've noticed on these forums however that it doesn't seem to attract very good reviews and wonder what it is that people don't seem to like? Also if anyone has any other ideas of places to look at?
Thanks in advance.
