Wise MNers, we're moving back to the UK after a number of years overseas.
We're looking to rent a house in an area with great state schools, both primary and secondary, close to good shopping/restaurants, access to nature, safe and beautiful/historic... If Windsor wasn't under the flight path, that's where we would go (just to give you an idea of a place we loved) and Edinburgh would also be a top choice if we didn't need to be close-ish to London.
We have a healthy budget so luckily that isn't really an issue. Within an hour of London would be ideal.
We think we've narrowed it down but as we're not currently in England it's hard to decide!
Questions: Is Winchester a good place to live or is it insular?
Is Farnham super sleepy?
I've read mixed reviews of St Albans, some love it and some say it's awful. Would love more insight into why it polarises people!
We're coming from a vibrant city and although we definitely want somewhere quieter than London we would need to have some life and culture nearby. Would really appreciate some insight!
