Relocating

[BaldBrown]

Hello everyone.

My husband and I currently live in London with our three children and have been wanting to relocate for some time. It is our hope to move to an area where we are surrounded by greenery and open space. We'd ideally love to have a plot of land.

As a black family who has never really spent any concentrated time in rural areas and as I have read a few worrying stories, I must admit that I am a tad nervous as to how we may be received in some parts of the country.

I wanted to get some honest opinion from those in the know. Is there anywhere that we should avoid? Equally, is there anywhere that would be welcoming? The area doesn't necessarily need to be diverse, just friendly and a great place to raise children.

Kind thanks

Hi there OP,

Just bumping this for you. Anyone know any nice, green, friendly places for the OP to look at?

We have been looking at moving for a year now and have not found the perfect area yet!

Sorry that's not helpful at all I hope someone comes and gives us both some good ideas

Hi

My husband & I are thinking about relocating down to Suffolk, we also have a young son so a nice community & good schools is important to us. Does anyone live in this lovely part of the country who can recommend any nice areas to look at?

Many thanks

I second the area around Halifax. Look up Hebden Bridge too, definitely an alternative welcoming vibe there... and absolutely stunning area. Trains too to Leeds and Manchester for your city fix!
