If you could live anywhere....

... in the UK, where would it be?

I've recently been made full time remote working and am seriously thinking about selling up and moving somewhere for a lifestyle change. I currently live in a Warwickshire village but dreaming of somewhere near the sea.

Looking for inspiration Smile

London. I left 8 years ago and I miss it.

@vampirethriller yes I hear you, I loved living in London in my twenties. Not sure it would be the same with 2 kids

Cromer or Sheringham in Norfolk are very nice. Well connected by rail/bus to Norwich, which is a great little city.

I'd move to Sherringham in a heart beat! It'd save me lots of driving for work as most of my visits are in that neck of the woods.

I can't convince the children that it would be better than living in a Suffolk market town.

As soon as they are done with school I'm upping sticks to make it home

Dartmouth.

Northumberland coast somewhere.

Montrose

London but I love city life. I lived by the coast and hated it, too slow and boring for me.

Not the UK. 😂

Scottish Highlands.

heidbuttsupper · 02/08/2021 21:24

Shetland!

MaggieFS · 02/08/2021 21:24

Funnily enough, a nice Warwickshire village would suit me well, and the only thing I'd leave for would be a sea view sorry not helpful.

Anglesey

AWiseWomanOnceSaidFuckThisShit · 02/08/2021 21:31

On a marina in a big massive boat. They are so peaceful!

CatCup · 02/08/2021 21:32

Isle of wight but schools are not good

AdoptedBumpkin · 02/08/2021 21:49

I like where I am (Derbyshire) but there are lots of places I would try if I had unlimited time. Pembrokeshire, Anglesey, the Highlands, Somerset, Cornwall to name a few.

Argyll and Bute

Golden sands and the sound and sight of the sea from my bedroom window.

AdditionalCharacter · 02/08/2021 22:36

Bamburgh or Alnwick

ILoveAnOwl · 02/08/2021 22:41

Within 5 miles of Aylsham (Norfolk), St Just (Cornwall) or Truro.

MagentaIsGreen · 03/08/2021 00:25

Orkney. But only if global warming adds another 15 degrees.
