North Yorkshire vs West Sussex

[Twopoodlesarebetterthanone]

I'm planning on relocating from Jersey next year. Budget for a house to be mortgage free is 425k for a 3 bed (or 2 bed with extra reception). One of my sons needs post 16 SEN provision so am looking at Chichester college, York College or possibly Eastleigh College.

I'm looking for a place to settle permanently with my son that has a safe and friendly community feel for us both with good off lead dog walks and trail running and biking from the door and nearby culture relatively accessible.

Given these options where would you choose?

Oh, congratulations! Brilliant news. I hope it all goes smoothly.

I drove through Stockton on the Forest and Flaxton today and was thinking how lovely the whole area is.

Thank-you @Leftoverssandwich Yes, it is. I’m hopefully moving to Dunnington 😍

Yay - good choice!! I recommended Malton originally, but you've ended up with a village a couple of miles from where we live. If you go for a walk there's a chance you could end up walking the footpath past our house!!

@Oakdog yes I will be walking (two poodles!) so looking forward to checking out all the off lead walk possibilities

Will keep an eye out for you 😉
