Would you want peace and quiet? Coast? Busy town?
North, South?
I am particularly interested in places which are quiet, but with shops, vets etc. but if you have any better suggestions please go ahead and suggest.
No schools needed - unlike most of the where shall I live threads on here.
(I am not actually retiring this week but wishful thinking and looking ahead with hope, and South would be easier and closer to family).

If you retired this week where would you move to in the UK (South maybe).

I'm near bournemouth and it's not quiet now all the Londoners have moved here, plus all the retired people in the numerous retirement flats.
I want to move away, probably to the Isle of Wight but can't whilst my kids still live at home.

I think its just that you have asked a tricky question!
I would probably choose Winchester as it’s near coast and New Forest but also a smart town with enough arty stuff going on.
Or possibly Folkestone.

Stay where you are when you retire. Why would you want somewhere new? If you hate where you live - move now whilst you’re still young enough to enjoy it.

Isle of Wight here. I 'retired' here 5yrs ago. Love it!
