If you had to live near an ice rink?

[Raywayy]

If you had to live near an ice rink anywhere in the uk, where would you live? I want to move within walking distance of an ice pad and I have no connection to anywhere. Please can you hit me with your excellent suggestions? 🙏

Whitley bay!

How far is walking distance for you?

As a child I lived near Ally Pally, bet those houses are £££££ now though

Surely most places other than very rural are within reasonable distance from an ice rink

Which part of the country do you like now, op?

Maybe 45 mins walk max? But as near as possible.

Walking distance?

Guildford or Streatham

I don't really have any particular affinity to anywhere in the uk.

Cambridge

Stirling

Altrincham.

Do you have a budget for housing? Being near Solihull ice rink is going to be a lot more expensive than Billingham for example.

Not Deeside! Avoid.

I will be renting and I will be at the more budget end of the market but it may not be a permanent move. Hoping for a house share.

Another vote for Altrincham.
The ice rink is a 5 minute walk from my house!

Dundonald in NI - budget friendly!

@SgtJuneAckland you've clearly never been to Norfolk. No ice rinks or diving boards in the whole county or Suffolk (or motorways) for that matter we have to trek 3 hours drive to Cambridge if we want to use either.

Sheffield south Yorkshire, thinks there might be one in Barnsley too

What part of Norfolk are you in that Cambridge is 3 hours away?! 2 max even from North Norfolk.

Does that mean the one on Norwich (more or less next to the big Asda) has closed?

There's Planet Ice in Peterborough

Sheffield or Nottingham.

The link centre in Swindon has a good ice rink

There's none in Cumbria.

Connah's Quay in North Wales has an ice rink. I imagine housing would be cheaper than other areas.
