If you could live anywhere in the UK where would you go?

[Wflwer]

Currently considering a relocation from London and quite a free bird on location. Would love to know where everyone would love to move to!

Flamborough 🩷

Somewhere wild and rugged, coast, moorland or mountains. and as far from the madding crowd as I could get, however since such rural idles are way over my budget i'm stuck where I am!

Dorset or Cornwall

I agree - l am not far from Colchester and it is a giant housing estate from Tollgate to Highwoods and then some.

West Dorset, Devon or Cornwall in a coastal location.

I'd want a house in the Isle of Wight for the spring and summer and a flat in London in the autumn and winter. Best of both worlds.

The Cairngorms. Ballater Braemar etc.

I moved from Oxfordshire to the NW Lakes a few years back and it’s been the best decision ever!!

Im now mortgage free and own a stunning Victorian terrace, 4 floors, 5 beds (does need some renovation) for £150k that over looks the sea with the sun setting over it every day.
The beach is 2 mins walk away.
Closest Lake is 15 mins, mountains and fells the same.
Lovely towns, marinas and beaches.

Train station to Carlisle which then takes you to loads of places.

Cumbrian people are super friendly.

its a slower way of life here, more community focused, like the rest of England was 20 years ago.

it’s paradise here x

Wales

I’d move to the Isle of Wight - no motorways or bloody ring roads!

Looking across to the mainland and sticking the Vs up to it 😬🤭

Devon or Cornwall

The Gower, Highgate or Edinburgh. For very different reasons!

Bath

Jersey or shropshire

It's lovely but does get rammed in the summer

Pimlico. This would do nicely.

Where I live now in beautiful Edinburgh. Just walking around the city lifts the heart.

That does sound lovely. Cumbria is gorgeous.

The weather is dryer in the south east I do envy you that living in Wales. The west is generally wetter.

Depressing isn't it! I live in a village on the outskirts of Colchester, but it's slowly being destroyed. My local woods have been hacked down to make way for a new estate, and at the other end of the village a second giant estate has been grafted onto the village. Well, I say estate, but it's more like a mini town. And now another load of houses are being built two miles away. It just never ends. No matter how many of these disgusting rabbit hutches they jam on top of one another, we always need more, more, more.

My quality of life has deteriorated SO much. We're coming into the Spring now, but I won't bother visiting any beauty spots on the first nice day. What's the point? I'll just sit in traffic and then won't get parked. And even if I do, there will be people everywhere. And instead of birdsong, all you hear in the distance is the screeching of car engines, or the horrible banging/backfiring sound of modified exhausts. There are too many people. It's as simple as that.

£11.5 million and no parking. No grass.
Right in the centre of London.
Not for me! Not even if you paid me.

I like where I live and probably wouldn’t want to live anywhere else (in the uk) but there are lots of lovely places that I feel would be ok to live, Cotswolds, Shropshire, Devon/Dartmoor or Pembrokeshire. Wouldn’t want to live in a city but I do like visiting them.

SW coast of Scotland, Pure bliss. Everything you could ever need is within 60 minutes, city, countryside and coast, what else do you need?

Seconded. We're still here, despite all the development and increased traffic, and the awful prospect of Welborne, for the following reasons (which only just outweigh a decision to move - for now):

The marina on the Hamble where we keep our boat is within walking distance of home.
Easy access to the Isle of Wight.
Portsmouth ferry port is 15 minutes down the motorway on a good day.
Heathrow is about an hour away - again, on a good day.

If and when we move, it'll be to Cornwall for family reasons.

North Yorkshire coast. Filey maybe.
