Less than 15 miles, albeit a different county. I did read somewhere that most people live within a so many mile radius of where they were born!

About 15 miles but have lived in Oz and many other places. Came back to area because schools and quality of life better here . Also close to my Mum so she had a quality relationship with her grandchildren.

3 houses between the house I was born in and where I live now. Never lived anywhere other than this lane and can't imagine living anywhere else.
