To want to move to Yorkshire/Cornwall without being able to drive?

[Firefretted]

Come October, I will have the freedom to move wherever I like. No responsibilities in terms of mortgage or kids etc. I've spent the past few years in big cities and am absolutely sick of pollution/constant music and noise/concrete jungles etc. I can work anywhere (frontline NHS role in a field experiencing severe staff shortages) and my main priority is to move somewhere beautiful!

I would love to move to either the Yorkshire Dales or Cornwall as both are stunning but am aware that public transport isn't brilliant in either place. Learning to drive isn't an option due to health reasons, unfortunately. If you live there without driving, how do you find it? Are there particular areas you would recommend, with good trains/bus links etc? I know these threads tend to get posters warning that rural life isn't all it's cracked up to be but I'd love to try for a year or two - if it doesn't work out I can move on again. All suggestions welcome, thank you!

Cornwall is very poor for public transport unless you're on the main line, and even then it's not great. Buses are particularly dreadful, poorly timetabled and many are at least part funded by the council and subject to cuts at short notice

You may want to check out the Plymouth to penzance trains and consider living in one of the towns along the railway line if the times fit with your work.
Also have you considered Barnstaple, Devon not Cornwall but a big hospital and close to the North Devon beaches

Someone else has already suggested some of the places I was going to say in yorkshire. But Silsden, steeton, cross hills are great. Not too rural and have good transport but not big towns or cities. Very near to nice places to go on walks and not near many people but also plenty of shops to access easily. Also the big thing would be there is a hospital in steeton, its airedale hospital. Most hospitals are in cities but this is just a town really. Plenty of buses there from nearby villages or could live in walking distance.
Lots of nice views and hills around as well.
