Hi We are relocating at the end of Jan with my partner's work and would love some insider knowledge on what area would be a pleasant place to live. We have two young children 2 and 4 and good schools are important as is things to do which are child friendly. I like semi rural areas, so a good community village would be ideal which is quiet but has activities as a Mum I can get involved in. We plan to do a short break to have a look around too. Ideally I'd like a place which has either social services or NHS/private hospital near by (within 45-1 hour max commute) as I am nearly an occupational therapist so would be job hunting too in April/May time. We love the outdoors, walks and beaches are a must. We don't want much lol!
Thanks for any advice you can give. We are excited to be moving down.
