Need to relocate to make a new start in life - any info on any of the nicer towns/villages in teh above areas would be great... good primary schools needed!
Any info on where to avoid be handy too!
Thanks

Haven't read all of this but Cirenceseter, and the villages towards Lechlade: Hatherop (v good private school), Eastleach, Southrop etc. are lovely areas and I miss it dearly. V jealous of you if you end up there. Good Luck

WTGO - Good choice and when you find somewhere - welcome neighbour (almost) I'm not far from Corsham!!

Oi!!! Stop knocking Bridgy......lived there for nearly 20 years and I'm not a native. People here are really friendly - my kids can play out in our street and everybody looks out for everyone else. Admittedly I don't got out in the town centre on Thurs, Fri or Sat nights..... they're usually still hosing the blood of the walls at 9 the next morning... Wink

But it's OK basically and within reach of the Levels, Quantocks and Exmoor.

But if the OP has been convinced by all the prejudice Wink, I would recommend Taunton. Don't like anywhere much in N Somerset...I was brought up near WSM and hate, hate , hate it with a passion!!!! Went to school in Clevedon and feel the same about that. Bristol is a nice city but not too keen on anywhere on the outskirts. Depressing places.

Ideally I'd live in a village between Taunton and Bridgwater somewhere....westwards rather than East ...but I suppose you are more remote that way.

PeachyClair - just a hunch but did you run Rainbows in Bridgwater. Apologies if not.... Smile
