If you could live anywhere in UK, with the only criteria being ...

[ijudge]

It was a 15 min drive from a beach, where would pick?

Seaton Carew

Only joking

Mousehole

Gower or Pembrokeshire

Or if money was tight, Barry Island!

one of the Western Isles

or brighton, mibbe.

Dorset coast. Without a doubt.

Exactly where depends on how urban/ rural you want to be. I am a 15 min walk from the beach and love it.

Braunton in Devon - which is very possible

or North West Wales which sadly isn't but still beautiful for visits

Northumberland for a rural location, or Tynemouth for a more 'towny' setting.

Hayle, Nr St Ives

North Wales.

Ryde on the Isle of Wight where I live about 20 mins walk from the sea.

Cowes is nice as well in fact everywhere apart from Newport on the IOW is nice

I would buy a helicopter and stay living where I live, thus could get to the beach in 15 minutes

Oh well, if we're allowed helicopters, I'd move to Isle of Mull and use the heli to get back to urbanity and convenience when the mood took me

Right where I am now.. wirral

Where I live now, on the Antrim coast just 10 minutes walk from the Giants Causeway. The scenery is stunning but there are very few people about so its very peaceful, the whole country only has a population of 1.7-1.8 million who live mainly in the cities and towns so the rural parts of the country are very isolated which I like

Lamorna Cove or Gwithian or Zennor maybe... all in Cornwall.

St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.

Mellon Udrigle, Wester Ross, Scotland.

Antrim coast or St Andrews

I second the Wirral!

North Norfolk.

North Norfolk.

OMG Viva - how weird was that?

Somewhere on the West Coast of Scotland - may in the Oban area. Or possibly Orkney (bit dark in winter though).

For the first 27 years of my life (part from a 8 month hiatus) I never lived more than a 5 minute walk from a beach.

I would go back to North Devon - and either live near Lee Abbey, Saunton or Putsborough.

Tregurrian Cornwall.

It's where that bloody Jamie Oliver decided to put 15 Cornwall :(

So if I can't get him to close it and move elsehwere I'd choose Mawgan Porth or Trevarrian.
