Moving to devon!! HELP!!

[tqui]

Hi guys- due to my mums health me my husband 4 children (under 6) pregnant with 5th arw planning on moving to devon!! We go over every year for a holiday and love it! We are about 4-5 hours away so it's quite a big move!! I need some help though! Were nice to move to? Where's good for children to grow up? Where's not so nice to live? Also, my husbands a self employed builder.. does anyone know what the building works like up in devon?
Thankyou so much for any advice or help!!

Hi I moved to East Devon 6 years ago and really like it here but it was a bit of a culture shock! I am childfree but friends with children consider it a good place for them to grow up, although they expect them to move away later as the employment prospects are limited. There is a fair bit of building going on but nothing like it is up country. There's always building-type work in demand everywhere though surely? I can't think of any 'not nice' places in Devon but North, Central and West can be more isolated/tumbleweed town compared with South/East Devon. But the latter is generally more expensive! Depends what you are looking for really! I love the outdoors life and playing sports/socialising and find Devon good for that :)
