Me and hubby are thinking of relocating to Bath, we've visited there before and often talk about how much we'd love to live there. We currently live in a rough area in Devon and feeling really unhappy here. We're looking at towns surrounding as we like to live in quieter places but be able to get into a city for days out etc.
We have 2 DDs aged 4 and 3, our current area is really isolating for shopping, live music, secondary schools not great! I feel being close to Bath and with Bristol not too far, our children will have much better teen/young adult years. I grew up in London till I was 25 and it's too busy and expensive for me now but I had a great childhood and experienced so much! Also at just over a 2 hour drive, Bath doesn't feel so much like we're too far away from family (in Devon).
Please let me know thoughts on areas! I really love Bradford-on-avon but it is pricey, hence I was looking at Trowbridge as its more affordable as we will buy our first home and hoping to move to a forever home in Bradford-on-avon without moving too far. I've also heard it's not the best area there but budget wise we need to start low!
Work wise (if it helps!), I am a registered nurse, hubby a driving instructor.
We're heading up in Easter to check out areas so please drop some suggestions!
If you relocated up that way yourself, how do/did you find it? Did you stay? I have seen some older posts of the same nature, but keen to hear some updated recs!
