Suggestions for family-friendly rural areas between Bristol and Norwich to rent

Looking to move somewhere between Bristol and Norwich. We have families in both areas and its a 5 hour drive so we’d like to be somewhere between the two (thinking is a 2.5h drive is not so bad) we’re serial renters and we’d need. 3 bed for less than 1600.

Don’t care about / need a big city connection. Prefer to be rural with a big garden although we have two primary school aged children.

Would like to live somewhere pretty with walks etc but also would prefer somewhere not in a reform/tory stronghold.

Bonus points for distance to coast.

Chatgpt had suggestions but just wanted to approach some humans too.

2.5 hours from both means you’re near neither. You need to pick favourites in terms of family, housing cost, location and then commit to move there and make sure you regularly spend long weekend with the other lot.

Norwich has way better beaches & is far cheaper.
