Moving away to a new area away from friends and mother

Dh is thinking of moving jobs, and lots of far flung places have come up such as Exeter which I've never been to but fantasize as a lovely historic town, near to beaches, lovely countryside, great work/life balance etc.
Problem is it's miles away from my friends and most importantly my mum who I'm very close to and is a great help with the Dcs. She works full time and wouldn't and the time or money to be able to visit nearly as often as she does now.
I sometimes think that other people would be a lot more enthusiastic and positive in this situation and would just go for it, whereas the thought of such a big change just makes me feel a bit low and depressed.
Does anyone have any good/bad experience of "starting afresh"?

We moved a year ago this month and I couldn't be happier. Bigger house, better schools, more greenery, closer to my family, further from mil . DS and dd has settled into school and nursery and made loads of friends, I have made some really good friends with some mums, all in all very positive.
