If you could retire anywhere, U.K. or abroad, where would it be?

[complicatedsitu]

As it says really. Where in the U.K., or abroad, would you retire if you could choose anywhere?

And why?

If money was no object? To a nice big house on the south side of Edinburgh.

Yep. What she said.
Edinburgh.
Is lush, many happy memories, want my ashes sprinkled there (even though it is one hilly bastard).

Yes, I think money no object!

Interesting two for Edinburgh!

In the UK I’d go to Brighton, lovely beach and everything within walking distance. Abroad, I’d love a beach house in a traditional village in Spain/Italy/Greece near stunning beaches and with hot temperatures for most of the year.

A big house right on Hampstead Heath.

All the green views outside my window and all the delights of London to keep me young at heart and stop me from becoming boring.

To France or Greece. Not this country.

South West France

North Norfolk. Put of my price range sadly.

Isle Of Purbeck (Dorset).

Not really certain why we aren't already living there, maybe it is because if we were there, we would want to be back in our current home (Cotswolds).🤔

A posh leafy part of London with good public transport links to the city centre.

A mansion block apartment in St John's Wood.
Or on the south coast with a sea view.

A place with a nice warm climate all year, thank you.

Nice bit of Majorca and a bolthole in Hampstead or Richmond -but plenty of cash to travel elsewhere too

France.

I'd stay where I am.

Good access to hospitals, and to public transport. Close to my family.
Most importantly lots of communities around me from things I've been involved in throughout my life.

Agree with @Greebosmum : North Norfolk for the beaches and countryside and climate and community. House prices are lower if you come a bit further in from the coast.

Burnham Market.

Munich

Vienna
Northern Spain or SW France
SE Ireland
Corsica
Leafy London
Berlin
Slovenia

Somewhere warm!! I'm so fed up of being cold all the time!

Italy probably.

In the UK
, Richmond or Edinburgh
Abroad, Soller in north Mallorca

I plan to spend winters on my ranch in Texas and summers in Europe, but have a home base somewhere in the countryside in southern England.

I live in Edinburgh currently and quite honestly can't wait to get out of the place! Current plan is to head to Highlands when I retire in the next 2 years.

I do too and feel the same. Pot holed roads, useless govt, awful weather. Hordes of tourists. Covid has
made everything worse too. So many businesses closed or never got back to normal. Shops full of tourist tat. Overpriced restaurants selling poor quality food.

@beachcitygirl we are going to be after the same places- lol!!
