    I've recently moved to a small village in West Yorkshire. The village has two pubs, a tearoom and a post office/small shop, with a regular bus service to Hebden Bridge and Halifax. I can walk down the hill to Hebden Bridge in about 15 minutes (longer going uphill coming home) where there are small shops, more cafes, a cinema, library and buses and trains to more destinations.

    People are friendly and welcoming, with a large number of incomers like me and my partner (I'm 54 and he's 47 and commutes to Manchester by train).

    We moved from the Manchester area and the only regret is not having done it years earlier!
    Retired in 2015.
    Moved to Ireland September 2017
