If you could live anywhere in the UK...

Shetland. I went there on holiday this year and thought it was amazing. Applied for a few jobs with the idea of moving, then realised how impractical it would be (the job was part-time & temp so wouldn't pay enough to rent anywhere). I still have plans to move, but need to sort a few problems and get my house ready to sell first. I can dream :-)0

Argyle and Bute, right on the Clyde and amazing scenery to walk in while just over an hour from Glasgow. If I could find a way to make money remotely I'd be gone.
That would be like living in the Key section of a map where all the symbols are jammed together.;)There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Lived all over the UK myself..from North east...Nortwest... East and West mids and currently in the South east.
The best was in Northwest... particularly the Liverpool / Wirral side.
Friendly people, affordable, close enough to city life and rural life. Whichever you want. Defo where I would move back to in a heartbeat. But with an expanding family and commitments down south...not for now at least.365 Day 1p challenge - £371.49 / 667.95

Moved from Brum to Kingsbridge ( South Hams, Devon ) 12 years ago. Love it here.
Although a lot of holiday-makers arrive in Summer, it is a proper working town ( unlike Salcombe, which is dead out of season ) and a great community spirit.
Short drive to several beaches, and you can get out to the open sea via the estuary that comes into centre of town.
Excellent schools also.0 -
Yes, the location is very good.Moved from Brum to Kingsbridge ( South Hams, Devon ) 12 years ago. Love it here.
According to Zoopla, the average house price paid in Kingsbridge is around £381k . Compare that to Bideford, with a similar sort of location at around £238k, and you see there's a North/South divide in Devon as well as in the country as a whole.
A brief bit of research shows it's still possible to buy a detached 3 bed in Kingsbridge, but it won't be as spacious and well-featured as one the same money will buy in North Devon.0 -
Chester is a great place to live. Love the architecture, close to north wales and Liverpool and Manchester.0
