If you could live anywhere in the UK...

Live in Newcastle and wouldn't live anywhere else.

That's high on our list for all of your reasons! Also it has a GREAT NHS Trust

I'm perfectly happy with my small bit of land in Norfolk

Also on our list - we've been looking at houses in the Broads, so beautiful

OH and I both work in the NHS, so could work in lots of places from that perspective.

Work as what though e.g. would you at least want to be within commuting distance of a reasonable-sized hospital? (which would enable you to rule out options like Barra...)

Plenty of demand for primary care everywhere though.

I always wanted to live in central London and finally made it 9 years ago so I don't want to live anywhere else.

I've never understood why people would want to live, or more, retire in a place remote from a hospital.

Cities are the future; I'm happy living on the edge of one (when I walk the dog, I cross the city boundary), but I'd never live far away from one.

If you want to make friends you’re best off heading north!

I always think i’d like to live by the sea, so somewhere semi-rural enough to be green and not heavily polluted but within commuting distance of either Liverpool or Newcastle would be good. The Wirral maybe?

We're both from Hampshire originally - moved away twelve years ago and wouldn't want to go back even though I spent the first few years regretting the move

Since then we've lived in Essex, Wiltshire and the West Midlands. DH would happily go back to Wilts (we were in a rural area near the Dorset border) but I would be less keen.

We both love our current location in very rural Carmarthenshire, a stone's throw from the Brecon Beacons - and even though our family are a long way off in East Sussex, Hampshire and Cornwall we've no intention of moving again.......

Well if Newcastle is on your list, add Durham, even nicer, with the same nice people.

A large 5 bedroom detached property in Hull would be my dream home.

We’ve done it! Moved in December from Essex to Cumbria purely for the love of it. Sold the house, quit our jobs, and came.

Seven months on we’re both out of probation at our new jobs and have recently had an offer accepted on a house.

Friendly people, wonderful pace of life, and so much less traffic! If you’re in Essex you’ll understand when I say that the M6 (which runs through the county) in rush hour is about as busy as the A12 at 11pm. :rotfl:

The north-west isn’t for you if you like a dry climate though.
