I’m following this, as would like to move nearer family, who have just relocated to Devizes. We don't need to be in same town, but have visited, and liked places mentioned. Would like to be able to access Tarka Trail without driving to it, can’t do anything fo various reasons until 2022.

Devizes is about 100 miles from the Tarka Trail

Yes, I know it’s still a good distance. Location as yet not decided, be in same place or a distance.  Love the Kennet and Avon too. Just want a nice place to be able to walk and or cycle regularly alongside.

We are looking in North West Somerset now which is a lovely area.  Going down on Friday for 10 days or more if necessary.  Have done a few viewings there on day trips (250 mile round trip) it doesn't seem quite so crazy as the Devon property market, and just as attractive, well at least we are getting viewings now.

You've made up a council area, but if you mean West Somerset or Taunton Deane I'm with you on that. I might be there too if I wasn't here!

Watch out in Sedgemoor and parts of Taunton Deane for flooding issues. Sometimes houses are cheaper there for a reason. I'd be surprised if property near the coast between Porlock and Watchet was as reasonable as in Mid Devon. I was up there a few weeks back and I definitely had 'poor relation' thoughts in some of the villages!
