Xela Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I take it for granted really because I've lived here for so long! I really like Lichfield. Considered moving there but decided on Four Oaks in the end,. I don't think I could live anywhere else in the country but Lichfield now to be honest. Warwick and Stratford upon Avon are other favourites of mine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I can see the sea from my bedroom window, walking distance from the coast, sandy beaches, rocky beaches, pebble beaches, walking distance from a country park, 15 minutes from the centre of a city, 10 minutes walk to a train station, 15 minute drive to the motorway, I can see a 7-11 Sainsbury a pub and a takeaway down the far end of my street. Quite like my gaff to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The holiday home I had in Wales was balls deep in the middle of nowhere. 40mins to Newtown and about an hour to Llandrindod Wells. We had acres and acres of forest to yomp around in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 See, I couldn't hack that, ok maybe a long weekend, a week absolute tops. But that middle of nowhere thing with just **** countryside to look at isn't for me. I'm amazed more farmers and country types don't go on shooting sprees. I'm very much a townie.

Wainy316 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What spot in the UK would be remote enough to live in peace but still close enough to a major town in case one needs to do a bit of shopping? I think it was Mark E Smith who said it best, 'Hit The North'. Some very picturesque countryside up this way, and plenty of towns and cities big enough for shopping etc. Depends on what you want to do / are doing for work, or how you'll be able to support yourself. After visiting a few times, I like the idea of living in Hebden Bridge, which is just about slap bang in the middle of Leeds & Manchester. But then you have to deal with Northern people who can't complete a sentence without telling you they're Northern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, I do find the further north you go, the friendlier people are (I've lived in Birmingham, Surrey at Uni, and County Durham). I could pretty much live anywhere, I have very little to hold me back from moving anywhere, and I choose to live in the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
