Best place to live in the uk ?

Kate Kestrel

Looking for advice! We are looking to move house - and are doing research into where to move to. So thought I’d ask on here: where do you think is the most lively place to live in the uk? Most beautiful, most friendly, best quality of life etc etc? We don’t want to live in the middle of a big city, but apart from that have an open mind. We love nature so access to nature is a big priority. Would love to hear people’s views on this! Thanks!

  • I live in fairly rural County Durham but I can drive to Newcastle and Durham within half an hour. The countryside is lovely and northern people tend to have a reputation of being friendly.

    Thank you - it’s not an area I e considered yet - but I will investigate! I’ve heard of Alnwick - that’s supposed to be really nice I think? I find it really interesting that some parts of the uk have a reputation for being more friendly than others. Who wouldn’t want to live around more friendly people after all - it’s a definite advantage!

    The Northumbrian coast is lovely with some delightful towns. I like Morpeth as it's large enough with plenty of amenities and has good transport links. 

    I do like a nice market town. Further south west have Hexham and Corbridge (which is quite small). Much further south is Stamford which is nearish to Peterborough is delightful, it can be very busy.
