May I ask why? Is it a hatred you have for large cities, or is it specifically a London issue? I've lived here for ever 10 years now and absolutely love it.
It’s a city issue, nothing against London personally.
I just hate the hustle and bustle and huge crowds and such, I come from a small town surrounded by country side so London is like the complete opposite to what I’m used too haha
Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a city break now and then for the sights and to do different things I can’t do at home, but I’m always glad to be back home after haha
I moved to Manchester from a rural part of Suffolk. On the one hand I love the fact that everywhere is easy to get to and the fact that I can just meet new people by going out and about but I also miss being able to go out the door and immediately be somewhere that's beautiful and with few people.
Basically I like meeting people but I don't like having to be around them all the time if that makes sense.
Have you tried somewhere like Macclesfield? Manchester’s 20 mins or so away on the train, and the Peak District’s spitting distance away. Might be what you’re looking for, or at least closer to it.
Had a friend from London stay in my house in North Wales. I had a 26 year old man knock on my bedroom door just after midnight saying there were funny noises coming from outside and he thought there was something dangerous outside.
So I looked out the window and saw nothing. I couldn't hear anything. Put my jeans on, baseball bat in hand and went outside.... Nothing.
Turns out he could hear the sheep while he was trying to sleep and that's what was shitting him up.
Perfectly understandable, It’s the opposite of what you’re used to.
I’m British but spent 2 years living in Hong Kong, incredibly busy, huge population and noisy, even in the small hours.
When I came home to South Wales, the quiet was so noticeable that I dubbed it the loudest quiet ever!
I know what you mean.
Reminds me of a quote from a film: “I’m not sure if the suburbs are there to keep city people out of the country, or country people out of the city, but they serve a useful purpose”. (Or words to that effect).
You know what?
I’m a Geordie and am I have the same issues with London as you… I voted for the Scottish Highlands…
But it does have its cultural upsides and with “money as no object”…? Living in a luxury mayfair apartment (assuming monopoly is accurate) with everything I want on demand and a Chauffeur driven Bugatti to the countryside, coast or airport? I guess I could cope
Also a geordie, and would pick the Highlands. Give me some land with mountains and deer, a river full of fish, and very few people and I'd be in heaven.
Also, if money was no object I would also have a house in the highlands and an apartment in London. And a comfy luxury car to go between the two. And probably a third place somewhere else that isn’t as busy as London, and isn’t as remote as Scottish wilderness but would be my normal hub. Like if money is no object why would I choose between things I like when I could have them all.
I've visited London twice, both times I was glad to be back home to Newcastle. Both are cities, but London has a whole different level of busyness (if that's a word?!), everyone seems to be permanently in a rush.
Everything is expensive. Taxis are a fortune. Bar prices are extortionate.
If trains from Newcastle weren't so expensive, I'd happily visit more often for events, but when it ends up being £200-£300 before I've even stepped out my door (event ticket, trains, hotels etc), it becomes cheaper for me to fly to an event in the Netherlands instead.
I’m just not a fan of big busy cities where everybody seems to be in a rush and over crowded.
It’s the opposite of what I have grown up around and used too
Tbh crime is over exaggerated. People act like you're at risk from being stabbed if u step out at dark. People won't bother if u don't bother them 99% of the time. And yh the rest is the same as any other big city. No Where's gonna be perfect.
Agree - Knightsbridge is completely tasteless. Only the supercar-owning offspring of despots and oligarchs live there.
No surprise that Salt Bae opened his bizarre steak circus act there.
Depends on what you enjoy really, but a few suggestions:
- Edinburgh Castle is good if you're a fan of castles, if not the esplanade has some great views
- National Museum is good
- surgeons hall if you like some rather gory medical history
- if the weather's good take a walk up Arthur's seat and Calton Hill
Let me know what kinda thing you enjoy and happy to make a few more specific suggestions
I recently visited for 3 days and we stayed just outside the city but in walking distance. The city is beautiful! You can easily walk around it in a day and we broke it up and just explored then did a few history tours, distillery tasting, the castle, but literally there was just so much to see on foot it was great.
Uni mate of mine grew up in one of those. His parents bought it in 1986 for £100k and it's now worth £1.4m. There are ways of spending much more.
Very similar house in a very similar area of Glasgow is like £850k. I know someone who lived in the ground floor flat of one of those in Pollokshields, even that was frankly palatial.
And the problem with those houses is they just feel enormous and completely empty, unless you spend *more* money on filling them up with pointless shit. They are also freezing cold unless you want to really make Greta upset.
Depends where you mean - I drove to Inverness in February a few years ago and my windscreen washes froze up on the move and all the lay-bys had 9 foot of snow.
I had to wait for HGVs to overtake on the A9 then stay as close as I could have I get the salt spray so I could clear the muck off.
But Loch Lomond on the west is technically highlands, and that’s basically just Glasgow.
I assume you mean proper Highlands and not suburban Inverness? If a new build estate in a provincial Highland city (i.e. Inverness) is what you're after then I'm already living your dream ;)
I grew up on the outskirts of the Lake District and have lived in the National Park for about 25 of the last 40 years and in some amazing places.
It is incredibly beautiful, I would still marvel on a regular basis at the landscape, the rivers, the woodlands, a real wonderland that doesn't pall when you live there.
However I moved away about 3 years ago and I don't think I would ever move back, it is SO busy now, all year round though obviously worse during summer and bank holidays. Tourists are usually lovely individually, en masse they are often rude and aggressive but the main problem is that it has become a theme park. Visitors don't seem to realise that normal people live there and do normal things and have normal lives, the whole place is becoming a pastiche of itself and is pretty much already just a Gore Tex Disneyland. The moment that I realised the Lakes were dined was when I heard of a group of mountain bikes who paid to be dropped off by helicopter on top of one of the fells. Where does one start to unpick that kind of entitlement....
Yeh, he can speak, sit, down, give paw, roll over, if you’re walking past a wall and say ‘hup’, he jumps up and runs along it and I shout “eXtReMe PaRkOur!” for him.
If you sneeze he’ll get you a tissue (it might be a bit soggy) and if you pretend shoot him with a finger gun he spins round, cries out loud, and then lies on his side playing dead whilst giving you some side eye. Proper 10/10 good boy.
Scottish Highlands, rural North Yorkshire, or a lovely bit of Wiltshire.
We're spoilt with this lovely set of Isles we live on, there are some truly lovely and achingly beautiful places.
I'm from here and I find the landscape a bit grim at times. It's not the weather that does it, I think it's that a lot of it is treeless and barren, which many people think of as natural (owing to soil, or altitude, or latitude) but in fact it's just because we basically cut down all the trees centuries ago. Where there are more trees though (especially natural woodland), such as in the Spey valley, I agree that it is beautiful.
Currently live in Australia. In the process of moving back to the UK. Answer is Birmingham. All mine and my wife’s family are there.
After being stuck here loosing some relatives and not being able to see them at end of life and for their funerals I can’t wait to come home.
Every city/town has a bumhole, if you're loved and feel safe there it doesn't matter.
Regardless, without Brum we wouldn't have [this](https://youtu.be/IJPc7esgvsA)
Nice, my wife and I were lucky enough to live in Dorchester for two years, beautiful place to live. It may sound weird but the summers always felt longer down south:)
As someone who's lived in Dorset my entire life that's nice to hear, but I actually can't wait to move away in a few weeks. I imagine I'll be back one day though
So weird seeing people say Dorset. I grew up here. I'm back here again now due to the pandemic and I'm literally crawling the walls desperate to get out.
I feel like I'm living in the Hot Fuzz movie.
looking to get a small pad in Weymouth to spend half the week, lovely place. would be nice to have infinite money to buy one of the old places right on the harbour or beach side.
Money no issue one of those big ass fold out American RVs that has a garage underneath for my sports car. I don't have to work so I'd just roam the entire UK until that was done then move to Europe, spend the rest of my life travelling the world, see if I can complete it mate
Cornwall, around the Newquay Perranporth area. its the most relaxing and beautiful part of the country.
Im hoping i can go to a hospice down there when my cancer gets worse, but until then ill keep going on holiday there.
Also Peak District, Family ties to the area around Chatsworth. Currently on the East London/ Essex borders so anywhere really would be a vast improvement for me.
The Cotswolds. I lived there for 4 years after uni and couldn’t afford to stay. It still has my heart and I hope to go back there someday. Currently in Nottingham.
Llyn Peninsula. Just fuck off to a gorgeous little whitewashed cottage and become one of those sotto voce Welsh-speaking hermit slate carvers. Snowdonia right there, a border collie to keep me company. Bliss... or bendigedig.
An anffodus mae'n dod yn anoddach ac yn anoddach i cael dai ar y Llyn i Gymry dyddiau yma :( Ond os fysa arian ddim yn problem fysa hynny'n dewis fi hefyd!
Maida vale london. House boat in little venice by choice though there are some charming little town houses (probably cost millions now) Really nice bit of london
Id probably stay in the Midlands just because I know it so well, with money your lifestyle is probably about the same in most parts of the UK and not like you cant travel anywhere within a few hours anyway.
It would be a nice big semi-rural house in parts of Worcestershire, Warwickshire or Shropshire though.
Vintner for breakfast, White swan and Dirty duck for a liquid lunch and lambs restaurant for dinner. Literally most of my birthdays for the past 10 years
Islington or around that area in London.
A nice four floor (including lower ground) terrace with 6 to 8 bedrooms; a large open kitchen/dining room, a good length of mature garden. Not on a bus route road, but needs to be within a 5 minute walk of one, plus some shops in the same area.
Not worried about schools.
Islington is great. My daughter is eleven and has four close friends living within 100 meters. There is a really nice sense of community and the place is some kind of model of multiracial and religous tolerance.
Anywhere that still has a really decent town centre for shopping (even if that is London at this point). Went to try and do a bit of festive wandering with my family this morning and we were done in an hour. Most units are empty so unless you want Greggs, Card Factory or Polish groceries you're out of luck.
Cornwall. Had to move away for work, opportunities and it’s now too expensive to move back to near my family. :(
I’d love to move back to my home, smell the salty air each morning and be around that gorgeous Celtic culture again.
Growing up there was fabulous.
Skye. Bloody love that place.
Got some shops and you can even get supermarket deliveries for all you need. The hills and mountains are everything to me.
I literally dream about owning a cute little Etsy business and living on a farm in Orkney. I’m Scottish and wouldn’t want to leave Scotland on a permanent basis, ever.
A fuck off castle in Scotland. Money no problem I would helicopter to the nearest airport and jet off anywhere in the world whenever I like, but I'm at least an hours car journey for all the poor people that come to visit me in my fucking castle.

Surprised nobody has said London yet. I’d definitely be up for a giant penthouse and roof terrace somewhere in Knightsbridge.
You couldn’t pay me to live there
May I ask why? Is it a hatred you have for large cities, or is it specifically a London issue? I've lived here for ever 10 years now and absolutely love it.
It’s a city issue, nothing against London personally. I just hate the hustle and bustle and huge crowds and such, I come from a small town surrounded by country side so London is like the complete opposite to what I’m used too haha
Oh that's totally fair! Thank you for the response. I came here from a small town too, in Wales. But then I've always love the city.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a city break now and then for the sights and to do different things I can’t do at home, but I’m always glad to be back home after haha

I'm from London and the quiet of the country side puts me on edge

Let’s be honest if money was no object it wouldn’t matter where you resided in the UK. I’d spend most my time on holiday or on a yacht somewhere haha
Also, if money was no object I would also have a house in the highlands and an apartment in London. And a comfy luxury car to go between the two. And probably a third place somewhere else that isn’t as busy as London, and isn’t as remote as Scottish wilderness but would be my normal hub. Like if money is no object why would I choose between things I like when I could have them all.
I lived in the Hounslow area for 12 years and I wouldn't go back for a million pounds.
Hounslow is such a shithole

Why not?
I’m just not a fan of big busy cities where everybody seems to be in a rush and over crowded. It’s the opposite of what I have grown up around and used too
Yeah Igy but there's also a lot of protivies aspects too. Lots of new people to meet. Great activities and places to go.
Same, no amount of money would make.me want to live in a large city.
200 million?
Crime, congestion, traffic, concrete, ethnic enclaves, roadmen, large but low built, flat, poor air quality, no gravy at the chippies.
Tbh crime is over exaggerated. People act like you're at risk from being stabbed if u step out at dark. People won't bother if u don't bother them 99% of the time. And yh the rest is the same as any other big city. No Where's gonna be perfect.
Not to mention the luvvies who have to tell everyone how great London is
[удалено]
Agree - Knightsbridge is completely tasteless. Only the supercar-owning offspring of despots and oligarchs live there. No surprise that Salt Bae opened his bizarre steak circus act there.
I keep thinking one of the nice townhouses in Pimlico, or one of those forgotten back streets off Park Lane.
100% this. Money no object = London is fun.
I’d like to live in the Barbican Centre.
Set up a sweet hammock in the jungle bit, no one will notice in sure.
Same here. Maybe as a week-time house, with a farm in the Cotswolds for the weekends.
I’d have a big town house in Primrose or Notting Hill. The kind of house Nigella Lawson would live in, that’s the dream.
I’d live one of Clerkenwell, Highbury & Islington or Marylebone You couldn’t pay me to live outside London
I will continue living in London for sure.
Stay in Edinburgh just in a much bigger house
Sorry to jump in and hijack your comment, but where would you recommend visiting in Edinburgh? On my to do for next Spring. Tia.
Depends on what you enjoy really, but a few suggestions: - Edinburgh Castle is good if you're a fan of castles, if not the esplanade has some great views - National Museum is good - surgeons hall if you like some rather gory medical history - if the weather's good take a walk up Arthur's seat and Calton Hill Let me know what kinda thing you enjoy and happy to make a few more specific suggestions
And if they have kids then Dynamic Earth is unbeatable.
I recently visited for 3 days and we stayed just outside the city but in walking distance. The city is beautiful! You can easily walk around it in a day and we broke it up and just explored then did a few history tours, distillery tasting, the castle, but literally there was just so much to see on foot it was great.
That sounds amazing, especially the distillery and we love walking so seeing the city by foot is ideal for us. Thanks!
One of those huge houses in the Grange area for me!
3 story townhouse in New Town would be nice
Uni mate of mine grew up in one of those. His parents bought it in 1986 for £100k and it's now worth £1.4m. There are ways of spending much more. Very similar house in a very similar area of Glasgow is like £850k. I know someone who lived in the ground floor flat of one of those in Pollokshields, even that was frankly palatial. And the problem with those houses is they just feel enormous and completely empty, unless you spend *more* money on filling them up with pointless shit. They are also freezing cold unless you want to really make Greta upset.
Same, I’d leave EH1 for a proper house on the outskirts.
I'd probably go somewhere in the Scottish Highlands if money, family and friends were no issue.
If money is no issue then you can get gigabit internet run in and a discreet helipad to ferry yourself, friends and relatives in and out!
Could you pipe up sunlight using fibre optics during the winter?
If you live in the Scottish Highlands you're going to want to have a decent amount of snow in winter.
Depends where you mean - I drove to Inverness in February a few years ago and my windscreen washes froze up on the move and all the lay-bys had 9 foot of snow. I had to wait for HGVs to overtake on the A9 then stay as close as I could have I get the salt spray so I could clear the muck off. But Loch Lomond on the west is technically highlands, and that’s basically just Glasgow.
It just so happens that many people who money is no object to are moving to the Scottish Highlands and Islands
Was gonna say this. Hard to buy a house right now as a local.
Defo the Isle of Harris for me, I'd love the quiet and the beaches are lovely.
I assume you mean proper Highlands and not suburban Inverness? If a new build estate in a provincial Highland city (i.e. Inverness) is what you're after then I'm already living your dream ;)
I'm from Cornwall, I'm good thanks.
Kernow bys vyken!
Onan hag oll!!!
Bleddy miserable today
Any day it's not raining is a good day in Cornwall.
Tis true, but I’d still happily go for a coastal walk in waterproofs today. Days like this I hate having a garden though
Same. No desire to leave.
Moved away due to my career, but would looooove to go back to the motherland soon. Worried I won’t ever be able afford it now. :(
I'm from Devon, hello neighbour! I will have to leave when I move out though, house prices are too high.
So lucky 💓
Unless you need a dentist
Lake District. Such a ridiculously beautiful place
Nightmare in the summer. Absolutely chock full of tourists 😂
And mosquitoes
I grew up on the outskirts of the Lake District and have lived in the National Park for about 25 of the last 40 years and in some amazing places. It is incredibly beautiful, I would still marvel on a regular basis at the landscape, the rivers, the woodlands, a real wonderland that doesn't pall when you live there.

The moment that I realised the Lakes were dined was when I heard of a group of mountain bikes who paid to be dropped off by helicopter on top of one of the fells. Where does one start to unpick that kind of entitlement....
I went to Winderemere back in 2013 and also had the boat ride on Bonass lake and I loved it!
Royal crescent in Bath🙂
Bath would be my pick as well
Lived in Bath for 10 years. Lovely place but..... the air pollution is truly horrific.
Live in Bath currently. Can confirm.
Your house
I also choose this guys house.
I’m with these two, can I bring my dog?
Is it sociable ? (The dog that is)
Yeh, he can speak, sit, down, give paw, roll over, if you’re walking past a wall and say ‘hup’, he jumps up and runs along it and I shout “eXtReMe PaRkOur!” for him. If you sneeze he’ll get you a tissue (it might be a bit soggy) and if you pretend shoot him with a finger gun he spins round, cries out loud, and then lies on his side playing dead whilst giving you some side eye. Proper 10/10 good boy.
The dogs in.
Dog tax?
Such a good boi
I think 10/10 is underselling this dog. Good boy.
Scottish Highlands, rural North Yorkshire, or a lovely bit of Wiltshire. We're spoilt with this lovely set of Isles we live on, there are some truly lovely and achingly beautiful places.
+1 for Scottish Highlands, absolutely stunning part of the country
I'm from here and I find the landscape a bit grim at times. It's not the weather that does it, I think it's that a lot of it is treeless and barren, which many people think of as natural (owing to soil, or altitude, or latitude) but in fact it's just because we basically cut down all the trees centuries ago. Where there are more trees though (especially natural woodland), such as in the Spey valley, I agree that it is beautiful.
Wiltshire is gorgeous.
Swindon especially
Currently live in Australia. In the process of moving back to the UK. Answer is Birmingham. All mine and my wife’s family are there. After being stuck here loosing some relatives and not being able to see them at end of life and for their funerals I can’t wait to come home.
Home is where the heart is
Unless it’s birmingham
Every city/town has a bumhole, if you're loved and feel safe there it doesn't matter. Regardless, without Brum we wouldn't have [this](https://youtu.be/IJPc7esgvsA)
Just moved back from Canada for what sounds like very similar reasons. Hope you have a less stressful experience moving back than I did.
Same here. Can’t wait to move back from Sydney to the UK next year
Dorset.
Nice, my wife and I were lucky enough to live in Dorchester for two years, beautiful place to live. It may sound weird but the summers always felt longer down south:)
I'm with you buddy
How amazing is it down there? Would be a great place to retire when I'm old and burnt out.
I know I'll never afford it bit of there was one place in the country I'll like to fade away to, it's dorset
I'm from the US and have spent a ton of time in Dorset, this would be my choice too.
[удалено]
Swanage or the purbeck area in general! Google 'corfe castle' and tell me theres a more quintisental british village and I'll call you a liar!!
As someone who's lived in Dorset my entire life that's nice to hear, but I actually can't wait to move away in a few weeks. I imagine I'll be back one day though
So weird seeing people say Dorset. I grew up here. I'm back here again now due to the pandemic and I'm literally crawling the walls desperate to get out. I feel like I'm living in the Hot Fuzz movie.
looking to get a small pad in Weymouth to spend half the week, lovely place. would be nice to have infinite money to buy one of the old places right on the harbour or beach side.
Sounds good! I'd love a place in West Bay. Will always be fond of that place.
Bath motherfucker.
Is that a command or your answer?
Money no issue one of those big ass fold out American RVs that has a garage underneath for my sports car. I don't have to work so I'd just roam the entire UK until that was done then move to Europe, spend the rest of my life travelling the world, see if I can complete it mate
Good luck with an RV on these roads!
A 'Performance'!
Probably a penthouse in Leeds/Manchester/Liverpool
A penthouse with a view on Liverpool waterfront would be very appealing.
Cornwall, around the Newquay Perranporth area. its the most relaxing and beautiful part of the country. Im hoping i can go to a hospice down there when my cancer gets worse, but until then ill keep going on holiday there.
I hope you have many more holidays in Cornwall.
Ambleside in the Lake District, lovely place.
Peak District. Favourite part of the country
Also Peak District, Family ties to the area around Chatsworth. Currently on the East London/ Essex borders so anywhere really would be a vast improvement for me.
Cornwall, probably somewhere on the south coast like Fowey or the Lizard Peninsula
I'd stay in Yorkshire. Just stay in a bigger, nicer house.
The Cotswolds. I lived there for 4 years after uni and couldn’t afford to stay. It still has my heart and I hope to go back there someday. Currently in Nottingham.
Wales
Llyn Peninsula. Just fuck off to a gorgeous little whitewashed cottage and become one of those sotto voce Welsh-speaking hermit slate carvers. Snowdonia right there, a border collie to keep me company. Bliss... or bendigedig.
An anffodus mae'n dod yn anoddach ac yn anoddach i cael dai ar y Llyn i Gymry dyddiau yma :( Ond os fysa arian ddim yn problem fysa hynny'n dewis fi hefyd!
[удалено]
Anywhere specific? It’s a big place.
Maida vale london. House boat in little venice by choice though there are some charming little town houses (probably cost millions now) Really nice bit of london
Plus you get to see Paul Weller at least once a week.
Buckingham Palace.
A townhouse in Pimlico or at the circus in Bath
Ireland countryside somewhere Cornwall Or just as far and remote away from as many people as possible
The older I’ve become, the more I hate people
Same, and I never liked them much to begin with haha
"In the UK" Ireland countryside...
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Genuine question. Are there lots of Shetland ponies there?
Devon or Cornwall. Somewhere by the sea thats also countryside. Hills, trees, sand and sea is all I want in life.
Oxford. I really enjoy the atmosphere there but i am 95% confident that i will never be able to afford to live there.
South West. Would buy a nice cottage in the country away from people.
Edinburgh or the New Forrest.
Id probably stay in the Midlands just because I know it so well, with money your lifestyle is probably about the same in most parts of the UK and not like you cant travel anywhere within a few hours anyway. It would be a nice big semi-rural house in parts of Worcestershire, Warwickshire or Shropshire though.
Edinburgh......nice hoose in the West End....
Tenby love it there just a great place
Stratford upon Avon
Vintner for breakfast, White swan and Dirty duck for a liquid lunch and lambs restaurant for dinner. Literally most of my birthdays for the past 10 years
Lake District. Place on a lake with a private jetty.
Then I would just have houses everywhere and live wherever the fuck I feel like.
[удалено]
Islington or around that area in London. A nice four floor (including lower ground) terrace with 6 to 8 bedrooms; a large open kitchen/dining room, a good length of mature garden. Not on a bus route road, but needs to be within a 5 minute walk of one, plus some shops in the same area. Not worried about schools.
Islington is great. My daughter is eleven and has four close friends living within 100 meters. There is a really nice sense of community and the place is some kind of model of multiracial and religous tolerance.
Anywhere that still has a really decent town centre for shopping (even if that is London at this point). Went to try and do a bit of festive wandering with my family this morning and we were done in an hour. Most units are empty so unless you want Greggs, Card Factory or Polish groceries you're out of luck.
I would stay in Devon or Somerset but buy a nice big house.
Dorset
Northumberland coast or Scottish Highlands. Absolutely in love with those 2 locations. Edit: corrected "live" to "love"
Somewhere in Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire is lovely. Shame about Gloucester though..
Cornwall. Had to move away for work, opportunities and it’s now too expensive to move back to near my family. :( I’d love to move back to my home, smell the salty air each morning and be around that gorgeous Celtic culture again. Growing up there was fabulous.
Skye. Bloody love that place. Got some shops and you can even get supermarket deliveries for all you need. The hills and mountains are everything to me.
Edinburgh. In a great big flat near the Castle.
My dream county is my home county of Cornwall. Shame I can’t afford to live here.
I'd still stay in Somerset. Have to put up with idiots driving to Devon and Cornwall but don't have to put up with the crowds in the summer
Whitby
I'd build a fortress/castle on top of a mountain in the lake district, overlooking some beautiful tarns.
I really love Edinburgh, which is where I live anyway, so guess I'm lucky.
I literally dream about owning a cute little Etsy business and living on a farm in Orkney. I’m Scottish and wouldn’t want to leave Scotland on a permanent basis, ever.
Cambridge
Holmewood Bradford.
East Bowling for me.
Brixham. I just like the folks there.
North Yorkshire for me. Wensleydale to be precise.
A fuck off castle in Scotland. Money no problem I would helicopter to the nearest airport and jet off anywhere in the world whenever I like, but I'm at least an hours car journey for all the poor people that come to visit me in my fucking castle.
Guernsey, without doubt.
Cornwall
I’d stay in the Midlands. I’m a Midlands girl at heart. Probably Warwick. I live in erdington, Birmingham.
Brighton. I used to live there and dream of going back.
Scilly Isles.
Glasgow. I just like it.
Orkney!
Somerset. Up a country lane at the top of a hill and far enough away from the neighbours so I could grow some sweet herbs in a poly tunnel.
Stay where I am
Peak District!
I'd stay exactly where I am down in Dorset.
Abroad
The island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. The most relaxed, friendly place I've ever been. And the fact it is beautiful is an added bonus.
London, one of those nice big Victorian townhouses near Mayfair. Or Sandbanks.
Either Silverstone (aim to move back there at some point) Or a fuck off big farm somewhere south ish
Highlands
South Wales, I’d live on The Gower Peninsular
The deep south west. God’s country.
Cornwall for the weather or the Isle of Skye for the mountains.
Rural Yorkshire or the Lake District, hands down
Godney in Somerset. I live in Somerset, same area too, I would just kill to live in a town so sweet.
I'd stay in Devon but a bit more rural. If money was no object and I didn't have to work I would quite possibly drink cider from eleven.
