Brighton - even Hove!

I like Brighton because it's a very vibrant place with loads of things to do and to go to like the Pavilion, the Pier and the beach.

I'm within half an hour of a beach and some cracking woods. There are plenty of hills for me to run up.

We have a cracking little area for shopping but lots of green space too.

It is big enough for me without being overcrowded and there is a real sense of wanting to push forward as a great place to live.

Oh and Miss Honey is around here somewhere

We have plenty of nice coffee shops.

Other than that, have a lot of green spaces and a few parks. One in particular is lovely.

It's easy to get into London when/if we need to but far enough away the rest of the time.

Plenty of shopping choices within a short journey too.

Lots of places to take the kids. Be it Welsh hills/forestry or the numerous beaches, lots of museums and Castles.

Near to Cardiff and Swansea and not far from Carmarthen and Tenby. Takes fecking ages to get to North Wales though, especially if you use the AA route planner and accidentally choose the scenic route

It's a pretty enough historic town, big enough there's usually something half decent going on. Small enough I can be out in the country in ten mins from home.

There's relatively little trouble and there's a massive student population so I can walk around town and hear so many languages and accents and I can find lots of little shops to cater for all those people and those things i like. Kinda vibrant

Fairly central in the UK. ..massively useful for my job

Spent two thirds of my life living in Bath, have lived in various places in Europe and all over England for the other third of my life but have always returned to this city.

Can't think of anywhere else in Britain that is as beautiful as Bath it really is a pleasure to live here. A great rugby club to support, great restaurants to eat in, wonderful countryside to walk in, stunning buildings to admire and in my case great people to swing with. What else could anyone want.??

I live in an old fashioned fishing village in South Devon.

If you like the open countryside, we are only 20 minutes from Dartmoor.

I have beautiful sea views from my house, and can get my boat out of the garage and be on the water in about 10 minutes!

15000 people live here.

We have 15 pubs. My local is on the beach, so I can have a cold Guinness with my toes in the sand.

There are a couple of dozen restaurants, including Italian, Chinese, Indian, traditional English. On top of that 5 fish and chip shops. Our favourite of all is a fish restaurant, where the catch of the day is bought in by the owner's husbands fishing boat.

25 minutes to Exeter, if you want department stores.

If you like buying local. We have a couple of bakeries. Greengrocers and butcheries that supply local produce.

There is a a little art area, and some of the artists are producing some lovely stuff.

Live music scene is very strong. The band Muse come from here.

The locals are friendly.

A moonlit walk on the Promenade in the evening with the dogs is a lovely way to end the day.

Very little crime.

All in all. We wouldn't change a thing.

Nothing.

As in, nothing to do, no excitement, no dramas, no d*unks, no street fights (mainly because there's little pavement or streetlights) if I walk the dog out front at night I need a torch, if out back in the fields at dusk I get buzzed by bats & hear owls hooting. Population about 1500 one pub, one shop. I can walk to the top of the hill behind the house and see boats sailing on the river Blackwater walk up the hill at the front and see the same on the river Crouch.

I still sometimes miss London though, usually when I have to visit & think ffs wish I still lived in Brixton!
