The countryside is beautiful where I am, some stunning architecture and I personally think it’s a friendly place.

Churchbells every Wednesday evening.

Lots of birds to listen to the morning chorus.

A lovely community spirit too.

Manchester

Relatively close to all my friends, close to a few good pubs and it’s not massively loud, all pretty normal stuff I suppose really.

This mystery anonymous place sounds lovely.

I’m in, er, Birmingham, yes. That’s where I am

. It’s a great lively city with so much to do that you never need to be bored! And it’s got the Bull Ring and Spaghetti Junction. What more could a boy want!

I live by the sea just outside Dublin so I’ve the city lights close by and the sea at my door step but I’ve also the mountains and country side within half an hour so I really love where I live. I work in Yorkshire so if I was to move over here to live I’d probably pick somewhere like the dales

It's a modern city, and easy to get to anywhere in the UK because of its plethora of rail stations, motorway links and an international airport.

The city itself is like a walk through of architecture throughout the decades, from tudor houses to modern art buildings.

It has a rich history of manufacturing with names like Jenson, Dunlop, rover, jaguar and landrover exporting across the world.

Multi cultural heritage is also of note, the balti was invented right here in Birmingham.

Birmingham and it's neighbours, my beloved Black Country produced some of the most important rock bands in the history of the genre, as well as bands of other genres including UB40, musical youth, Fuzzbox, bitty McLean, and Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran oh and dexy's midnight runners.

Oh and a little plane that was quite important to world history was built here, you might of heard of it it was called the Spitfire.

Slough Windsor ish

We are close enough to London to be not far and far enough away to be not too close.

Its a very multicultural area.

City 20mins drive East, Berkshire countryside 20mins drive West.

Heathrow on our doorstep.

Used to love that it only took 10 mins to get to abfab/kestrels.

Hiding in the shadows

Village life

Few minutes walk to the beach, few minutes walk to the South Downs.

Brighton is 15minutes away.

London just over an hour away.

Perfect balance

Worcester

Its convenient for work, the children's school and an easy trip to the motorway.

Have a great local town centre not far away and supermarkets are within a few miles too.

Lots of drinking establishments within walking distance but don't try to get a cab as they charge the earth.

Last one we had cost £12.00 for a 3 mile journey!

Same for me. Then add all the pubs, the busy harbour, historical buildings and you're getting there.

On the edge of Constable country, handy(ish) for London, good value housing...

The beach....its usually deserted and a place to roam and think. The high cliff quiet tracks pathways and history.

The closeness of fields countryside rural life and the normally total lack of traffic and noise and all that goes with it.

It feels like the edge of the earth bit that's pretty much whete it is. X

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I love London and I'm on the right side of the River.

London is lots of villages that I can go and visit as well as having the metropolis that everyone visits. Whatever I fancy eating I can find it here and my local fish and chips shop offers lobster and tempura prawns as well as the usual cod and haddock.

Whatever I fancy seeing I can find it here. I can find peace and tranqulity at my local wetlands or a great theatre in almost any direction locally and into the centre. I can shop locally at independent retailers and find quirky one-offs or the shops everyone has.

I'm just up the road from where I grew up and my family is so close that if I fall down the stairs someone is there to pick me up.

York

There's a lot to like about York, the medieval buildings and the mostly intact city walls, the large parks and green areas, the incredible variety of restaurants catering for all corners of the world, it feels a lot safer than most UK cities, decent nightlife, food, beer, comedy and music festivals all year round and due to the tourism you can meet people from all over the world on any given day. I'm not really a city person as I grew up in a village as a farmers son and love the countryside, but as far as cities go York is a good one.

The countryside, the history, the humour, the sense of otherness that comes from being overlooked by the rest of the country so we can get on and do our own thing, the widespread and fascinating community made up of varoous communities and the fact that our accent means we can run verbal rings around London media types because they languish under the assumption we're a bit thick because we sound like farmers when the opposite is often the case.

Estate agents love it. It's handy. Handy for schools and shops and countryside and train stations. It's just a little boring however and slap bang in the middle of the country it's a long way from all the interesting bits at the edge.

I didn't feel particularly safe in York on a Friday or Saturday night - it seemed very laddish and d*unken.

Bristol is in the news I see quite a lot, not just for the new Mayor. Although I know you're not quite there.

The edge of a small town in Hertfordshire. It's quiet, very quiet. It's close to work. It's a few minutes from open countryside amd miles of footpaths and bridleways. And when I don't want that I can be in london less than 30 minutes after leaving home.
