    Christchurch in dorset

    Another great place. I have friends there. Beautiful.
    My current place of residence making the best towns list, so proud. Great place to live, apart from the large amount of oldies who like to drive around 10mph under the speed limit.

    You still up at Sopley(?) Polo?

    Aiming to move to Christchuch when I don't need to get across town for work anymore, which at this rate will be when I'm about 75!
    Left there over three years ago now chief. Where do you work? I have to get over to Fleetsbridge so feel your pain, can be an absolute ball ache at times.
  • West London in general. Richmond, Chiswick, Fulham etc.

    Ely is another good shout and I'm going to nominate Brenchley in Kent as well. Nice pubs, nice cricket pitch, lovely buildings.
  • Er...Fleetsbridge. Give us a wave!

    I like many of the places around here but my own contribution would probably be Bath, particularly out of season.
  • Manchester: if someone's paying to put you up in a city centre hotel as part of a work trip where there's enough free time to see the sights, but not if you're stuck in some sprawling urban slum on the outskirts of town (I guess the same is probably true of most cities though).

    Cambridge.
  • Richmond in west London

    Bird at work lives in Richmond. She has been burgled three times in the last year.

    Nice park though.........
  • Wagrave. On the river 3 miles south of Henley, direct trains to Paddington (just a few), three pubs, a great indian restaurant, two antique shops and a newsagent, that's it. Oh, and two boatyards. It's perfect.


  • Wolverley (near Kidderminster)
  • Id be happy living in Farningham, Horton Kirby or Eynsford. Not too far away.

    But any part of Dorset really. Tho i love Lulworth Cove its a bit too secluded.

    Too many lovely places in this country to choose from.
  • Moved to Rochester a year ago. Gotta say love it, if you discount strood, Gillingham and Chatham the Medway town's actually nice, and half hour from London by train, 25min th valley by car, 15min from Bluewater for the mrs.

  • Stamford in Lincolnshire is a beautiful town.
  • Edinburgh I'd say has the best mixture of history, striking landscape and nightlife of anywhere outside of London. As a weegie I say that through gritted teeth. However, the manto is average, at best.
  • Yes Stamford is a great place , so many pubs !

    Burnham Market , Alnwick , Southwold , Bakewell , Plaayer ( also known as littlehampton ) and Rye all get my vote
  • Greenwich, Henley & Keswick
  • Think Ludlow is excellent too
  • A not very impartial shout out for the Chiltern towns of Amersham, Wendover, Berkhamsted, Great Missenden, Tring and Beaconsfield.

    Plaayer could have been Bakewell also
  • Arundel is a lovely place if a bit twee! Weird how your perceptions are coloured, Chichester was mentioned above which I can see is nice but having gone to school there only brings back memories of smoking round 'the cross' and trying to get served in one of its many pubs!

  • Lyme Regis.

    Yes, good call.
  • Cambridge
    Chester
    Saffron Waldon
    Mousehole
    Bath

    Edinburgh. If we are counting cities?

    Government stats say it's the city that nobody want's to move away from.

    Ely is another good shout and I'm going to nominate Brenchley in Kent as well. Nice pubs, nice cricket pitch, lovely buildings.

    Acton's a bit of a hole though.
  • Totnes, moved down here 10 years ago to study and have never left
  • Bradford on Avon nr Bath.
  • Tunbridge Wells :)

    Lol...^^


    Bath.

  • edited August 2013
    Reigate
    Arundel
    Bath

    Living in Reigate at the moment, and its like a dream. Unfortunately can't afford to buy here so will be moving on in a few months.

    Hopefully to Arundel - which, although twee, is beautiful :)

    Agree with Edinburgh. I only went there once and went on a mammoth session. I will always have maximum to the tattoo artist that refused to ink me, despite my drunken request for a St. Georges Cross, throwing £200 at him and affectionately referring to him as a 'Scotch twat.'
