This is a totally hypothetical wishlist. We cannot afford to move house and, even if we could, the places I’ve picked carry an upmarket premium which means a move to these places could never happen. But if I could live anywhere else, these places are on my list of places where I’d love to live.
Tarporley
Tarporley is a weird one to include on my list as it is only up the road. I’m not entirely sure I’d want to live there as it is very snobby, but there is something so appealing about the village and its community feel.
Lymm
Such a picturesque village with lots of quirks and interesting history. I would love to live in the village!
Whitby
Whitby is one of my favourite places in the world! It really is beautiful. As a tourist I love it, but I get the impression that it is a really lovely place to live.
Scarborough
After our holiday where we stayed there in 2021, I would happily live in Scarborough. I love Peasholm Park, the beaches and the atmosphere. It is nothing fancy, but I am sure it would be a nice place to live.
Conwy
Conwy is such a lovely place to visit and I there is something about the town that feels so homely. It is definitely somewhere I’d live, although the roads in the area would annoy me.
Saundersfoot
Such a lovely village – I’d opt for Saundersfoot rather than its more famous neighbour Tenby. Saundersfoot seems, at least to me, more of a home than a place to visit.
Wells-next-the-Sea
I fell in love with Wells on our recent holiday. It is definitely somewhere that felt like it had a community feel. There seems enough for people to enjoy as holidaymakers as well as residents. Fabulous place!
St. Alban’s
We stayed in St. Alban’s recently and loved it. A small but beautiful city. Verulanium Park would be worth living there for alone (the park is shown in the picture for this article.)
