50 of the best rural places to live in Britain
Although I’m a huge fan of all rural places, this article, based on research by the Sunday Times, identifies 50 best places to live in rural Britain. The research takes into account hard data on house prices, schools, crime rates and transport links as well as other factors such as the local pub and if you’ll get clobbered for parking tickets on every corner. The winning communities vary, from remote hamlets to bustling market towns. In England, Alresford, Bamburgh, Bampton, Barnard Castle, Blackawton, Blackeney and Bledlow all make the top 10.
