What county would you live in for 5+ years given the choice?
Here
(Can the rest of you please leave in an orderly manner)
Pembrokeshire or Dumfries & Galloway
*Perthshire aint bad either
edit: or Cumbria or (some parts of) Lancashire or Brightonshire
Canada. Spent time in Labrador when in the RAF, loved it. Would move there tomorrow if it wasnt for wife, kids, job etc etc...
Doh!!!!! Misread, county for country. Double doh!!!!!
Cheshire or Derbyshire

Canada too, also spent time there with the RAF (still in) Love Calgray!
Gwynedd or Cumbria probably.
Probably Cumbria (right in the heart of the lakes). Currently in Lancashire though so not a million miles away....
Another vote for Canada,or maybe France
I've lived in Devon for just over a year. I really don't want to move anywhere else - it's lovely, folk are friendly, great place to raise a family and has pretty much everything you want if you're into outdoorsy stuff apart from proper mountains (although Dartmoor is a pretty good substitute).
If you twisted my arm then I'd happily live in Northern Pembrokeshire for similar reasons with the added bonus that it's less touristy.
Hi Crush, was there 92 goose bay. -30.....never experienced cold like it....brilliant place, but all the bar sold was labatts beer, Labatts blue,ice or regular....I......hate.....labatts.....
Surrey/Sussex
Wimbledon 🙂 quite happy here
South Devon or Pembrokeshire. Could stay in either for the rest of my days, but not so many datacenters there so it's unlikely at present :-/
British Colombia

Is there an echo in here? 🙂
Don't discount it completely. I was lucky enough to find an IT job here. A lot more "generalist" than what I did previously but lots more varied and I've learnt a lot.
If you're in that line of work, there are a few firms around the Exeter area who you could contact - South West Comms have a smallish datacenter for example.
If i didn't have to worry about money then probably Powys or Shropshire.
edit: or worry about the gf going mental from lack of things for her to do
What [b]county[/b] would you live in?
British [s]Colombia[/s]Cumbria
FTFY 🙂
Corsica
I rather like monmouthshire although I'm now sampling Somerset. I only know that I'd have to be bribed to live (back 'home') in the West Midlands or anywhere in the south-east.
The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright
Im also in Devon and wouldn't change.
Moved from London when a young child, have worked in lots of different counties but each time come back to Devon and now firmly estblished here with a young family.
France. Provence in the winter, Alps in the summer.

lol, i joind up in 2003, managed to visit goose bay a few times before it closed. i too hate labats and most yank ''lite'' beer to be fair.
another vote for North Pembrokeshire, love the place.
Staffordshire. Its home to me
Although I would move abroad
IHN - why on earth would you want to live in Cheshire?
Anywhere by the sea, although Cornwall is very nice! Cambridge isn't too bad but I've had my fill!
Northumberland all the way!
+1 for anywhere by the sea.
Don't really understand how people manage to live without it!
Anywhere north of a line drawn between south yorshire and summerset.
So far have lived in Avon, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Cheshire and County Durham.
I would gladly return to live in any one of them but have enjoyed living in County Durham the most (been up here for 15 years now).
The County of York. Preferabley in the North Ridding.
I have lived in Yorkshire, Devon, Somerset and Dorset. Based on personal experience Devon wins hands down.
Making a decision for me only and not the family (for the biking) I would consider Cumbria but it's colder and wetter oop there!
And all our family are darn sarf which helps.
Connemara in County Galway.
8)
Cumbria - middle of the country - perfect!
Northunberland. Right where I live now.
Just moved to Roxburghshire (better known as Scottish Borders), hard to find anywhere better for MTBing in the UK.
Westmorland.
I always thought Worcestershire or Shropshire would be good for riding - got all the good riding in that area then Wales isn't far away.
i would love to move to either edinburgh (where my grandfather was born/had many a happy holiday there with him 😀 or cornwall (as i have always loved holidaying there 😀
or japan 🙂
Probably Perthshire or Moray or somewhere round the Cairngorms because it's ace for cycling, walking wildlife etc, it has it all really. Not Aberdeenshire, been there done that it's a bit isolated.
Or Cornwall because I have a lot of family there and it's just as gorgeous although not as good for cycling.
Having lived in a wide variety of places in the southern half of the UK, I'd choose to go back to Somerset.
