The Best Outdoorsy Town In The UK?

It has pubs that serve half-decent ale. It has chip shops. It even has one or two – OK maybe only one – half-decent restaurant. It’s got more going for it than some.

Easily pleased aren’t ya 😀

So that leaves North Wales, Bristol Area, The Lakes (Kendal/Keswick) or somewhere like Exeter or Barnstaple/Braunton as strong contenders. Appreciate that everywhere is a compromise to some degree so it’s just weighing up the plus and minus points of each now I guess?

Outdoors stuff in the Lakes speaks for itself – it is phenomenal. Would you want to live there, though? Each summer, the place starts to smell of death. You can’t swing a cat without hitting a busload of pensioners assaulting the hillside with trekking poles. It doesn’t have the type of outdoor attitude or vibe that you’re looking for, IMO.
