Thinking of moving - but not sure where to!

[Stilgoe1972]

I'm not a fan of suburbia now, preferring small towns (which of course grow with time).........

In England - I've always admired Ashby-de-la-Zouche as it seems to have retained a decent 'town' infrastructure despite the traffic at peak times to Tesco and the Motorway.

Okay- it ain't the south coast with the better weather, but has lots of countryside around it, but good for road, rail and air-links.

Yeap, my Mrs is from there, and property is cheap as chips too.

I hadn't realised that (the cheapness, not that your Mrs is from there)

I don't know England intimately (or your Mrs) - but Hampshire isn't bad if you have enough money to spend

Romsey is nice, but I thought Uber-expensive.

Bishops Waltham is quite nice, and perhaps Fareham?

Anywhere near Winchester is going to be expensive I think (apart from 'Beastly-Eastleigh')

For me - one of the big downsides, is that traffic can be so bad at peak times that for leisure - no-one ventures out onto the major roads before 10am.
