Where to live?
Discussion
I'm living in Poole Dorset at the moment but want to move closer to my parents and those of Mrs Garyhun.
We want to be about 1-1.5 hours north of High Wycombe (my parents are in Gt Missenden and the other set are in Yorkshire)
Where would someone suggest we do some looking around? We like nice restaurants and pubs, long walks and being close to a decent town or city (10-15 minute drive would be ideal). We have no kids to worry about and work is not an issue either. Ideally somewhere that's got a little character and no chavs would be perfect
Cheers
Gary

I am biased but I'd suggest somewhere close to the A1 such as Oakham or Stamford, both full of character and main cities not too far away.
Lots of countyside and Rutland Water for your long walks.
Also good train links north & south from Peterborough, or Leicester.
I've always liked Rutland Water. Our first trip in 2015 is Oakham and we will go from there.Lots of countyside and Rutland Water for your long walks.

It is the Rutland and Stamford Mercury .I am happy to send if you don't find enough info online. It has a very good property section
Thanks Daphne - I'll take a look online and if I can't find it I'll send you my address for hard copy. This is why I still love the PH community.
Happy New Year everyone

Only forecast for Sunday now
I just don't want to take the risk of getting caught and not being able to get back for Monday seeing as we were going to spend all Saturday and Sunday up there. We're in no rush so think it's just best all round to delay a week or so.Long lunch now booked for Saturday in Poole!!
Have a lovely weekend everyone
