Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks is another of Britain’s most popular places to live. Like Tunbridge Wells, it is also located in Kent and there are plenty of things to do.
The area is fantastic for golf, restaurants, museums, art galleries and horse riding.
Bird watchers, walkers and nature lovers will love the Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. With such picturesque views, it is a fantastic place for a relaxing day out no matter what the weather.

Hart
Whenever surveys are done to discover the best places to live in the UK, Hart is another name that keeps popping up. It’s no surprise when studies suggest that those who live there have a greater life expectancy than the average Britain.
Perhaps it is down to the abundance of jobs and nice housing along with the lack of crime and traffic.
With so many trees to climb, so much grass to run your fingers through and fresh air to breathe, Hart residents may also have the vast countryside and open spaces to thank for their long, peaceful lives.
Aberdeen
In this current climate, the promise of a job is usually the most important thing we take into account when looking for a new place to live. This is where Aberdeen comes in. With less than one unemployed person for every job, it is said to be the easiest place to find employment in the United Kingdom. Outside of work, you’ll be sure to find plenty of things to do. Enjoy a nice walk through the soft and clean dunes and paddle in the waves of Balmedie Beach, just north of the city. If exhibitions and museums are more your cup of tea, pay the Maritime Museum a visit for an insight into the history of seafaring.
