Quite fancy a move down the M5 to Bristol in the new year
I get the impression life gets more relaxed once Cheltenham's well and truly behind you, not that I know the SW too well.

The other nearby city is Birmingham (Worcester is nearer but it's not a proper city, no sir). That doesn't appeal at all.

Somerset isn't really worth bothering with
it's like a sub-standard version of Devon.

Devon itself is awesome.

Cornwall is statistically the poorest county in the UK

I'm promoting Devon here
Cornwall is there for when I want to visit it.

also, it's most likely poorest because there aren't big cities

Actually I love Devon
I've holidayed in Chagford a couple of times, and stayed at Gidleigh Park for my father's 60th.

It was delightful. I whupped everyone's asses at crocquet and then threw up on the lawn.

that's what Devon is like

well, not quite. But it's pretty awesome having the beach 20 minutes in one direction and Dartmoor 20 minutes in the other.

Dartmouth's a pretty little town too.
Some shockingly bad local artists there, mind you.
