The ten happiest places to live

Harrogate

Shrewsbury

Ipswich

York

Chester

Inverness

Llandrindod Wells

Hemel Hempstead

Watford

Blackpool

London had 9 of the 10 unhappiest.

No surprise there, living it London is a mugs game if you're not earning mega bucks.

Blackpool a shock. Horrid place to visit.

Yes I seem to remember TV's property experts, Phil and Kirsty of Location, Location, Location did something similar about the top 20 and bottom 20 places to live in UK.

Still, if that means that places like Hull and Doncaster have fewer people droning on about how difficult it is to find a desirable location for a mere £500,000 then they can't be all bad in my opinion.

What a load of cobblers.

Harrogate named as happiest place to live in Britain

Further down that page is a link to a "Where in Britain would you be happiest?" test.

I got South Norfolk. The best location nearest to me was North East Derbyshire.

I am going to assume that Inverness in that list covers the whole postcode (which is all of mainland North Scotland afaik) at which point I happily agree that it is an amazing place to live. Inverness itself is a bit meh, although it has a lot of redeeming qualities as well. I prefer Perth though.

I got South Cambridgeshire.

I don't know if the street scenes of Harrogate on the the tv news yesterday were from stock footage, but I was impressed by how clean the place was, with no litter as far as I could make out. I'm very happy here in Sheffield, but less street grot would be a bonus.

my vote on a local level would be stocksbridge.

I agree, although head a few miles into the Fylde and you have some beautiful places - Knott End on Sea, Skippool Creek

I don't know all the places, but Harrogate, Shrewsbury, York & Chester have beautiful old town centres, I wonder of that's the reason. Plus a lot of tourism, so it must make you happy to see people wanting to visit and spend money in your town.

Budget cuts have meant things like that had to fall by the wayside.

Afterall you wouldn't want the council gravy train to stop would you?????
