Far too close to people means that rents are higher and people are everywhere.
I do like Devon - used to go on holiday there when I was a kid - but it's probably a bit remote. I thought Dorset might be a bit pricey, but I'll look into it. I did my first degree in Bournemouth, and it is a pretty big town at least.GooberTheHat wrote:There are areas of Devon & Dorset that dont cost a fortune and are incredibly beautiful. Not much in the way of big cities but you have Plymouth and Exeter in Devon, and Bournemouth and Dorchester in Dorset. What's your rough monthly budget for rent?

Skye is massively overrun with tourists and has been since the mid-2010s. Locals hate it. So many visitors that their roads are in constant gridlock during the summer.
