"I'm extremely lucky to live by the sea! One of the two bays on Scarborough is literally five minutes away from my house  "
I was brought up in beverley, so a lot of my misspent teen years.. Where spent messing around, at Scarborough, Bridlington etc.. Love the east coast! |

Beautiful area, live next to Rutland water, small town everyone knows each other.
Bad points, they've built so much here last few years on the outskirts that I hardly recognise the old areas but it hasn't really affected what I now call the old town.
I also think we might be the only county in England with no MacDonald's, KFC, pizza but now that can only be good |

Bit of a crap hole where I live now, although I do live opposite a river.. I spend hours down there.
I actually class Liverpool as my home.. The best thing I'd say the people, and their sence of humour.
But then I've lived all over. |

Aw, I've never been to Berverly 
East Coast is lovely though! I'm currently watching my fwb surf, but on one side of my view I have the sea life centre, other side is the castle |

Manchester - the people are so friendly and the music scene is amazing.
Lincoln - great people and brilliant childhood memories. Surrounded by countryside for secluded dogging sites 
Tickton - nice quiet village, loads of farmer friends for cheap meat and veggies. Loads of sex outdoors places  |

The beach is roughly 70-100 ft from my front door.  "
Envious right now! |

Without doubt being so close to the sea and having swaths of unspoilt countryside's right on our doorstep puts the shine on the otherwise unpolished turd that resulted from decades of underinvestment and piss-poor local administration .....

Close enough to London to be there in 25 minutes on the tube or 10 on the c2c. 30 minutes from a beach and a short drive into the countryside and farmland. Close to an airport. Not too built up. Short train ride to shopping malls and decent restaurants and bars. Smack bang in the middle of everything |

I live in the centre of Edinburgh. It's awesome (apart from the tourists) 
Kidding... it's a beautiful, vibrant city and has everything I need. I can walk to the beach in ten minutes from home. I'm not sure I could tell you my favourite thing about the city, I like most of it (except the trams) so it's hard to pinpoint one thing.  |

You should, it's a nice historical town.. Although last time I went it was getting pretty built up, spoiling it somewhat!! |

Scenic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales on my doorstep however I wish I lived near a beach - just something special about being near the sea and listening to the waves.. |

For a man in his early 50's I'd say so. He's my favourite relative, a real gentleman & I imagine as vanilla as they get - although you always have to watch the quiet ones....... |

I'm close to the sea and the moors, plus a short walk will take me to Plymouth Hoe which has the most amazing view across The Sound. I'm a proper janner maid and I'm quite fond of my city. |

It may have got some bad press in the past but it has been regenerated and the place to be now regarding sights, history, music and craic.
The people haven't changed though as we have always been friendly welcoming and hospitable - despite circumstances. |

Mountains, green everywhere & no neighbours within a few hundred yards.
Oh, & good surf beaches close by!
But I was born in the city, so the best thing would have been Heathrow or Gatwick! |

Glad you enjoyed yourself Gentlewoman and took home a nice experience too. As Jed in Beverley Hillybillys used to say "you all come back again soon now" |

My home town is New York City and there is so much to love about it. The best, though, is its vibrancy. It feels busy and alive even at 3am and I love that

"We have a castle surrounded by a moat in the middle of my town. Very picturesque
We have a castle, bet ours is bigger than yours lol"
Edinburgh has a castle but they built it too near the shops. |

The countryside is beautiful and the buildings are mostly from Tudor times. Tractors still go up the main street fairly frequently and it always feels safe. |

The village I grew up in (Thornton) is amazing. Very rural and picturesque. I used to spend hours playing in the woods or down by the brook when I was a kid. |

The beaches and close proximity of the Norfolk broads. The Woodland close by for epic dog walks. The pier for a lazy Sunday afternoon stroll. Friendly people and a great sense of local community. |

I think I may be a little bit in love with your home town. |

I'm slap bang in the middle of two cities, Manchester and Liverpool, 30 mins each way down one bypass. 45 mins from Blackpool, Lake district isn't too far away and can get to Yorkshire and midlands easily. |
