I've always lived by the sea apart from 5 years when I lived inland in South Yorkshire. I felt 'uneasy' not having the sea nearby though and returned to the south coast.

I find a walk along the beach is one of the best tonics for a troubled / busy mind ever.

I'm in between all 3.

A 20 minute train into the City of London; a 25 minute train ride to the coast and a 20 minute car ride to the country park.

I think I would like to retire by the sea though.

I live in a man cave on a beach...

If you visit the cave and it's empty I'll be walking in fields or forests....

If not there I'll be in a city somewhere...

I live by The Salisbury Plains and I'm fed up with countryside.

I actually grew up by the sea and I flipping miss it.

Coast for me.

In the middle

Coast closely followed by the countryside, I’m not a great fan of the hustle and bustle of towns and cities

Countryside, but I do like the coast on those rare hot summer days we get in the UK.

...Up on the Downs

Country I reckon, though I like the coast for weekends. Hate the city, that's for day trips and dancing only!

Solihull

Somewhere like Plymouth so you've got city nightlife and restaurants but get on the ferry and you're over to village beaches

One of my favourite work stop overs

Mind you I can be happy with a pub on a harbour with a pasty, cider and crab line

Think I have best of all 3 ?

As i live in the country,on edge of the Lake District.

The coast at Morecambe Bay is a 15min drive.

And I regularly travel to London with work.
