"Definitely love the country, peace and quiet no light pollution, beautiful views and nature what's not to love x"
So true, but a lot of people can take for granted. I do enjoy city breaks though.. |

"I'm a jolly happy country bumpkin. I love that after leaving my gate in in the beautiful Welsh countryside. And not far from the beach too . Hurrah  "
I'll be down in Wales thus summer, never been before, but looking forward to the scenery and hikes |

"Somewhere in between please. I like the greenery and quiet but I also enjoy having things to do and being able to see people. Suburbanite? "
Haha, I'm quite lucky that i don't live too remote as to not see people lol |

City (ish) girl but now live in the Welsh valleys, surrounded by mountains and beautiful walks. The City isn’t too far away, though not the one I grew up near and the beach is close should I fancy it. |

"Which of the two are you, and what do you like and or dislike about it.
I dont fit into such a polarized false dichotomy "
Well I'm sure no one does, quite a few answers are mixed. I myself wouldn't pick one or the other, but definitely lean more to country bumpkin. |

Lived in London for the first thirty years of my life. Still ridiculously excited by the sight of a wild rabbit and thrilled by the bats and birds of prey I see. I never want to live anywhere too urban again, I want to have as much wildlife around me as possible. It's incredibly good for me. |

Born & raised in London but gradually moved out further & further in the countryside now pretty much wilderness, We can go days where the only sounds are owls at night & red kites & crows during the day...
Suits us just fine

I would be a city slicker I suppose, but I'll head into the country at every opportunity. I would much prefer to live in the country but still close enough to the city to be able to get to the bigger shops, restaurants and bars without too much fuss. The views in the country and the lack of traffic and slightly slower pace of life would suit me better  |

There's a big protected wooded area behind where I live, there's a huge rookery, lots of bats, a resident pair of what I think are sparrowhawks but might be red kites and I hear the owls calling at night and if I'm very lucky I'll see one flying silently above the trees. It doesn't get any less exciting, I'll never take it for granted. |

Country Bumpkin through and through. We have owls roosting in the trees in in our garden, see buzzards, red kites and other raptors above our cottage. Give me countryside and solitude everyday of the week. |

Red kites are considerably bigger than sparrowhawks (nearly twice the size) and have a very distinctive forked tail. Often seen gliding in wide sweeping circles. Sparrowhawks are much more secretive birds that hunt in woods and hedgerows and like cover. More likely to be spotted sat still on a post/fence/roof or chasing a small bird at high speed. |

Country Bumpkin. Been a City girl and worked at a private hospital in The Capital. I miss the job but not the crowds and the noise. I love my Hunter Wellies and Barbour jacket |

I've tried to identify the cry they make and I think they probably are kites. I see them gliding round on thermal currents. The rooks make a hell of a fuss and fly up to mob them sometimes. |

Dubai & Nottingham |
We like both , have lived in cities like London, Sydney, Dubai and find it stressful and then in very remote rural and coastal areas & feel too cut off. Currently live in the UK on the greenbelt 20mins walk into town and an hour from the peaks so it’s perfect. Just miss being by the sea especially in winter |
