I get asked at work quite often why I live so far away from work(knutsford) and one of the biggest reasons I give is that here we are 2 minutes from countryside, 40 mins from the seaside, less than an hours from teh lakes, within 30 mins I can be shopping in Manchester, preston, blackburn, burnley, bury, Accrington, clitheroe, rawtenstall etc. House prices are half what they are in Knutty/Alty(although my council tax is HIGHER!!!!).

Now I love riding my bike through the trough/ibble valley, but I also enjoy a walk on the prom at the seaside. Yet coming home from work there is nothing nicer than sitting in the garden with a glass of something cool listening to teh birds, smelling the flowers and watching the squirrels playing. So all three for me please Staggers.
