Experts considered many different factors such as schools, culture and shops to create a list of the top 8 places to live in the region.

“Home to gorgeous gastropubs, arty communities and some of the country’s most elegant country houses, it’s a landscape that’s inspired literary greats and is proud of its friendly reputation.”
