Another where in the UK!
 
Where in the UK would you live if you were looking for the following:

1) Close to the Mountains

2) Close to outdoor activities such as mountaineering

3) Lots of young people around (Mid 30's)

4) Lots of admin jobs

I was thinking of Chester due to its close proximity to Snowdonia.
What do you think?

My cousin lives in Harrogate and he is very much into hiking. I haven't been there yet but I've heard it's a lovely area.

Glasgow - yes
Harrogate - yes

What a great thing to have the chance to choose, you lucky thing.

Chester, yes. Close to Wales, Peak District, Lake District. Perfect location for the things you like.

I have never been but geographically it offers proximity to the things the OP likes.

A walled Roman city...fairly small...very pretty and obviously very historic.

Someone posted photos of Chester in this forum last week.

We're about 10miles from Chester and it's perfect for the criteria you have mentioned.

Mountains nearby,thirty somethings, admin jobs probably plentiful as MBNA and M&S have their headquarters there, lovely city centre, a quaint and trendy place to be really. Close enough to the lakes and the peaks too!

I would move there if I wasn't moving to Oz!

Hope this helps

Interesting question. Hows the housing prices in those areas already mentioned?
