if I were going for scenery, and I didn't *need* the coast, then maybe Colorado or North Carolina; West Virginia is gorgeous. If you don't have to work, you can't get much better than the Rockies or the Appalachians or perhaps the Sierra Nevada range.
Wonderful to read a response from a intelligent thoughtful person from the UK.

My parents live in Sedona - beautiful city - though unless you're retired or an artist, I don't think there's much in the way of employment.

Hi, This is my first time on here. I have lived in Maine, California, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and have visited about 40 of the 50 states. I now live in God's Country, South West Missouri. It is absolutly gorgeous, we are on a huge lake, with fabulous scenery and four seasons. Low cost of living and low taxes.
Try it you might like it.
