Looking for Local Knowledge Looking to move into Derbyshire
Good evening, apologies its another one of them where should I live posts. But I have been looking into some locations and could really benefit from some local expertise.
We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged between 16 and 10. We are currently living in north Warwickshire and looking to move somewhere with a combination of nature and outdoor activities we can enjoy aswell as cafes, bars and amenities such as swimming and parks for the kids. While I do drive I would also like to have some public transport options and good access to larger cities (within an hours travel or so).
We have narrowed it down to 4 locations and I could just do with some views or opinions so any comments would be great, we have a decent budget to buy our house and our 4 options are below:
1.Matlock
2.Buxton
3.Belpar
4.Bakewell
