Explore the great outdoors, live in the countryside

Our countryside is a true national treasure. Embracing nature and its vibrant culture is an invigorating way to spend your day.

Enjoy the fresh sea air, take solace at the seaside

We do like to be beside the seaside! Relive the excitement of your childhood and breathe in the salty sea air down on the south coast. Living near the coast can be exhilarating and enjoyable in any season. With theatres, markets and even rides on the pier, what better way to spend your leisure time? The enchanting atmosphere and cultural exploits make Brighton the perfect place to potter. Or perhaps the close-knit community found on the Isle of Wight is the ideal spot for you. Enjoy thrilling regattas, fabulous food festivals and breath-taking walking tours all year round.
