Is there anywhere fairly quiet you could live, but not remote like the Scottish Islands. Where taffic is light, shops and night spots are still reasonably available (maybe within an hour or so), and you can get jobs, but commuting is easy, there are not too many people, there's a community spirit, it's a bit old fashioned. Is there anywhere left?

Definitely the Isle Of man, its £30.00 on the boat to liverpool each way, so normal rat race civilisation is not that far away. There is low unemployment, lower taxes, sea within a few minutes wherever you are, quiet roads,, lovely local pubs, a few clubs, not many, Hilton Casino(if you like that kinda thing) steam trains around all summer season, if you don.t want the bus, horse drawn carriages up the promenade all summer, T.T. madness in April...................love it here.....low crime rate, just a quiet sleepy island really without being too out of the way, plane 20 minutes too. try it................bet u like it, Good for young couples to start off here, the pensions and stuff are all better, hospitals are good, and we have no university here so my daughters tuition fees are paid by th I.O.M. government, less chance of any debt, we pay her digs and food! thats it.....not sure what length of schooling here is required before you get that I think its 5 years to become a manx resident..... and you will need a work permit for a while, that requires a bit of research on your behalf, i don't think it's complicated.... it's just nice to jump in you car and go and watch the seals on the rocks and the fishing boats come in, and if you like walking you will be in Heaven.....

I don't know. The majority of towns and villages now hold regular rat races. Its a major event every tuesday night where I live. This is not to be confused with mice racing where they are strapped into scalectrix cars.

West Highland Scotland is the ideal place. It's quiet, scenic and not too far from towns like Oban and Fort William.

I am a born and bred Vectian (Isle of Wighter) who now resides in Norfolk and i can recommend both areas for being laid back and at least very close to what you require.

hawes or keswik in yorkshire dales is spot on, also windermere in lake district, bit more busy than hawes but still lets you chill out and leave the madness of every day life
