There isn't any. House and shops aren't uplifting. The view from my back garden is though.

Brighton, and a little village nearby called Newick.

Brighton?? It's quite run down isn't it?

In contrast to the other thread, Leeds is the place where I've felt the happiest and most uplifted.

I also like Exeter, York and Harrogate.

I'm from Cornwall and live in London so I'm not being biased.

Yeah parts of it look awful, but then that's in every city. I think it's cause I don't live there, but I've only ever visited as a tourist so I always just associate it with fun and good memories :tongue:

London, towns along the Norfolk and Suffolk coast like Aldeburgh, Southwold, Wells. I would have said Cambridge, but now that I live and study here, it's not an uplifting place at all.

I totally agree with the East Anglian coastal towns point. Living in one myself, I can safely tell you we hardly ever get really bad rain and we have some very nicely sustained piers for tourists and townies alike! We definitely give Cornwall a run for their money.

you mean window shopping? :rolleyes:

Both haha, life of spending too much... and saving too little... :tongue:

Norwich is very nice

Birmingham excites me the most. Witnessing the development taking place makes it a very aspirational place to be.

York is beautiful with a rich history and modern shops integrated into old buildings.

London doesn't need a justification.

Ahhh I've lived in Brighton for like 5 years and I still love it! It honestly just has the best feeling ever... yes there are some nasty areas, but it's got so much charm and its so quirky and there's honestly nowhere else like it.

I LOVE BRIGHTON :biggrin:

Of the towns/cities I've got decent experience of: Newcastle, Durham and York. County Durham and North Yorkshire in general are lovely for their mix of countryside and history, if I overlook that the thread originally asked for towns/cities instead of counties.

Durham's pretty, but that's the best you can really say about it. I find it generally a dull, isolating and lonely place to live.

However, London and North Devon I like a lot. York and Oxford too, though I've not spent any extended amount of time there. Reading's not too bad either - I'd hardly call it 'uplifting' but I do very much enjoy living there. And it's very near Henley-on-Thames, which is lovely.
