Which British market town would you actually move to? Rank them from dream to maybe-not.

A creative haven tucked in the Pennines, known for independent shops, a strong arts scene and seriously good coffee. Just don't mention the flooding.

Famous for its Michelin pedigree, weekly markets and half-timbered streets. The kind of place where every other shop sells artisan cheese.

Catherine Hill's pastel shopfronts and the monthly independent market have made Frome a magnet for London escapees. Sourdough is practically currency.

Often called England's finest stone town, with elegant streets, a working theatre and Burghley House on the doorstep. Quietly civilised in every way.

A handsome border town with a stunning abbey, weekly market and Hadrian's Wall practically out the back door. Bracing in every sense.
