Relocating to a new place entirely is, naturally, a supremely terrifying thing to do. Even if you happen to have links to any potential new home, and even if you have exciting prospects in this new place, the act of packing up a life and taking it somewhere different is one fraught with stress and nervous energy.
While there are many things to consider in getting your move right, the one thing that never gets boring is sounding out potential places where you could settle. The UK’s north-eastern coast is a hidden gem, itself hiding myriad magnificent destinations that could call to your sea-air sensibilities. Which is the best of these incredible places, though, and why might you move to them?
Withernsea
Withernsea is a quaint, small resort town situated within the East Riding of Yorkshire. Its most recognisable landmark is the Pier Towers, a grandiose brick entrance to a now-non-existent pier that, in the 19th century, stretched a third of a kilometre into the sea.
The quietude of Withernsea is greatly to its credit, as are the fantastic walking paths along the promenade and inland. New build homes in Withernsea are also easy to find, making it easy for you to arrange a move to this uniquely cultured part of North-East England.
Hornsea
A mere half-hour drive up along the East Riding coast from Withernsea will deposit you in Hornsea – a similarly understated seaside town, but one with much more of a village atmosphere to its name. Hornsea is slightly more populous and enjoys a little more by way of attractions, from the Hornsea Museum to the myriad pubs and seafood restaurants that benefit from local produce.
Whitby
Shooting up to the other side of the North York Moors, we find ourselves in one of the biggest towns on the North-East coast: Whitby. Known as a place for active tourism, Whitby is a melting pot of culture, as the sleepy seaside resort has on-and-off seasons that offer something different all year round.
Being the spiritual birthplace of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there is a lot of off-kilter history and culture to enjoy here. Being also the home of the great maritime explorer Captain Cook, there is an entirely separate thread of history and culture to unravel. Living here could not get boring.
Bamburgh
Finally, we come to Bamburgh. Bamburgh is yet further north, and a stone’s throw from the England-Scotland border. Bamburgh is an astonishing place to visit for its formidable castle, which is thought to have been in some form of existence since the Neolithic era. Living here is another joy entirely, though, thanks to the incredible sea- and countryside that surrounds the small community living here.
