    Cambridgeshire here.
    I live a couple of miles outside of Cambridge in fact and its great.

    Country life is good but London, when i want it, is a 40 minute drive.

    Re: Which County do you live in, and what's your Favourite County?

    Right try again (power went out at work just as I was moving the mouse to the submit button ). I live in County Durham and not Durham like some twerps in the marketing dept. in the Tourist Board think (their reasoning being it confuses people, the name making people think that the county is in Ireland ). Generally love the place, the countryside is a pleasant mix of tree/hedge-lined fields, open moorland and forest (I'm thinking of south end of Co. Durham here) I also love it's history as it's very much unlike any other part of the country (it had it's own currency, standing army that was independent of the crown and was ruled by Prince-Bishops, it's also the site of the first rib-vaulted cathedral in the country, if not Europe that's been standing in one form or another for over a thousand years on the same site, sorry bit of a history nerd ).

    The only other place in the country I'd live is Teesdale, this is the most southerly part of Co. Durham which borders onto North Yorkshire (you can see the highest pub in England from my Grandfathers garden) and very much a rural locale (the only drawback being the internet access isn't what you'd call nippy).

    I'm a London lad, and wouldn't change it (within the boundaries of the UK, I plan to live abroad in the future), but if I had to move it wouldn't be far away - Kent or Sussex, where I've spent some good times.

    Re: Which County do you live in, and what's your Favourite County?

    I live in West Sussex, and it's my favourite of course!

    Second favourite would be Surrey I think - and yet I'm not sure why! Maybe it's because its on the way to London!

    was born there, go weekly for work, and it's a stunning county, with a lovely City, all bar the nutters on pedal bikes

    Live in Surrey now, but hail from North Yorkshire, just north of York. Yorkshire is definitely my favourite county, would love to live there when I've made my fortunes
