Let's move to… Southwell, Nottinghamshire

What's going for it? Imagine a town like a posh, horsey Jilly Cooper of a lady, swoosh of slightly bouffanty hair swept back with an alice band. Probably wearing jodhpurs and a jerkin. Game for anything. The kind of town most parents would love . That's Southwell. It's the prettiest spot in Nottinghamshire. True, there aren't many rivals for that title, but that's not to diminish its attractions: a fine minster (one of Let's Move To's favourite ecclesiastical buildings, as it 'appens), a splendid close of appropriately Trollopean Georgian houses around said minster, some delicious old taverns, a racecourse , shops selling artisan feather dusters, folk festivals, teashops, of course, birthplace of the Bramley apple, a general air of entitlement and to-the-manner-born. It has everything a cathedral city ought to have, only at a fraction of the size. Southwell is like York or Winchester shrunk to quarter-size. Weird. Even the grand minster looks diddy. Though, sadly (cue cheesy link), the shrinking doesn't extend to the house prices. You'll need a normal-sized wallet to buy round here, alas. The case against Especially small – I'd be bored witless in 34 minutes. A little monocultural. All those country casual beiges and creams. Well connected? Dr Beeching stole the railway . Drive the three miles to Fiskerton, but don't get your hopes up: trains every two or three hours (so don't miss it) – 10 minutes to Newark, 40 to Lincoln, 30 to Nottingham. Bizarrely tucked down lanes off all main roads: 15 minutes from the A1(M), if that helps. Schools Primaries: Lowe's Wong Anglican Methodist and Halam CofE just outside town both "good", says Ofsted, Bleasby CofE "outstanding", as is the brand new Minster School . Hang out at... The Old Theatre Deli , a Georgian theatre-cum-lovely food shop-cum-café-cum-restaurant. The Saracens Head for a pint. Where to buy As close to the minster as you can afford. Exceedingly grand Georgian houses along Westgate and South Street; Burgage Green nice. Also west, and Westhorpe. Lovely cottages on the road to Fiskerton. Pleasant surrounding villages, too: Hockerton, Upton and Halam. Market values Large detacheds, £400,000-£800,000, with the odd exceedingly grand Georgian town house up to £1.3m. Detacheds, £200,000-£400,000. Semis, £150,000-£300,000. Terraces and cottages, £130,000-£250,000 Bargain of the week Modern, three-bedroom semi – it's not a period dreamboat, but there's no chain; £157,500, with Richard Watkinson . From the streets Vincent Ashwin "It's unpretentious, compared with similar places down south. Fave haunts: the medieval cathedral, and La Parisienne , for French and Moroccan food at ridiculously low prices." Judith and David Milnes " Apart from the wonderful minster, the Handicentre stocks just about anything you could want. Its assistants always know where anything is, from a nail to snow shovels in July." • Live in Southwell? Join the debate below. Do you live in Hathersage, Edale or Castleton, Derbyshire?
