Large detacheds and townhouses, £400,000-£1.25m. Secondaries: Trinity is the pick. Do you have a favourite haunt or a pet hate? Let’s move to Sedbergh, Cumbria: lovely in its isolation A convivial and unpretentious ‘book town’, though it may be too lonely for some. Semis, £140,000-£375,000. Cor, Carlisle’s a bit of all right. I only narrowly escaped a night out at Outrageous Cabaret Bar, but can vouch for the city’s legendary boozers. The roads out of town have fine Victorian homes. Let's move to Penrith, Cumbria Sandwiched between the Lake District and the North Pennines, this is a place of gruff, stony beauty Tom Dyckhoff. And, as one of three of Britain’s “book towns” (with Wigtown and Hay-on-Wye), filled with bookshops, writing retreats and poetry festivals, even the most taciturn hermit is never short of a conversation opener, even if it’s just your take on the latest Jack Reacher plot twist.

Sedbergh is only 15 twisty-turny minutes up the steep western escarpment of the Yorkshire Dales from the M6, a little longer from Kendal, but high up, all alone in the fells, it might be halfway to the moon. Terraces and cottages, £110,000-£385,000. Find properties for rent in Cumbria.

Where to buy The centre has steep streets of fine, grey limestone property, from 18th century to early Edwardian, especially. Then you can walk it all off striding like a border reiver along Hadrian’s Wall, before doing it all over again. Semis, £70,000-£600,000.

Rentals: a one-bedroom flat, £375-£575pcm; a three-bedroom house, £700-£800pcm. It’s my kind of place. Let’s move to Grange-over-Sands and Cartmel: ‘Ooh, Alan Bennett’ An exotic destination for middle-aged elopers Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria: ‘A most pleasant place.’ Stanwix, across the river from the centre, has delightful late Georgian and Victorian detacheds and semis off Marlborough Gardens, and lovely small terraces around Etterby Street. Driving: Windermere, Kendal an hour; Newcastle 90 mins. Town houses, £200,000-£450,000. Semis, £170,000-£400,000. Detacheds and smaller townhouses, £240,000-£400,000.

And we’re surrounded by some of the most beautiful and least-visited landscape in the Dales – the Howgills. Here's how to cut back, Eurocrats accused of wasting taxpayers' cash after splurging £1m on EU history museum, 'Interest on interest': Can’t go beyond relief already announced, Centre tells SC. Do you live in Coventry? Well connected? Terraces and cottages, £115,000-£250,000. Schools Lots of lovely primaries, with Upperby “outstanding”. Last modified on Wed 23 Sep 2020 15.56 BST.

And, for the best hangover breakfast ever, the butchers are well stocked with Cumberland sausages. Surely there are better ways to revive the place. Greg Stephenson “There’s lots to like and not much to dislike... it may be hidden away but it’s hugely handy for the M6 – five miles, and West Coast mainline 10 miles.”, Laura Rosenzweig “A real, down-to-earth place full of down-to-earth people who help each other.

Let’s move to Inverness, Inverness-shire: wilderness on the doorstep, Sedbergh, Cumbria: ‘It’s filled with bookshops and poetry festivals.’. Trains: the west coast mainline surges through the magnificent station, with three or four trains an hour to Glasgow (75 mins), two an hour south through Penrith (15 mins) and Lancaster (48 mins); hourly to Newcastle (90 mins). Flats, £85,000-£250,000. Auld Grey Town, they call it, and under a heavy blanket of cloud and drizzle rolled in from the fells, it sure is, though the cheerier among you may notice the light sparkle in the stones of its limestone streets, and the fact that the steeply sloping sides of the town mean the lush green fields of the countryside are never far from sight. Where to buy Carlisle is quite the property gem. Well connected? Nations have fought over this ruggedly beautiful border city, and it’s easy to see why, Carlisle, Cumbria: 'It's a bit of all right.' Hang out at… I had a lovely coffee at John Watt’s splendid old coffee house. Instead, it’s a proper Cumbrian (though, correctly, Westmorland-ian) place, where they still make snuff and mint cake, and sheep-shearers hunker down in the pubs. Schools Primaries: Sedbergh and Dent Church of England are both “good”, according to Ofsted. Where have UK house prices increased most – and least – since 2010? The case against… When the wind blows, Sedbergh gets blown away. Rentals: not a lot. Still, goodness, they know how to have fun. Hang out at… The Three Hares cafe, bistro and bakery: Japan in the Dales by way of Germany, and more brilliant than it sounds. Driving: the bright lights of Kendal are 25 minutes away, the M6 is 15 minutes, and Lancaster, the seaside or the Lakes are reachable in 45 mins. Driving: you’re right on the M6, so Lancaster is 30 mins, Preston 50; 25 mins to Windermere and the heart of the Lakes, an hour to Carlisle.

If so, please email lets.move@theguardian.com by Tuesday 11 November. Detacheds, £130,000-£300,000. Do you have a favourite haunt or a pet hate?

Secondaries: Settlebeck is “good”. Schools Primaries: Stramongate, Castlepark, Ghyllside, Heron Hill, Dean Gibson Catholic and Vicarage Park CofE are all “good”, Ofsted says. Where to buy Anywhere you like, just so long as it’s made from stone, raw or whitewashed.

Flats, £50,000-£200,000.

It’s also a tad isolated. 14, 2019 at 4:30 pm. @tomdyckhoff There are some lovely farming villages beyond, such as Garsdale or Dent, for those who like it even more remote.

If it were human, it’d be Sean Bean, a face that looks as if it’s been hewn out of solid rock, and shaped by endless scrapping and nights out on the lash. There’s a smashing estate of the same all along Warwick Road, and some very nice homes around Chatsworth Square, all walkable to the centre.
