  • Tell me about Norwich. Mrs2wheels has decided that might be our next move. Or Ipswich - but just cos you can buy a badman house for relatively peanuts.

  • Norwich > Ipswich. Serious. I grew up in/near Norwich. It’s a nice little city but it is quiet. Not sure how happy I’d be going back now.

  • I like Norwich, I lived there for 6 years, its got some nice things but it soon feels small. I can think of far worse places to live...like Ipswich.

  • Don’t move to Ipswich, unless you work in insurance. Then the commute would be a walk.

  • Norwich

    Not wanting to hate on an area...but...

    If you've got an established family and friendship base then (like anywhere) it makes sense. But otherwise it's a pretty insular place and the transport connections, even by road, aren't great. If you want small town/village life then there are plenty of little towns/villages near enough that seem like nicer places to live, and are obvs cheaper than their equivalents in the SE.

    Having relatively close access to the beach and seal watching in winter is nice. But on balance that part of the world always struck me as somewhere best visited. Basically other than family or work commitments I'm not sure why you'd live in Norwich.
