The best places in the UK to retire - is your town on the list?

Many will be looking for that perfect place to retire either now or perhaps in the not too distant future. So what are you looking for, it’s seems access to healthcare and beautiful scenery both score highly in the latest survey.
Consumer group, Which?, has recently unveiled its list of the top 12 retirement destinations in the UK. Newcastle-under-Lyme, a quaint Staffordshire market town, has earned a spot on this coveted list. Its inclusion is attributed to the town's abundant green spaces and a high happiness rating among its residents. Venturing to the remote Outer Hebrides, a stunning chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland, one finds another addition to the list. This picturesque locale stands out due to its impressive happiness rating and a notable concentration of GP surgeries.

Meanwhile, Wrexham, a former mining community in Wales, may have garnered attention for its Hollywood-affiliated football club owners, but it also earns its place on the list for its proximity to areas of natural beauty. Notably, the borough of Merton, home to the prestigious Wimbledon tennis tournament , proudly represents London on this list. Its allure lies in its impressive green spaces, including the renowned Morden Hall Park.

Finally, in Northern Ireland, Mid and East Antrim have emerged as the top choice for retirees, boasting the highest healthcare score of a perfect 10 out of 10.
