Ideally we’d live in the SW of Ireland, near to Tralee. However, the uncertainty over Brexit and pension transfer rights has made that too hard for us to plan. We are now looking around Dumfries in Scotland.

What about Norfolk? Every time I’ve been to that part of the world, the weather has been beautiful. Then again, it rains permanently where I live.

Is there any ideas outside of the UK?

Cornwall takes a lot of beating. I moved here 30 years ago as I left the Army, mainly because I had/have relatives around Falmouth and had never lived anywhere for more than 3 years in my life (Dad had been RAF). I have never regretted it.
Advantages. The weather is mild and sometimes damp. It very rarely freezes, maybe a week every year. We get snow settling about once every 5 years. We have some of the most beautiful coastline and scenery in Europe. We are not greatly overpopulated. We are a low crime area (other than some socially deprived enclaves) and have none of the social tensions affecting some other areas of the UK. We have the Sea, boats, activities etc. You cannot live more than around 14 miles from it.. and only then if you try. Disadvantages. The average wage is low and a lot of work seasonal. ( I don’t know what you do). House prices are high everywhere due to the invasion of retirees, second home owners, etc. Don’t expect a cottage that can see the sea for less than 450k Transport links Can be poor with civilisation. We have two roads and they can block with emits in the Summer months, who eat all our Pasties and Cream Teas. The airport (Newquay), is limited and it’s main operator (Flybe), has become expensive since BA bought them out. You are (Falmouth) in a town where the high street is nearly dead, Truro is 10 miles away, Plymouth 55, Exeter 105 and wider civilisation.. past Plymouth. The big issue is employment. As I said, I don’t know what you do and what your wage expectations are. I have always had work.

Hi, I lived in Gibraltar for 3 years and have been back for holidays, it is a bit of home from home, beautiful weather and a very low crime rate. Use good old English pounds and very low taxes.

DS lives on the Isle of Arran - great community feeling, lots of events etc, crime rate negligible, kids can roam freely, beautiful island with plenty of great places to eat and visit - but the only 'proper' shops are Co ops though there are lots of small lovely local shops, 2 distilleries, a brewery, chocolatier, cheese maker, a spa resort ...
The main thing that would put us off retiring there is lack of a hospital (as we get older), although there's an urgent care centre and a helicopter
