Residents living in a Nottinghamshire village which has been named as one of the country's poshest have said life there is "absolute bliss". In the 'best country life guide' listing published by the Telegraph and researched by Savills, the publication listed Colston Bassett as one of Britain's top 54 'smartest rural locations'.
It earned its place on the list due to a number of factors, with food and the local pub being among the draws listed. The Telegraph pointed to the areas' award winning Martin's Arms pub, a local spa and "the king of blue cheese" as reasons for including the Nottinghamshire village on their list.
Chris Deanshaw, 48, was out walking his dog with his wife Anna. He said: "We come to a lot of the villages around here, I think it's a great part of Nottinghamshire. You feel quite away from everything else, it's a pretty small place and it's always quite quiet. There are lots of fields and green spaces as well which means the dog loves it."
