A quiet market town in East Sussex has been named the best place to live in the UK – which has come as a surprise to some of its residents.
Located just an hour's train ride from London and close to Tunbridge Wells, is the historic village of Wadhurst. Once a town of great importance in the iron industry, the town has recently also gained recognition for topping The Sunday Times’ guide for best places in the UK to live.
Judges noted that, with less than 5,000 residents, the town "offers pretty much everything needed for modern life in miniature".
