I spent most of the last 20 years living in the middle of a national park, and not in a village either - right out in the wilderness. It was brilliant, except when a massive storm would take the power down for 3 or 4 days at a time. Then it was just cold.
Work led me to move into a town recently, and it’s odd hearing traffic noises again after so long, but there’s a nature reserve near my house and a river running right through the town. It’s a post-industrial area that is regenerating and there are deer, kingfishers and otters nearby. So it’s all rather lovely.
