Re:94% premium to live in God's Garden (aka Peak District) 10 Years, 9 Months ago
if that was the "scenery" they paid over 100 grand to view I'll stick with Bondi Beach and the spew covered (UK Backpackers) streets of Kings Cross.
The problem is of course who are your neighbours ?? I'd never name names (ITK) but there would be some intensely boring dudes staring at that lake along with you as you had your morning cuppa.

One doesn't like to be pedantic here but not only is the lake referred to by Hedda not in the Peak District as ITK says but it isn't in fact a lake. It's the river Beaulieu in the New Forest. I know it. I've canoed down it

This is what a Peak District lake looks like, hedda !
Over the hill is the Job Centre.
very pretty but masses of room to put a Westfield there. And don't get me started on those beautiful blue skies with fluffy white clouds. Bet the photographer sat there all year waiting for that perfect day.

... and not a peasant (er, sorry, pheasant) in sight !
Meadowhall - much better than any Westfield - is only about 40 mins away. Westfield in Derby has been sold - its now called something like Itsus (or is it Intu?).
Mrs ITK has suggested a visit this weekend to start the Christmas shopping - OMG !

Its the Ladybower Reservoir - which drowned the villages of Ashopton and Derwent; although the bell from Derwent's church can still be heard in Derbyshire.
