"Winchester is the best place to live in the UK in terms of quality of life, a study has found.
Scotland's Orkney Islands took second place, while Wychavon in Worcestershire came third in the Halifax study.
It looked at a range of factors including life expectancy, health and employment rates.
One key measure was Winchester's weekly earnings which, at £824, were found to be 27% higher than the UK average of £646."
Didn't mention very high house prices though!
