Like anywhere it has its good and bad points. I now live in the Sparcells area — lake with pub on my doorstep. Two large areas of parkland 2 minutes away. Lidiard park a 10 minute family bike ride away. Access to country lanes right on my doorstep if I feel like a road ride. If you move to a town thinking its a hole, it will be.
