Hebden Bridge, in the Upper Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, is known for it's bohemian streets and rich picking of independent shops. It is no surprise that it was named as one of the most desirable places to live by our readers.

Skipton and its surrounding villages was a popular choice for our readers. One reader said: "One of the nice villages in the south of the Dales near Skipton, so in a beautiful location but still with easy rail access to Leeds for a night out or Elland Road."
