I visited the happiest town in the UK and there was just one problem

It’s been named the happiest town in the UK. And having visited Skipton on more than one occasion, it’s very easy to see why.

As Yorkshire folk living in Leeds (I’m from Sheffield, I must stress), Skipton, a quaint village town just over the North Yorkshire border has become one of our go-to weekend day trips thanks to its quirky shops, historic architecture and stunning surroundings.

So when I learned that Skipton has now been named the happiest place to live in the UK , according to property website Rightmove, I was not at all shocked.

Skipton topped the list above swanky Richmond upon Thames and Camden in London, and even beat out well-to-do North Yorkshire neighbours Harrogate.
