I live in a major city where we're packed like sardines and it's now the norm for a dozen adults to live in a two bedroom flat, however, you can drive literally 30 minutes and be in a different world, beautiful remote English villages, nothing but green as far as you can see, medieval village/churches, and the heavenly silence of tweeting birds and running streams, then go a little further to the coast and inbetween the seaside towns which are now unrecognisable third world countries and posh London elite touristy spots, you can find beautiful beaches/coast.
