Petersfield has earned the title of the Best Place to Live in the Southeast, according to the annual Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide.
The judges praised Petersfield for its family-friendly atmosphere, highlighting its top-notch schools, diverse sports and arts activities, and a supportive community that cares for residents of all ages, all set against the scenic backdrop of the South Downs.
Helen Davies, editorial projects director and Best Places to Live editor, says: “It is easy to feel overwhelmed by everything going on in the world, but there really is so much to celebrate as we look much closer to home. From small gestures that lift the everyday - like verges blooming with daffodils to volunteer-run dementia cafés, to larger initiatives from repair cafés to new railway stations.”
The Sunday Times’s expert judges have visited all the locations and assessed factors from schools to transport, broadband speeds and mobile signal to culture, as well as access to green spaces and the health of the high street.
