I’ve taken early retirement in Salisbury, Wiltshire, after some years of running a small business in the area. It’s a beautiful City and home to the world famous Salisbury Cathedral.
It’s a very popular city that attracts a large number of visitors and tourists every year, no wonder people want to spend their retirement here.
There are plenty of lovely places to visit within easy reach of Salisbury such as Bournemouth on the south coast.
It’s very popular with retirees due to its beautiful beaches, seafront and popular pier. To some, it’s the retirement capital of the south coast.
Stonehenge is also a stone’s throw away should you be interested..
The New Forest National Park in Hampshire is only 10 miles away and features some beautiful scenery.
One of my favourite parts of the New Forest is Bolderwood, it has some wonderful walks and well as a deer sanctuary. There’s also the village of Lyndhurst which is always very popular.
As you can see, the Cathedral City is in an ideal location and a very popular place to live. It’s also proving to be a popular choice for people who are looking for retirement properties in Salisbury.
Early Retirement In Salisbury
I’ve recently been lucky enough to take early retirement after running a small business, called Salisbury Computer Repairs, for a number of years.
I’ve also moved to sheltered accommodation in Salisbury, a purpose built retirement apartment for the over 55s, close to Wilton Road.
It’s within easy walking distance of the City and ideal for visiting the wonderful tourist attractions in Salisbury.
I’m very pleased to have had the opportunity to move here, it’s a quiet first floor flat in a lovely little housing complex. It has some wonderful communal facilities and over looks a beautifully maintained garden.
If the idea of moving here to enjoy your retirement appeals to you, you might be interested in some retirement properties for sale in Salisbury that are available.
