Best City in England To Live?

Cambridge - Its much safer than other cities, its got a lot of greenery and old buildings, nice shops, hardly any big roads in the centre, many facilities, great shops, its big yet you can't go out without seeing someone you know, the schools are some of the best in the world (both state and private) and its close enough to London to commute. Where else would you get a field with cows in the centre of a city? Its not too big and there are many little villages in the countryside around it. It is within 2 hours of the sea. Many of the houses have an old style. It is situated on the Cam and there are sailing clubs nearby that I belong to. All the colleges are very attractive if you like old architecture. Considering what you've said you like, I think it would be perfect apart from not being right on the sea. Its the only city I would feel comfortable going out on my own at night in. I hope your move is good and you enjoy England!
