Cornwall has seen 10 places in the county named among the best places to live in England, according to Muddy Stilettos.

The woman's lifestyle website creates a list of the 'best places to live' every year, and it has expanded its number of entrants from 200 to 250 on this occasion.

It draws upon its insight into the 28 most sought-after counties in England, guiding potential buyers to the local hot spots and up-and-coming areas.

Hero Brown, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Muddy Stilettos, said: “When people decide to move, they’re searching for more than just a house - they want a home, a lifestyle that works for them and their family, and if they’re strategic, a long-term investment too.

"Our 2023 Top 250 Best Places to Live guide will give them that extra reassurance they need to make their search easier in these difficult economic times."
