United Kingdom - Telford New Town Old Country

Article Date: 2007-12-21

The United Kingdom is a very well known part of the world. The smaller and perhaps lesser known parts of this country are still very popular. Away from the big cities such as London and Dublin there are quieter towns and villages. There has been a trend in the United Kingdom to move away from the busiest centers.

Birmingham is also a large and busy city. However, a little north of this city is a charming location called Telford. This town in Shropshire is proving to be a trendy alternative to city living in the United Kingdom. The town is easily accessible from the motorways. From Birmingham, take the M1, turn onto the M6, and then onto the M54. It's as easy as that.

Telford is not an old English town. It is new and was formed a mere twenty five years ago. It has a population of 125 000. Set in an attractive rural landscape Telford is the home of many people employed in the high tech industries. It has provided economic and employment stability in this part of the United Kingdom. Some companies are:

- Makita
- Ricoh
- Epson
- NEC

Living in Telford has all the pleasures of city life on a much smaller and more intimate scale. This is town life at its most accurate. Not a village and not a city this is a town that offers a full life. The residents have the best of both worlds. The countryside surrounding Telford is rural England. There are many historic buildings that attract visitors to this important region of the United Kingdom.

An interesting fact is that 21 percent of the population in Telford is between 20 and 34 years of age. This means there is plenty to do in this district of the United Kingdom. The town has a vibrant night life without the intensity of a big city. This age group has meant the local primary and secondary schools are put to good use by the young families living in Telford.

The many advantages of living in Telford make it an area with potential as an asset. Property is the means to become a member of this stable community. Whether it is a country hike or a meal at a gourmet restaurant, this area of the United Kingdom offers its residents and guests, an English life at its best.
