He praised the "sense of community" and commended the range of "smashing pubs and great restaurants".

Tony went on the say there was a "sense of freedom" he had struggled to find in London.

The quiet area has a small town feel but London can be accessed in 1 hour 30 minutes.

Thame is a peaceful town with lots of greenery, a river walk and lots of cosy pubs and restaurants.

It is home to the Phoenix Trail, a biking and walking trail popular with residents and visitors.

Those who had visited the area had praised it on Tripadvisor.

One wrote: "Early morning is best as there are fewer people walking. The other advantage of this is I see such a variety of wildlife birds, rabbits, foxes and deer."

Another added it is a "fabulous" route that is "well worth a visit".
