Bristol's house prices have rocketed over the past decade so it's no surprise people are moving further outside of the city to find cheaper accommodation. In a recent study, conducted by money.co.uk, researchers found that certain commuter towns near Bristol ranked better than others.
The study looked at things to do, nightlife, population aged 20-39, commute time, average house price and average rent to arrive at an overall score. Weston-super-Mare topped the list, with a 6.35 rating out of 10. Located in North Somerset, the town provides the best of both worlds, it's a seaside location, with lots of shops and cultural events - and is just 45 minutes from Bristol.
It has a population of 88,244, with 23.39% being people between the ages of 20 and 39. Per thousand people there are 12.24 activities to choose from as well as 3.17 nightlife places such as bars and clubs.
