Mendip is the third best place to work from home in the UK, a new piece of research has revealed - with praise to superfast broadband, good schools, low crime and the amount of green space.
A fifth of UK workers want to work from home more often, and almost one in five are planning to move or have already moved home due to remote working, the research by Uswitch.com has found.
Bath comes in second, before Mendip which ranks the UK's biggest towns and cities on seven metrics, including crime rate, green spaces and number of local GPs.
With a fifth (19%) of workers wanting to work from home more often, broadband speed is considered the most important factor by a third (34%) of people moving to a new area,
According to the research almost a fifth of people (17%) say they have already moved or want to relocate due to the benefits of working from home.
People generally want to move from cities and larger towns to smaller towns and villages.
One in four (23%) currently live in a city of more than 500,000 residents, but only one in nine (13%) wish to do so in the future. Conversely, the proportion who live in a village is only 15%, but rises to three in ten (30%) who would like to do so.
