No matter where you are from, there is typically a divide between the “better off” and “less better off” areas in the region.

There may be that one part of your town, city or county that seems posher than the rest.

The Telegraph recently compiled a list of Britain’s 15 poshest towns.

There were various places listed across the country the outlet described as “perfect locations for a getaway this spring”.
