A long way from the start - how far away from your birth town do you live ?

From N W London to N W Kent.

I moved from Kent to Scotland when I married for the second time 28 years ago . Just over 400 miles

Lived in different houses all over country for past 40 years. Now live in same street where born.

Born in London
Still in London

My parents lived in the same house all their married life until mum died in 2002. 56 years. Not that many seem to do that now. They were both in the RAF during the war, perhaps that unsettling time made them want to stay put and stay safe !

I live about 68 miles away.

I was born in Dublin and now live in Sussex. About three hundred miles?

68 miles from my birthplace, London. I love that city but oh my how it has changed.

Born in Weymouth, Dorset (Mums home town) and lived there till the age of 2. Moved to Preston, Lancashire (Dad’s home town) till the age of 9. Moved back to Weymouth cos Mum wasn’t happy and lived there till the age of 22 when my husband’s work meant we moved to Oxfordshire. Stayed there till we both retired when we moved back to Weymouth 3 years ago. We think we’re very lucky to live here again, it’s like being on permanent holiday now we can do what we like when we like. Only drawback is being so far from children and grandchildren who are in Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

MelanieGreen, you may have read my comment, I don't know.
We are in Weymouth, left our home towns ( In Hamphire and the Midlands ) to train in Weymouth as teachers in the 1970s.
Got jobs in Cornwall but moved back to Weymouth 9 years later with 3 little girls as we were too cut off from their grandparents .
We have been here 33 years now.
We certainly would never move back to Hampshire or the Midlands, Cornwall would very much tempt us though.
Three, nearly four of our granchildren are in Chickerell and Rodden, so really close and the other two + foster children are in Somerset, so less than an hour.
Our daughters, obviously, did not want to become teachers and also did not want to move too far away because they had been brought up themselves so far away from their grandparents.

Born in the West Midlands moved to West London in my twenties. Moved to the West of Scotland in my fifties. Now living in North East England.

6316 miles - London to Nairobi

From the coast to 1 mile inland

I'm about 30 miles away from where I was born

222 miles at present but may move much nearer when I downsize as homes are cheaper up north. I think a lot depends on whether people leave to go to University as they often stay in that area after graduating. Those who get a job after leaving school are much more likely to stay fairly local I believe.

300 miles

Had a quick search for the right info, and it's 2,744 miles.

I live 100 miles away from where I was born and raised

Not far enough away unfortunately
