There are a lot of peaceful locations in the UK for your golden years (Image: Getty) When you reach a certain age, the hustle and bustle of big cities becomes less and less appealing. The UK has stretches of beautiful coastline, with perfect little seaside towns that are perfect for retirement. A relaxed lifestyle and charming scenery have attracted pensioners for years - there's nothing like going for a calming stroll along the beach at sunset.

If you can't commit to moving completely, there are plenty of towns where buying a second home could pay off. Properties in Worthington, West Sussex average at £426,000 for a house, and £225,000 for a flat, reports The Telegraph. Sussex's charm has placed it at the top of the list for some of the best places to retire in the UK, and with great connections to nearby towns and quirky independent shops, its not hard to see why.
