A Sussex village which is a "haven for wildlife" has been named among Britain's best locations to work from home.
Amberley in Sussex, was included alongside 19 other locations in a list from the Daily Mail, which analysed various criteria.
Factors that were analysed included house prices, connectivity, access to the countryside and proximity to a town or city.
Discussing the creation of the list, the publication wrote: "The days when people moving from the city bought up isolated small holdings to live the ‘good life’ disappeared with Covid. Today’s relocators have different criteria.
