For a village of its size, Burnham Market has a buzzing and vibrant food scene and is home to some of the best restaurants and shops Norfolk has to offer.

The study by Furniturebox found Stratford-upon-Avon to be the happiest place, closely followed by Harrogate in North Yorkshire and Whitley Bay in Tyne and Wear.
