The beautiful UK seaside towns in one of the places where people live longest

New data has revealed which seaside towns are located in one of the places where people can expect to live the longest lives in the UK.

The country is famous for its many beautiful coastal settlements. But these seem to be the places where people can expect to have the lenghtiest innings.

The Office for National Statistics has published a list of local authorities in England and Wales, ranking them according to how long people live there.

Hart in Hampshire comes out on top in regards to male life expectancy. Men live until they are 83.44 years old on average there.

Women, who tend to die later than than men, live until they are 85.89 years on average.

Next is Uttlesford, where blokes can last until they are 82.96 on average.

Women, though, live until they are 85.95 on average.

Going down the leaderboard from there, men live long lives in Wokingham, Richmond-upon-Thames, South Cambridgeshire, Waverley, Surrey Heath, Mole Valley and Elmbridge.

Starting from the top, women live the longest in Kensington and Chelsea, also Richmond, Winchester and Uttlesford.

A coastal area where both sexes can expect lengthy existences is South Hams.

Here, women live typically until they are 85.91 years old, while men live until the age of 82.14 on average.

South Hams is located between Plymouth and Torquay in Devon.

It has several seaside towns, namely Salcombe, East Prawle, Hallsands, Beesands, Slapton, Strete, Dartmouth, Thurlestone, Bantham, Chellaborough, Morthecombe, Noss Mayo and Wembury.

The area is well known for its natural beauty, with the north of the district including a section of Dartmoor National Park.

South Hams’ coastline forms most of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

In the west, part of the area lies within the Tamar Valley AONB. The seaside also includes the incredible points of high land – Start Point and Bolt Head.

South Hams’ history goes all the way back to being part of the Celtic Kingdom of Dumnonia. More recently, in 1944, several villages were evacuated in the area so that training for D-Day could be carried out confidentially.

The region was chosen because of the resemblance of its beaches to those found in Normandy where the crucila allied landings would take place.
