Harrogate is back in the top three happiest places to live in Great Britain, according to a survey of tens of thousands of residents now in its tenth year.
Property website Rightmove is behind the poll, which measured factors such as community spirit, nature and the opportunity to develop skills locally.
This year's poll of more than 21,000 people gave the Northumberland market town of Hexham the top spot, Richmond upon Thames in Greater London second place and Harrogate third.
While Harrogate previously topped the "happy at home index" in 2015, the spa town dropped to ninth place in the survey last year.
