Gordon:
Nothing against England, but if you're going to drop everything and move to another country consider New Zealand - some of the best hunting and fishing in the world is over there.

Del the cat:
England is only small but is very varied, so it's hard to generalise. Some places are very cheap due to local unemployment (e.g some areas of Wales) Others are V expensive (e.g anywhere close to London or the coast).
If you have an area in mind then you can find rental prices on the internet.
Again there is everything form dead flat and boring (East Anglia) to rocky coastline (Cornwall) to Mountains or rolling chalk downland (my fave).
I'm in Harlow 45 mins by train North of London, it's a 'New Town' (Built to house the people bombed out of London so it's a bit modern), however it's close to London and historic places and the countryside is flattish but not too far from the coast or rolling hills.
One thing you will have to get used to is our entirely different concept of distance... to us a 2hour drive is a 'long way' whereas I imagine that in your vat country it would be considered 'just up the road'  ;D
Huntin' shootin' & fishin' in UK can be expensive... and NO bowhunting :o (illegal in UK)

I'm with Gordon. NZ for outdoors, extreme sports, and super laid back nice people. Plus you can call yourself a converted kiwi ;)

peasant1381:
I'm English but I've lived in NZ for 22 years. Each country has it's pro and cons.

My experience is this:

England for family,the English people, history, closeness to Europe, beer and the fact that spiritually it'll always be home.

NZ for climate, outdoor lifestyle, a lot less people - 4.5 million v 60 million in approx the same land area, better food and a lower cost of living.

The main drawback about NZ is when you want to travel overseas. It costs a lot money and it takes a long time.
