Your views ofRH1

AF, redhill

Saturday, February 23, 2019

I like this area because it is very tranquil and safe, lovely woods, parks and lakes for families and animal lovers. The area has schools and a train station, it is very clean and people are very friendly and helpful. It has many shops and businesses that can satisfy personal daily necessities and offers many restaurants and pubs for enjoyment of young and old and I found the love of a lifetime.
