New research reveals that two local cities in Northern Ireland have ranked in the top 3 for most chilled out in the UK.
A new study recently conducted by vaping experts IndeJuice used ONS well-being data to analyse levels of happiness, life satisfaction, anxiety and worthwhile in every city in the United Kingdom to establish which city is the most and least chilled out.
Chichester came out on top, with an index score of eight. It also ranks as the fourth least anxious city in the UK.
Coming in at second place is Newry, with the highest points for feelings of worthwhile, and third for both life satisfaction and happiness, giving the city a chilled-out index score of 16.
Lisburn narrowly comes in at third, with an overall score of 20.
Commenting on the study, a spokesperson from IndeJuice said: “The current climate of the UK is undoubtedly a stressful one, so it is vital to prioritise relaxation where we can.
“These findings offer a fascinating insight into which cities in the UK have higher levels of well-being and relaxation and serves as a useful guide to anyone seeking a more relaxed lifestyle.”
