By the Sea?

[Timelord]

A typical resource rich site would be where a tidal estuary narrows and is fed in the nearby area by freshwater rivers/streams. A non glaciated part of the UK like the more Southern areas where the soil is much richer and still has ancient deep deposits not ground away by glacial action. This soil type supports a greater variety of plant, tree and animal life. The dwelling site to be raised on a small hill or low promontory to aid defence and ease of access to the resources, whilst avoiding flood events. The lie of the land is important because you do not want to be cut off and isolated in the event of a flood - Unless you purposefully choose a raised site that is isolated by high Winter water levels. This could be a wetland environment like the Somerset levels where you adapt to water borne transport in the Wet season.

The Tidal estuarine river environment, combined with the freshwater feed inlets and the nearby sea coast would give the most variety of easy to acquire food items for less effort. The local vegetation should include deciduous woodland, possibly hedgerow and if possible fertile farmland.
The raised site should give good onshore wind flow to utilise for small wind turbines and for visibility.

This type of environment was most favoured by our ancient ancestors including Hunter gatherers.

Obviously not for the wind turbines!! lol.
