I didn't have kids until I moved to Iceland but it's pretty idyllic for them here as well. We live in downtown Reykjavik and its perfectly safe for them to walk to and from school alone and do stuff around town together. I'm not sure how that differs to the UK now but my childhood was filled with building tree houses in farmers fields and that sort of thing and I can't really see them growing up differently even if we had to move back.

Child in the UK now - "whats a tree?"

Not convinced. My 8,10yr kids love climbing trees. Also in the last few days it's been so windy that we often get a tree or branches falling into the road!
