I would like to find a peaceful spot in the UK, in the country and leave USA, got any tips?

I lost most everything in US meltdown and must live very frugally on fixed income. Is it even possible. Furthermore are rolling fields like on "Last of the Summer Wine" pure fantasy? I love that little village in this mild Britcom. Perfect for the likes of me. I expect it is impossible but I am checking it out. Any feedback will be appreciated. Retired newsman, trained for accounting with an MBA and could do part time work. Possible or not? In early sixties and single, a lot like the character Clegger.
