A study has revealed that Weybridge in Surrey is Britain's most fertile town.
Women living there take an average of just three months to conceive, compared to the UK average of six months, and are more likely to fall pregnant than in any other area, reports The Sun.
The town is part of the posh Elmbridge district, named this week as Britain's best place to live, with official statistics showing its birth rate shot up by 20 per cent between 2002 and 2008.
Parenting website Gurgle.com carried out the study, based on number of pregnancies by population and the average time taken to conceive.
The second most fertile area is Jersey, followed by the small village of Winkleigh, Devon. Women in Brighton fall pregnant the fastest, but they have fewer pregnancies than other top 10 towns. Eight of the 10 most fertile areas are in the South, and all are outside the major cities.
Gurgle.com editor Nifa McLaughlin said, "It seems the less frantic pace of life outside big cities helps couples conceive."
