Honestly, if you're seriously considering moving, then check them both out. You can review both Dover and Concord in a day. NH is a small state in a car. You know yourself better than any of us; so you should really visit before making a big decision like this.

I live in Concord so I can give you a little bit about this city.

-Regarding your username, Concord has Gibson's Bookstore which is one of the best indie bookstores.

-Trails, outdoor walks, etc. Easy yes.

-Lots of grocery stores. Some health food stores, Concord Food Co-Op comes to mind.

-Plenty of good restaurants. I'm not sure about gluten free restaurants but I'm guessing yes.

-Theres a nice Main St. downtown. They have been putting more effort into building it up and making it more of a walking destination. Also regarding dating, restaurants, nightlife, etc...even if you aren't the happiest with an element that's in Concord, Manchester is only 20 mins away. Biggest city in Northern New England.

-Concord hospital complex is really nice and extensive. It's not some small rural hospital. It's legit.
