According to Park Leisure, 21 per cent of Brits are planning a winter staycation, with the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall at the top of most people’s lists.

The holiday park operator found 25 per cent of those surveyed preferred to holiday at this time of year because it’s more peaceful than during peak season.

While countryside and seaside locations are always popular, you may be interested to know there were a number of cities within the top ten too.
