The popular caravan destinations of Cumbria and Yorkshire are good choices for Christmas holidays, it has been claimed.
According to VisitEngland, such areas are great for last-minute deals in winter and offer a number of options for those taking a break from their normal working life.
A recent iknow-uk report found that Brits are increasingly favouring the Lake District and Yorkshire as their festive destination of choice, with 20 per cent and 36 per cent of holiday searches respectively.
Commenting, VisitEngland head of strategy Jenny McGee said that heading off to a “cosy cottage” or “recreating … childhood memories”, such as those spent in a caravan, is popular during the winter months.
“Visitors can enjoy long walks through stunning countryside before tucking into their Christmas dinner or finding a warm and welcoming pub to sneak into for a cup of mulled wine … making [the north of England] an excellent destination for a last-minute winter break,” she said.
Recent statistics from VisitBritain show that the average spend per tourist has increased of late, despite a drop in visitor numbers.
