Follow on Google News | Best Places to Visit in March in the UKIt's late February, the sun is starting to shine, winter is no longer coming. But where are people looking to go on holiday? We took a look at our search data and found some interesting trends, but where are holidaymakers looking to visit this March?
By: Snaptrip There's a reason Yorkshire is known locally as 'God's Own Country', and tucked away in its Northern shores lies Whitby - the golden jewel in the crown of the ever popular North Yorkshire Coast. With its intriguing associations with the gothic (Bram Stoker is said to have found some of his inspiration for 'Dracula' after staying in Whitby in 1890...) and its sprawling harbours, there's a more than a few reasons for little Whitby's big popularity. Whitby has seen a huge 72% increase in the number of people searching for it in March from January of this year alone, and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. Angelsey Another beautiful coast line, Anglesey has been the most popular search destination in Wales for the month of March (by far). Interestingly, Wales was the most searched area on Snaptrip for March, triumphing over England, Scotland & Ireland for those in search of the perfect cottage break. More than just being the most searched, Anglesey has experienced the steepest jump in searches since January. And understandably so; the principality has some of the best value cottages in the whole of the UK, as well as arguably the best outdoor activities which naturally suit a warmer climate. Bath Bath is in a great location for visits during the spring, particularly those travelling from London. Located only a two hours drive from the capital, but also within reach of several other major population hubs, Bath in the springtime starts to really pick up with weekend tourism. With the impressive Cheddar Gorge as well as the typically English towns of the Cotswolds such as Bourton-on-the- New Forest Fun fact: New Forest isn't new at all - it got its name around 1079, in the time of William the Conquerer, while the forest itself stretches back into Saxon times. The National Park thing, that's slightly more recent - as of 2005 this site has been officially recognised for its exceptional beauty. Since January, our Snaptrip searches for New Forest have gone and quadrupled, forecasting March as a month of landscape exploring, wildlife spotting, and some southern English relaxation. York These ancient, cobbled streets are packed with tourist-friendly activities and more than a few tourists, but York has never lost its traditional charm. Famous for its century-spanning appeal, this Yorkshire city, home to the great York Minster and those rickety shopping streets, has tripled in searches since this January. March also sees York's Literature Festival, so all you writerly fellows can soak up some history and find your inspiration. End
