Ever wondered what keeps the UK’s tourism industry ticking over?
At Pegasus Marine Finance, we polled the general public to find out where in the UK they plan on sunning it up this summer.
From city retreats to Edinburgh, Manchester and London to romantic getaways in Loch Lomond and the Lake District, the UK’s top 50 features the usual suspects plus plenty of hidden gems you might want to visit yourself.
