The national list was topped by Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire, which recorded a whopping 17,508 searches a month.

The other southwest destination to sneak into the top 10 was Dundas Aqueduct, at Monkton Combe near Bath, which was ranked the ninth most popular waterside location.

Stewart Barnett, the head of Marketing at InsureMy, said: “With the ongoing costs of living crisis, many people choose to have day trips out to scenic UK locations instead of going abroad.

“These findings feature stunning landscapes that offer visitors the perfect places to visit.”
