Prestatyn, Denbighshire, Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the top spot was Prestatyn in Wales – a seaside town in the north of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right on the coast, Prestatyn is a perfect spot for taking long walks on the beach, grabbing some fish and chips and sunbathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh hotspot has seen the biggest rise in Brits searching for UK staycations on Airbnb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Welsh destination also came in second place – Carmarthen in Camarthenshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carmarthen has been a market town since Roman time and its modern indoor market runs six days a week and draws huge crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the market, the town is full of independent shops, art galleries and vintage shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aintree, Merseyside, England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking bronze was Aintree in Merseyside, coming in top for English destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aintree is known for its race course, but there’s a lot more to do than just watch the horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town has shopping, pubs and walks along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, making for a very peaceful staycation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also just five miles from Liverpool so it’s easy to take a day trip into the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield City Centre, South Yorkshire, England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield has a huge amount to offer Brits who want to take a UK holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city has gone from being an industrial powerhouse to a rising star on the UK’s arts and culture scene, with a host of galleries, theatres and museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balloch, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balloch is the first Scottish destination to make it onto the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village is sat on the south west shores of Loch Lomond so there are plenty of beautiful walks along the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s just an hour from Glasgow and has excellent transport links so it’s easy to pop to the nearby city if you fancy a day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipping Norton is the highest town in Oxfordshire with stunning countryside views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is known for its antique shops and regular market, and has lots of choice of restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipping Norton is a great base for exploring further afield as it’s right on the edge of the Cotswolds, lying between Oxford and Stratford upon Avon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunbar is the second and final Scottish destination to make the top 10 list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is on the North Sea coast and is around 30 miles east of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunbar is famous for its art and has a free interactive art trail which is a perfect way of seeing the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as art, Dunbar is packed full of independent shops and historic buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merthyr Tydfil is the third and final Welsh destination on Airbnb’s list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is about 23 miles north of Cardiff so it’s a great spot to have some peace and quiet while still being fairly near to a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like walking then this is a perfect choice as the town has a host of valleys and hills with beautiful views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once you’ve finished, there’s loads of restaurants, pubs and cafes to grab a drink and a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowestoft, Suffolk, England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowestoft in Suffolk came in at number nine on the list and is the northernmost part of The Suffolk Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also famously the most easterly town in the UK and is the first place to see the sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is a popular choice for families as there is plenty to do, with two piers, a wildlife park, museums and a theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s even home to the Pleasurewood Hills theme park – perfect for thrill seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding out the top 10 list was Thirsk in North Yorkshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town is sat midway between the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales so it’s a great choice if you want to strap your walking boots on and set off on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historic town has a cobbled market square full of independent shops, restaurants and pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amanda Cupples, general manager for northern Europe at Airbnb, said: “The nation is set to enjoy the first Easter weekend without Covid restrictions in two years, and it’s great to see Brits are exploring up-and-coming areas of the UK to make the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The top trending destination list provides ample inspiration for those looking to get away and explore a new place over the long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By visiting these local destinations, Brits are supporting local economies and communities, and for those based in these destinations who are considering letting their home on Airbnb, now is a great time to sign up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
