Looking to make the most of the last of your summer holidays, but unsure what destination to head to next? Perhaps a brand new set of awards from Tripadvisor might add some inspiration to your itinerary?
The Travellers' Choice Awards recognise some of the world's best destinations, hotels, restaurants, and activities and are based entirely on the reviews and opinions of real travellers and diners from around the globe over 12 months.
The winners come from a ranking of the top 1% of all listings on Tripadvisor worldwide, and are given based on the quality and quantity of exceptional reviews and ratings for specific categories and geographic areas – and while we could be jet-setting around the world, we thought it best to keep things close to home.
Admittedly, getting an aeroplane ticket at this stage of the holidays might be asking a bit much.
So for those who would prefer the comfort of travelling around the United Kingdom to see out the great British summer holiday this year, we’ve picked the top 15 attractions, all once again voted for by users of the online platform, to aid you in your quest of what to do with the remaining time – and good weather currently – before returning to work later this year.
