Britain’s largest protected wetland among top choices for UK holidays
A survey conducted among British vacationers revealed that Norfolk Broads, the country’s largest protect wetland, became one of the top choices whenever they spend their UK holidays.
According to reports, the wetland entered the top ten in UK holiday destinations. The national park ranked ninth. The survey was conducted by Travelodge and it covered 3,300 residents in United Kingdom. About a third of the respondents stated in their answers that they will be planning trips within the UK later this year.
Topping the list of preferred UK holidays are Lake District and Cornwall. Surprisingly, tourist areas such as Cotswolds did not make it to the elite ten. The reason behind the increased interest in Norfolk region is the presence of boating and nature-related activities that the family will surely love. The additional factor is that the trip is relatively short rather than going on a trip outside the country.
Broads Tourism Forum Chairman Ian Russell said that the national park status of the wetlands only increased the attractiveness of the place for tourists all over.
