Last updated 12th Mar 2022
After a long, stormy winter, swathes of bluebells, daffodils and tulips will soon be blooming and adding colour to gardens across the UK.
Holiday rentals site, HomeToGo, says searches for where to see spring flowers are starting to trend and its data shows Cornwall is the top 'staycation' spot for doing just that!
By comparing the number of public gardens with early blooms on show, their variety of spring flowers, and the median price per night for a holiday home in the area, HomeToGo has created a ranking of the best UK counties for botanical breaks.
Cornwall, the country's most popular staycation destination, took the top spot.
The Duchy was followed by Kent and Sussex in second and third place, with Devon in fourth and Yorkshire in fifth.
UK Market Manager at HomeToGo, Eleanor Moody, said: "We’re excited to release this guide to help staycationers find the perfect place in which to enjoy nature during the spring season.
"The demand for domestic destinations remains strong in the UK market, with rural cottages reigning as an accommodation of choice for travellers opting to spend their holidays closer to home.
"Dog-friendly lettings are also particularly popular, with 38% of all searches in 2022 so far via hometogo.co.uk using the ‘pets allowed’ filter.
"Holidaymakers travelling with their canine companions will be pleased to know that plenty of the gardens included in this study allow dogs on leads".
HomeToGo lists Antony Woodland Garden, Caerhays Castle Gardens, Cotehele, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Trebah Gardens as some of the best places in Cornwall to see spring flowers.
