Leeds has been crowned the best place in the UK for a day out.
This is ideal news for parents starting to plan summer holidays for their little ones. Inspired by this, Tombola carried out a study which saw them analyse 1,393,370 TripAdvisor reviews in 20 of the UK’s most popular destinations.
A spokesperson said: “With the school summer holidays only weeks away, families will be planning days out to entertain the children during the long six weeks off school. Recent reports suggest that Brits are still choosing to holiday at home.” According to the index, Leeds scored 64 points in total across all four key criteria.
