Airbnb has revealed its top trending destinations for UK staycations this Easter weekend, and Thirsk has made the list.

With summer just around the corner, we are hoping for better weather to aid plans to explore seaside destinations as well as locations in the countryside for the long weekend.

Thirsk placed 10th on the list with Airbnb sharing this dreamy home as inspiration for people planning a Thirsk getaway.

The self-catered property is tastefully decorated and perfect for a city escape.

On Tripadvisor, you will find an extensive list of things to do and places to visit on a weekend away. From a visit to Sutton Bank National Park to a walk up the White Horse of Kilburn, it’s no wonder this is an Airbnb top place to stay this Easter.

The number one destination for the UK is the seaside town Prestatyn in Wales. It has seen the biggest rise in Brits searching for stays on the platform. It is joined by more seaside towns, including Lowestoft in England and Dunbar in Scotland, perfect for those seeking a tranquil waterside escape.

Wales has also emerged as a popular destination for Brits in the coming weeks, with three out of 10 areas in the list based there. Brits are set to embrace putting on hiking gear and discovering the rolling hills surrounding Merthyr Tydfil and Carmarthen over the Easter weekend.

Other destinations piquing the interest of the nation include quaint English market towns Thirsk and Chipping Norton for visitors to soak up the local heritage, and perhaps Jeremy Clarkson’s farm.
