Tucked away in West Yorkshire, it is not as prolific as cities such as London, Birmingham, or Manchester, but it holds its own in terms of cultural offerings and lifestyle. According to the recent Barclay’s Prosperity Map, Leeds is the sixth richest city in the UK and the richest city in the north of England.

While it s no surprise that an island as picturesque as the Caribbean s Martinique was named the number one place for travellers to have on their radar, anyone who has been to picture-perfect
St Ives will agree that it s deserving of the
fifth spot on TripAdvisor s 2021 list.

A Tripadvisor spokesperson said: “With indoor activities mostly off the table in 2020, travellers headed for the great outdoors and according to a recent survey of Tripadvisor travellers, more than half (52%) say they are more likely to take an outdoor or nature trip than they were before the pandemic. With this in mind, it seemed timely to introduce this year’s new category, National Parks. While the pandemic has been incredibly tough in lots of ways, one positive that we can take away is that it has unleashed a new found love of getting back to nature for many of us.
