The travel expert team at PowerEPOS have looked for the UK’s sunniest staycation destinations for 2023. A coastal city made the top spot.
Brighton and Hove was the sunniest place in the UK, according to the team with an average of 1,892 annual sunshine hours.
The coastal city could be the perfect place to spend a weekend this summer, with a better chance of sunshine than other destinations.
Although Brighton Beach is obviously one of the city’s top attractions, tourists could also spend some time wandering the Lanes.
The Lanes are a labyrinth of shops, squares and cafes, filled with treasures and souvenirs to discover.
A tourist ‘Ian B’ wrote on Tripadvisor: “Great time! Brilliant time to browse, people watch and eat. Lots of retro music and clothes shops and wonderful places to have lunch.”
Another visitor ‘Paul F’ wrote: “Wonderful area for shopping with the best collection of independent jewellers you will ever see in one place. Fully pedestrianised and a real pleasure to walk around.”
Tourists should also check out the city’s famous Royal Pavilion, one of Brighton’s most incredible architectural landmarks.
A visitor ‘Jane53england’ wrote on Tripadvisor: “What a spectacular place to visit. The decorations and furnishings are fabulous.”
