With Brits cancelling foreign holidays as a re sult of lockdown restrictions and ever-changing quarantine rules, many are choosing to take their breaks in the United Kingdom.

With so much choice within our own shores, Truckman has asked the public where they would head in the UK to help others plan their next break, which could extend into 2021 if travel restrictions to popular international destinations remain.

Of the 14,000 people questioned, 25 percent chose Cornwall, followed by Scotland (14 percent) and Devon (5 percent), Wales (4 percent) and the Lake District (4 percent).

The most popular choice of accommodation among staycationing Brits are cottages (44 percent), followed by hotels and B&Bs (18 percent). Camping and glamping also prove to be more popular than caravanning with 17 percent of people preferring to sleep under canvas ahead of a caravan break (10 percent).

One of the advantages of a staycation is the opportunity to load the car up with luggage without having to worry about airline baggage weight limits. This is particularly helpful for owners of 4x4s, including pick-up trucks, which can keep their cases, bags and other items secure and safe in the truck-bed underneath a Truckman hardtop.

The most popular large item to take on a staycation among those questioned is bikes (10 percent) as holidaymakers make the most of the UK’s wide-open spaces and country roads to enjoy cycling. With the opportunity to take more than their beachwear and sun cream in their cases, respondents gave an eclectic mix of items they’d take on their staycation including barbeques, extra large binoculars, pets and their own bed!

Mike Wheeler, Executive Chairman of Truckman, said: "We are blessed with so many fantastic and varied locations to enjoy a UK staycation, but it appears Cornwall is the place to go. For those who have never been and are planning their next holiday in England later this year or in 2021, Cornwall’s beautiful countryside, dramatic Moorland, rugged coastland and beautiful beaches can be a great choice.

“Nobody knows how soon restrictions on travelling to other countries will be relaxed so more and more people will be exploring what the UK has to offer. Having the extra space to pack whatever you want to take on your holiday is an added bonus for staycationers who can load up their cars and 4x4 with anything they want to enjoy their British adventure!”
