A new study study has revealed the UK's top staycation spots for a weekend getaway.
The research, conducted by travel insurance company Forbes Advisor, scored UK locations based on factors such as the cost of eating out, the average price of a local Airbnb and transport costs in and around each town or city.
It also analysed the number of attractions per 10,000 people in each area to determine what places won't keep visitors bored.
Brighton finished 6th overall, finishing behind Oxford, York, Cambridge, Guildford and Nottingham in that order.
The city got a staycation score of 86.7/100, scoring particularly well on having a high number of restaurants per population (17.75 per 10,000 people) as well as reasonable average taxi fare of £1.71 per mile.
Brighton was the most expensive location overall out of the top ten, with prices of beers, dinners and Bnbs being notably higher than the other contenders.
Commenting on the findings, Laura Howard of Forbes Advisor said:
"The continued prospect of flight and airport disruptions, lingering Covid testing requirements in some popular overseas destinations and rising living costs are just some of the many good reasons why a short break within the UK might appeal this autumn.
"The good news is, our very own shores have so much to offer in terms of history, architecture, nature and scenery.
"Our research ranks the top staycation hotspots based on costs of local accommodation, eating out and transport in and around the town or city, as well as the local attractions to visit once you get there.
