Windermere has officially been voted the UK's most stunning view.

One of the most famous spots in the Lake District, the 10.5-mile lake is famed for being surrounded by stunning mountain peaks and villages.

Visited by over 18 million tourists a year, the area is one of the most photographed in the country.

The study, conducted by Isuzu, found that nine in ten of the 2,000 Brits surveyed say they are planning a UK-based adventure this year.

However, despite 49 per cent saying they want to discover new parts of the UK, almost eight in ten (77 per cent) worry that their car wouldn’t survive a UK staycation especially if they ventured off-road.

In addition to this, over a quarter (28 per cent) admit that the idea of driving off track makes them feel nervous, making it difficult for them to reach many of the stunning locations they want to.

Over half (56 per cent) believe that the UK is underrated when it comes to how beautiful it is, with a further 49 per cent admitting that its natural beauty makes them feel proud to be British.

51 per cent go so far as to say that when it’s sunny, the UK almost feels like you could be abroad, so much so that 40 per cent would love to enjoy more stay-cations.

Half of the respondents said there is nothing better than tucking into an ice cream on the beach while holidaying at home, with a further 50 per cent loving a cosy Sunday roast in a great pub.

Drinking a cool beer in a pub garden on a hot day (44 per cent), enjoying a cream tea (43 per cent) and having a picnic in the park (41 per cent) are also activities that Brits are looking forward to doing this year.
