The research by holiday cottage company holidaycottages.co.uk, which gathered responses from over 12,000 UK holidaymakers, asked people to reflect on the places and experiences that bring them the most joy while on a UK break. The results saw Keswick place 2nd overall and Ambleside take 8th place, giving Cumbria two locations in the national top 10 happiest holiday destinations. Cumbrian holiday letting agency Sally’s Cottages is celebrating Keswick’s recognition as runner-up in the UK’s ultimate ‘happy places’. "This survey result reflects what our guests tell us year after year. We’re thrilled to see them both recognised in the nationwide survey of the UK’s happiest places.”For the full list of happiest towns and villages in Cumbria, you can click here.
