UK's sunniest city is perfect for family staycations

Southampton boasts being one of the sunniest and warmest places in the UK, making it a perfect staycation destination for those seeking a bit of sunshine. In the coming year, the city is set to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen, who was known to spend time in Southampton.

"Visitors can download trails and explore Southampton's connections with Jane Austen or RMS Titanic," Nigel added. "Many like to picnic and watch the cruise ships depart late in the afternoon from vantage points along Southampton Water, including Mayflower Park, the Weston Shore and Netley. Or take a bike for a leisurely cycle ride through the 365 acre Southampton Common! ".

Southampton's history is vast and as such the SeaCity Museum and the Solent Sky Museum offer tourists an insight into the city's past, including the role of the Spitfire. If arts and heritage are of more interest, there is the God's House Tower, which was constructed in the 15th century at the height of the 100 Years War with France. The City Art Gallery is considered one of the finest art galleries outside of London.
