Cornwall has won the title of Favourite UK Holiday Destination in the British Travel Awards 2017 for a ninth year in a row.

Announced at a prestigious ceremony in London, the coveted award comes following a nomination by Visit Cornwall and a ‘show your love’ campaign, which was spearheaded by the tourism body to encourage both locals and visitors to vote.

The county has also been named ‘best UK destination for families’ in the Family Traveller Awards 2017. 

The Lost Gardens of Heligan won the best UK leisure attraction title, and Bude won silver for the best UK coastal resort.
