Andrew Robertson, head of marketing for bestvaluefares.co.uk, says: "Our poll found the places that Brits would most like to visit if money were no object, but as finance is one of the biggest influencers in terms of holiday planning, we scoured the country for the best alternatives on our doorstep.
"As well as being great for the environment, there are real bargains to be had when travelling by train, particulary if passengers can book in advanve and be flexible about when they travel. This leaves rail travellers with more to spend exploring the great British beauty spots."
