A Cheshire beauty spot is the best place to visit this half term.

Quarry Bank has been named as the best National Trust site in the UK.

That is according to a new study carried out by Fruity King, who analysed all 610 National Trust locations.

Each site was given a score based on the number of facilities and accessibility features available.

Quarry Bank claimed top spot with a score of 33, out of a possible 40.

A spokesperson for Fruity King commented on the study: "This list of National Trust sites gives visitors a quick indication of which heritage spots offer the most variety to guests, and how accessible each site is."

Meanwhile, it achieved a perfect 20 score for accessibility, with features such as braille, ramp access and a virtual tour.
