Travel experts from the marketplace have revealed that Aberdeenshire in Scotland is the most secluded British destination followed by the Highlands and Suffolk.
According to travel experts from Snaptrip.com, Aberdeenshire, located in North East Scotland, is a vast area that only has a population of 261,470 with many of those located in the city of Aberdeen itself.
The top five most remote areas in the UK are Strathdon, Aberdeenshire; Invergarry, the Highlands; Sibton, Suffolk; Tavistock, West Devon; East Meon, East Hampshire.
The travel experts considered factors such as population per square mile, urban development, accessibility and distance between settlements in order to determine the most remote destinations in the UK. All locations in the top ten benefit from few main roads or motorways, limited commercial developments such as shopping centres and minimal housing.
