Vehicle leasing comparison site Lease Fetcher has named Rutland as the 'safest' destination in England for a summer road trip.

Lease Fetcher dug deep into Government data for the total number of lab-confirmed UK coronavirus cases to identify the top 10 'safest' locations in England - the areas which have had the lowest percentage of their population infected.

"Most of our top spots are in the south of England.

"If you head to areas like Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, East Sussex, and Somerset, you'll never be far from the beach.

"If you're not about the beachy life, Wiltshire and Bath and North East Somerset are great options packed with history and culture.

"And if you don't fancy the south, Rutland and North East Lincolnshire are the outliers, offering a safer spot closer to home if you hail from the north.

"These 'safe' locations on our list are deemed so since they have a low number of cases - and they certainly want to keep it that way!

"We are by no means suggesting that everyone that reads this goes flocking to these 10 locations!," says the company website.

With data from the UK Government (Covid-19 infections), the ONS (population data) and Google (Review rankings) LeaseFetcher has created a table where road trippers can see destinations and campgrounds by things such as Google rating and Covid-19 infection rates.

Lease Fetcher's top 10 'safest' English destinations:

  1. Rutland
  2. Cornwall
  3. Dorset
  4. Devon
  5. North East Lincolnshire
  6. Wiltshire
  7. Bath & North Somerset
  8. Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole
  9. Somerset
  10. East Sussex
