Google has revealed the most searched for holiday destinations by Britons in 2014 - and French capital Paris is the place you were most inspired by this year.

Just a short hop from the UK and offering romance, culture and a wonderful atmosphere any time of year, it's no wonder The City of Lights is seen as the most interesting place to visit for a short break.

In second place was the USA, followed by America's most favoured destination, New York. The only UK holiday spot to make the list was Cornwall, while London, which was named the world's most visited city in 2014 by MasterCard, was not a popular destination for Brits searching for ideas and inspiration using the search engine..

Italy was revealed as the top rising holiday destination, where both George Clooney and Kim Kardashian tied the knot in 2014, encouraging more weddings abroad.

With more cheap flights from the UK and a great place to witness the Northern Lights in a year of significant solar activity, Iceland is the second holiday location we became more interested in this year. Other travel spots UK travellers are more intrigued by include Portugal, Croatia and Benidorm.
