Reflecting on the findings, Simon Stirling of Direct2Florist said: “One of the best things about the UK are the quaint little side streets and beautiful roads which make up some of our oldest and best towns and cities.
"Some of these streets are world famous, and with travel most likely restricted to the UK this summer, there couldn’t be a better time to get out there and tick these beauty spots off your bucket list.
“With city breaks becoming a bigger focus this year, we wanted to pull together a handy guide of the most beautiful streets to visit post lockdown, and did so through Instagram - on the logic that the more hashtags for the street, the more photogenic and more beautiful it was.
"These are the perfect streets to visit this summer for a cake and a coffee or a pint.”
Streets were compiled based on newspaper survey data of the UK’s most beautiful streets and ranked based on the total number of Instagram hashtags.
