–Easter can change the equation

March brings longer days and gradually warmer temperatures, but weather can remain chilly and wet. If Easter falls in March, visitor numbers and accommodation prices can rise sharply.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
