Holidays

No other city in northern England says ‘medieval’ quite like York. The centre is surrounded by a magnificent circuit of 13th century walls which encloses a medieval spider’s web of narrow streets. At its heart lies the immense, awe inspiring York Minster, one of the largest and most beautiful Gothic Cathedrals in the world.

Expect exquisite gardens, beautiful parks, handsome tree lined boulevards and a chance to lose yourself in the vibrant charm and elegance of this North Yorkshire destination. Harrogate itself is a blend of fine historic buildings and independent shops and restaurants, enveloped in 200 acres of parkland.

Shrewsbury is set amidst the glorious Shropshire countryside near to the Welsh Borders and is one of England’s finest medieval market towns and the birthplace of Charles Darwin. The town has over 600 listed buildings including the Castle and the Abbey (home of the fictional Brother Cadfael)

This wonderfully scenic holiday is a true gem, often described as the ‘Backbone of England’ the Pennine Hills form a more or less continuous range stretching northwards from the Peak District incorporating parts of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester, through the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines up to the Tyne Gap.

Eastbourne and the Haddon Hall Hotel have become established as firm favourites of Jay & Kay customers. Eastbourne has plenty to offer, with all the traditional seaside attractions such as the pier, miles of beaches, arcades, restaurants, cafes and bars. Add to this the wonderfully kept level promenade, with plenty of seating, an excellent town centre for shopping and many theatres for a variety of shows, it is easy to see why it is so popular.
