There are plenty of attractions in this stunning area including the ever popular city of Chester, the beautiful Clwydian Mountain Range, Snowdonia national park and the many historic castles of North Wales.

With a combination of the romantic medieval image and an up to date city; Cambridge’s unique setting on the River Cam, the “backs” and the magnificent architecture of the University buildings combine to make Cambridge the most unforgettable place.

As a UNESCO World Heritage City, Liverpool has a unique mix of contemporary and classic architecture, not to mention two magnificently different Cathedrals and of course, the stunning Liverpool Waterfront.

Style, elegance and the height of the summer social calendar all combine on Gold Cup Day, also known as ‘Ladies’ Day’. Although the whole week of Royal Ascot is a fashion show like no other, it is Thursday when the designer creations and millinery masterpieces reach new heights.

Why not combine your visit to London with a visit to two of the Historic Royal Palaces owned by Her Majesty the Queen? ‘The Tower of London’ despite its grim reputation as a Medieval Palace and a powerful fortress, is a sight not to be missed and don’t forget the magnificent Crown Jewels! ‘Kensington Palace’ which was home to Diana, Princess of Wales & Queen Victoria has been newly renovated for you to discover its history and explore its amazing sights. This break is a unique chance to visit two of the greatest palaces ever built!

Christmas & New Year

The Rhine Valley Germany

Thursford Spectacular

Spanish Christmas & New Year

The 65km-stretch of the Middle Rhine Valley, with its castles, historic towns and vineyards, graphically illustrates the long history of human involvement with a dramatic and varied natural landscape.

The Thursford Christmas Spectacular is the biggest and most exciting Christmas show of all time in Britain.

Come and experience the popular blend of Christmas entertainment, with dazzling dancers, beautiful costumes, Christmas songs, carols, including outstanding music and singing from a cast of over one hundred. Each show is a pageant of spectacle and colour – the music a seamless transition from an up-beat dance routine to a choral rendition of a Christmas carol, a show which would not be out of place in any London’s West End theatres.

New for 2014!

Why not spend the entire festive season with Yorkshire Rose?

Italian Riviera Resonating with style and charm, this sweeping shore curves between France’s Côte d’Azur and Tuscany.

Its beaches border sparkling blue Mediterranean waters, its seaside towns for the most part exude an atmosphere of old-world ritziness. A warm year round climate has ensured wonderful palms, exotic plants and the name “Riviera dei Fiori” the Riviera of Flowers.

It is intimately associated with history and legend and for centuries has exercised a powerful influence on writers, artists and composers.

Sit back, relax and enjoy Christmas & New Year in Callela and let us take care of all your festive arrangements! With gala dinners and festive entertainment, this Spanish Christmas will be one not to forget.

Please remember that some amenities (e.g. hotel lifts, swimming pools, etc.) require servicing and cleaning and may not therefore be available at all times. Some services may be affected by weather conditions and their availability is entirely at the discretion of the provider of the service.
