Fountains Abbey

Just Go! Holidays has unveiled a collection of new escorted heritage breaks, created in association with the National Trust.

Historic houses and famous gardens, as well as areas of outstanding natural beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are offered on the new tours, which currently have various dates scheduled for this year.

All National Trust itineraries are planned to deliver an insight into the places visited, often including private tours and exclusive access. Guests will be escorted by a knowledgeable tour manager.
