Holiday in May


Beginning with playground scenes, Ray Young, accompanied by family members, tours coastal towns in Kent and Sussex. Rye is the first stop followed by Battle Abbey where they enjoy a picnic and explore the ruins. At a cafe in Eastbourne, the boys eat ice-cream with wafers before visiting the shingle beach and later, the sea front gardens. The final stop is at Hastings where they visit the castle high on the cliffs as well as the sea front. We end with views over the seaside town.
