Miller Homes Encourages Yorkshire Residents to Revive a Great British Tradition

June 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Enjoying a picnic is a wonderfully British tradition that can be enjoyed by everyone from 2 - 102! So, why not dust down your picnic hamper, roll out the blankets and join in National Picnic Week (http://www.nationalpicnicweek.co.uk/) 16th - 22nd June.

The event which takes place each year encourages people to exchange picnic recipes and to go and explore the great outdoors. Or, if the weather is typically British and a little inclement, why not take your picnic to your garden or even your living room!

"Picnicking is one of the highlights of British summer time and is an inexpensive way to while away a summer’s day whatever the weather has to offer," said Steve McElroy sales director Miller Homes (http://www.millerhomes.co.uk/) Yorkshire. "And even though Yorkshire has claimed two spots in the top 15 picnic spots in the UK we know there are still lots of other special places in the county to enjoy."

Rievaulx Abbey and Top Withens at Haworth - the supposed inspiration for Earnshaw family house in Wuthering Heights - were the two that made the list beaten to the top spot by Barafundle Beach, Pembrokeshire.

"We know that Yorkshire is a great place to call home and with Harrogate being crowned as the 'Happiest Place in Britain to live'  there is little wonder that more and more people are deciding to make Yorkshire their home," said Steve. "Having the right home in the right location can make a real difference to the quality of people's lives and Miller Homes is committed to building quality homes in ideal locations."

Miller Homes has an enviable range of properties that includes contemporary riverside apartments and town houses that are ideal as first homes or, for families there are spacious homes which feature stunning kitchens and bathrooms.  The housebuilder currently has twelve developments in the region ranging from rural executive homes at its Minster View development, Gringley-on-the-Hill to sophisticated townhouses and apartments in Leeds city centre.

Its latest development, Quercus Green in Harrogate, opened its doors on 7th June and offers 2,3 and 4 bedroom homes. Later in the summer a further development in Harrogate will be unveiled. Harlow One is a bespoke development of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes.
