There are currently 2 locations in this directory beginning with the letter J.
John o’ Groats, Caithness
John o’ Groats is located only a mile and a half (2.5 km) away from Duncansby Head, the most north-easterly tip of mainland Britain. It often forms either the starting line or the destination point for challenges or charity events that involve travelling from John o’ Groats to Lands End in Cornwall, the longest possible trip in Great Britain without having to cross any of its surrounding seas. The village itself has two parts – a row of bungalows that straddles the A99 road, and a tourist area that overlooks the sea. The latter includes the famous signpost, with directions to a variety of international destinations, and a visitor centre. Although much of the land surrounding the village is rather flat, it is worth walking along the coast to Duncansby Head, with its lighthouse perched above an incredibly scenic section of rugged coastline.
Johnshaven, Aberdeenshire
The coastal village of Johnshaven is filled with terraced stone-built cottages that line a web of narrow streets. With a rich maritime history, Johnshaven has kept its shellfish industry going – fishing boats are often seen docking in the harbour. During the first two weeks of August, an annual fish festival is held in the village, which attracts thousands of visitors, some of whom travel from other parts of the world.
