There are wealth of Harrogate attractions that one is able to enjoy whilst visiting this very beautiful city. Certainly, you are not spoilt for spaces where you are able to actually relax and spend a lazy summer’s afternoon. Along with the many parks and gardens dotted around the town there is also “The Stray” a 200 acre are of grassland located in the heart of it.
You can admire the city’s architecture whilst you are shopping in Harrogate and then a visit to Betty’s tearooms is a pleasant relief. From this building, you can have some great food and also take in the sight of the nearby Montpelier Gardens.
Harrogate is also home to the world famous Royal Baths, which attract many of the town’s locals and tourists alike. They are open all week, the baths are no longer in use. You can still taste the Harrogate Spa waters from the Old Sulphur Well then you should also stop in at the Royal Pump Room.
Along with offering you the chance to sample some of the spa water this building now houses a museum also. Here you can view displays of what life was like for people living in the town during the 19th Century and also shows the multitude of different treatments that were used in this spa town.
For those who would like to venture further away from the town then a visit to Plumpton Rocks should be high on their agendas. These are 30 acres of parkland, found between Harrogate and Wetherby. You can enjoy the various lake side walks or explore the wildlife in the local woods.
However, to help with the upkeep of the area, they do charge a small admission fee. You also need to check that the park is open during your intended visit as the opening hours vary by season.
Children visiting Harrogate often enjoy a trip to Brimham Rocks. This can be found in Summerbridge, just a short drive from Harrogate. The rocks show the dramatic effect that the ice age and other periods have made on the rocks themselves. As you wander round you can view the weirdly shaped boulders, come with names like Dancing Bear or Turtle and Druids Desk.
