The Cosmopolitan
yet serene atmosphere of the town owes much to Harrogate's eminent past,
as one of Europe's most famous spas.
Quality shopping facilities combine with excellent restaurants and tearooms, a
fascinating theatre, welcoming pubs and wine bars and award-winning parks and
gardens to offer that special ambience.
The stray, 200 acres of well tended grasslands, encircles the town centre
while a short stroll away are the famous Valley Gardens, a true haven
of natural beauty linked via the sweet-smelling pine woods with the 68
acre Harlow Carr Botanical Gardens.
Radiating from the town-centre are majestic buildings which provide evidence of
Harrogate's illustrious past - the Royal Baths Assembly Rooms, its idyllic
Turkish Baths still remain, and the Royal Pump Room Museum, housing the
original sulphur well and a host of other treasures. |
