Why Should I Travel To Harrogate?
The town is known for its genteel air, its beautiful public gardens and its healing springs. If you get bored of town life, all you need do is to step into your Harrogate hire car and head for the Yorkshire Dales where you can get away from it all in some of England’s most beautiful countryside. Enjoy a cream tea in Harrogate in one of the many old hotels or at Betty’s Tearooms and you’ll be transported back to a bygone age.
How Easy is it to get to Harrogate?
