Many
visitors are attracted by the atmosphere of England’s Floral
Town, with a rich spa heritage evident from the dignified
architecture, and a cosmopolitan flavour emanating from a
renowned range of first class hotels and cosy guest houses,
a stylish shopping centre, theatre, cafés and a variety of
places of leisure and entertainment.
Broad tree-lined streets and beautiful parks and gardens combine
with the sweeping 200 acres of town-centre grassland known as
‘The Stray’ to bring a spacious feeling to the town. Although
never far from the principal venues and accommodation, visitors
can enjoy peace and serenity close to the town centre. No wonder
so many people return to Harrogate for another visit. 
Links with Harrogate’s intriguing past as a spa town of international
repute are carefully maintained, a splendid example being the
superb Turkish Baths. Open to the public seven days a week,
they are found in the imposing Royal Baths Assembly Rooms. A
short stroll away, the recently restored 150 year old Royal
Pump Room Museum contains the Old Sulphur Well whose spa water
is still available for sampling.
Just
across the road from the Royal Pump Room Museum are the famous
Valley Gardens, with a worldwide reputation for their formal
and informal acres of displays and attractions. On the outskirts are the splendid RHS Harlow Carr gardens.
