York Road

Harrogate, United Kingdom

 

Intro

Harrogate has a bounty of boutiques, museums, sights and gardens to explore and with its rich spa history, you're guaranteed some kind of watery encounter during your stay.

Best picnic spot

Visit the Brimham Rocks at Nidderdale (www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-brimhamrocks). There's 400-acres of unspoiled countryside to admire, stunning views and rock climbing for the adventurous.

Best beaches

Do the one-hour drive to Scarborough and admire the town's two beach bays, Victorian seaside architecture and bounty of bars and eateries.

Best walks

Go for a romantic promenade through the Valley Gardens (+44 (0)1423 500600) and admire the historic buildings, mineral springs and vivid blooms. Alternatively, you have the moors and dales on your doorstep, so set out and explore the dramatic crags and peaks of Brontë country.

Shopping

If you like your apartment's interiors, visit Cimmerman at 10 Regent Parade (+44 (0)1423 524777). The bold floral-print wallpapers and glamorous sofas will add a bit of Harrogate hip to your home. Items range from vintage finds to modern pieces and as guests at York Road, Duchy House or the Lawrence, you'll get a discount when you present your room key.

Activities

Art-lovers should build a trip to the Mercer Art Gallery at 31 Swan Road (+44 (0)1423 556188) into their itinerary. Home to some 2,000 works, it's regarded as one of the most active and important dealers worldwide in Modern Master and Contemporary prints. Of course, you can't visit a spa town without going to the spa, so head to the Royal Pump Room Museum at 1 Crown Place (+44 (0)1423 556188) and follow up with a steamy session at the Turkish Baths, at the Royal Baths on Parliament Street (+44 (0)1423 556746).

Smith Tip

The sulphurous spa water, which you can sample at the Royal Pump Room Museum, is only for the strong of heart and stomach.
