Harrogate is an attractive Regency / Victorian spa town in North Yorkshire , with fine public gardens, and on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales . Its spa hotels have morphed into conference and "wellness" centres, and it's well stocked with good eating places, including the famous Betty's Tea Rooms. In 2024 the population was 164,100.

Understand [ edit ]

In Old Norse hǫrgr gata indicates a street to a heap of stones. It was a cluster of separate villages until its spa waters became fashionable in the 17th century, and accommodation and amusements were built for its visitors. (Those amusements were essential, as the waters are cold and pungent.) Harrogate's heyday was 19th century Regency / Victorian, so it was already past its best when Agatha Christie fled here in 1926. Meanwhile it was becoming industrial, and a commuter town for nearby Leeds. However the local council realised the value of protecting Harrogate's old centre, so this retains its period charm with relatively few modern intrusions.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

53.866 -1.661 1 Leeds-Bradford International Airport ( LBA  IATA ). This is actually more accessible from Harrogate than it is from Leeds or Bradford, as it lies north of those cities and you dodge most of the traffic on the approach; so flying to London (by BA to Heathrow LHR5) can beat the train. LBA has good connections from western Europe, e.g. Dublin , Amsterdam , Düsseldorf , Paris and Brussels , as well as domestic flights from Southampton , Exeter and Belfast . The budget carrier Jet2 is based here. Bus 737 connects LBA to Harrogate town centre. ( updated Apr 2024 )

From beyond western Europe, use Manchester Airport ( MAN  IATA ). It has global connections, competitive fares, and an hourly train from Leeds.

Flying into any of the London airports involves a one-hour journey into London Kings Cross, then a 3-hour train ride north.

By train [ edit ]

53.9933 -1.5374 2 Harrogate station stands on a loop of line from Leeds (35 minutes) to York (40 minutes via Knaresborough ). Direct trains from London Kings Cross run every two hours, taking 3 hours via Stevenage , Grantham , Doncaster , Wakefield and Leeds.

From other destinations change at Leeds or York for the loop train, which runs every 30 min. At Leeds this is shown as going to Poppleton, a small halt just outside York, to avoid travellers for York going the long way round. Similarly at York, it's shown as going to Burley Park in the Headingley / University quarter of Leeds.

Harrogate station is central in town and has a staffed ticket office and machines. There are toilets, a waiting room, a cafe and ATMs. There is step-free access to all platforms. Plusbus tickets are available for this station.

By road [ edit ]

From the north, follow the A1 then A59 west then bypass Knaresborough via A658 and A661. From the south, the signed route is the same, but consider leaving A1 sooner at Junction 45 into Wetherby and going via A661. From the south end of Leeds use the new A63 to join M1 which merges into A1 then heads towards Wetherby; but from northern or central Leeds just go straight up the A61.

By bus [ edit ]

Long-distance bus lines no longer run to Harrogate, change at Leeds.

From Leeds take Harrogate Bus 36 (the plum-red one), which runs every 15 minutes, taking 70 min via the A61 past Harewood House. Alternate buses continue to Ripon. Bus 7 from Leeds takes twice as long, via Bramham, Boston Spa, Wetherby and Spofforth.

From Bradford Bus A2 runs hourly via the airport, taking 75 min.

From Knaresborough Bus 1 runs every 30 min, taking 30 min via Starbeck.

From Pateley Bridge Bus 24 runs every two hours, taking 55 min.

No direct bus runs from York, change at Leeds. Bus 23 / 24 from York to Knaresborough rambles through more Yorkshire villages than you'd think possible.

Harrogate bus station is 100 yards north of the railway station. It's just a long draughty bus shelter with no facilities.

Get around [ edit ]

Walking is best for town centre, and cycling will quickly get you to outlying attractions. Avoid driving in town, as it can be very congested.

Harrogate Buses circulate around town. Bus 1 plies the main road to Knaresborough.

The trains from Leeds also stop at Pannal and Hornbeam Park in the south of town, and at Starbeck on their way to Knaresborough.

The most reliable taxi operator is Mainline (+44 44 1423 555555).

Daytime it's a genteel area to stroll, and the obvious walking route to Harlow Carr Gardens. Open 24 hours but after dark it's poorly lit and can attract sleazy denizens.

A free bus shuttles between the bus station and showground. This is in addition to regular buses 770 and 771 from Leeds and Wetherby towards Harrogate, which stop outside the showground. Motorists must follow signs and ignore Satnav, as access roads have temporary one-way systems.

Sleep [ edit ]

As a spa town, many Harrogate hotels date back 200 years, and you can aim to stay somewhere with real character. There are many modern chains within a mile or two, while B&Bs are in the leafy suburbs further out.

Harrogate does a lot of corporate and event accommodation and can become booked out, especially for the Great Yorkshire Show in July. Big events in York can have the same effect. If you can't get in, consider staying in central Leeds and day-tripping by train.

Connect [ edit ]

Stay safe [ edit ]

Harrogate is mostly a very safe town. Even at night, drunken anti-social behaviour isn't common. Stay away from Valley Gardens at night, where the low lighting occasionally attracts dubious characters.

This travel guide shares the best things to do in Harrogate town and the local area, with everything you need to know about where to eat and stay, and how to find a few favourite hidden gems.

BEST PLACE TO STAY IN HARROGATE

No time to read the full article? The stand-out best choice is the wonderful West Park Hotel.

18 Best Things To Do In Harrogate

Put your comfy walking shoes on and get set to explore. You might be surprised how many attractions you can see in Harrogate in a day!

Let’s get stuck into the most popular things to see in Harrogate and the best activities.

1. Enjoy Afternoon Tea at Bettys Café Tea Rooms

First opened in 1919, Bettys Tea Room is a Yorkshire institution. Many visitors agree that indulging in Betty’s afternoon tea is one of the best things to do in Harrogate.

Think starched white linens, immaculately dressed waiting staff and the most scrumptious cakes. Add in silver service tea or coffee from a vast choice of blends or a cheeky glass of fizz, then sit back to relax.

Top Tip: Ask for a window seat overlooking Montpellier Street, as it’s the best location for people-watching.

There’s ALWAYS a queue, but it’s worth it for the food and the experience.

Top Tip: On a tight budget? Forget about eating in the tea room! Pick up a fat rascal (like a huge fruit-filled scone) from Betty’s shop (next to the team rooms) and a cuppa from Caffe Nero to enjoy in Montpellier Gardens (opposite Bettys).

2. Relax at Harrogate Turkish Baths (the best spa in Harrogate)

Visiting the iconic Victorian Turkish Baths is one of the best things to do in Harrogate for history and architecture lovers.

This is so much more than a luxury spa in Harrogate – the Turkish Baths are the only complete, fully working Victorian Baths in Britain .

Set aside at least two hours if you plan to try out the baths (recommended) or visit early for the inexpensive 45-minute guided tour!

Prepare to be wowed by the fabulous Moorish architecture from Harrogate’s heyday as one of “the” spa towns of Europe!

3. Visit the Royal Pump Room Museum & taste the spa waters (if you’re brave)

The Royal Pump Room was where people came to drink from Europe’s strongest sulphur spring, known as the Old Sulphur Well . It was also a place to meet and to be seen, as it offered protection from Harrogate’s changeable weather!

You can discover  Harrogate’s connection to Russian royalty , see displays of old-fashioned shops, and explore life in a bygone era.

During your visit you’ll learn about Harrogate’s natural spring waters and why the Harrogate spas became so popular. If you’re brave, you can even taste the spa waters!

4. Amble Through the RHS Garden Harlow Carr

The 19th-century Royal Horticultural Society Harlow Carr Garden is a 68-acre oasis of delight for garden lovers.

6. Discover the Stray (the “Two Hundred Acres”)

The Stray is a 200-acre park moments from the bustle of Harrogate town centre. It’s been the place for the people of Harrogate to relax since it was created in 1778 from the forest of Knaresborough.

Over the years, the Stray has been used for grazing livestock, turned into allotments and wheat fields during WWII, and it’s even been used as an airfield for light aircraft. Protected by an Act of Parliament , today it’s open grassland, crisscrossed by tree-lined paths.

In early Spring, you’ll be treated to a carpet of purple as millions of crocus peep through the frozen ground. Weeks later, these fade and give way to nodding golden daffodils before the long lines of cherry trees burst into life to show off their iconic pink blossom in May.

This is a good basic information office. it holds the maps and leaflets for attractions in the area as usual together with a variety of souvenirs. The special thing about this office was that the member of staff who dealt with me was friendly, consise and clear in her information and seemed to hold a great deal of it in her head. her recommendations and suggestions were accurate. The only problem is that it is not very easy to find.
