Harrogate

Day 1: We arrive at our charming, conveniently located, hotel in time for dinner.

Day 2: Today is at leisure to explore the delightful charms of Harrogate, full of traditional heritage and fascinating museums and galleries. The Royal Pump Room Museum offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the region with the building’s historical significance and architectural beauty making it a notable landmark in Harrogate. The Mercer Art Gallery with its ever-changing exhibitions was built 200 years ago as the Promenade rooms, a place for spa visitors to socialise. If you prefer nature’s beauty, the Valley Gardens is an English Heritage Grade II listed park-land, themed gardens and historic buildings in regal Low Harrogate.

Day 3: With time to switch off from it all again today, it’s the perfect opportunity for a little indulgence. Once a popular destination for European high society, today, Harrogate shopping is just as stylish and is well known for its eclectic, elegant and diverse range of shops. With much loved leading high street names and quality brands sitting alongside stylish independents, you will be spoilt for choice. In its heyday, Harrogate was famed as ‘The English Spa’ and its Turkish Baths offer a unique experience of relaxation and rejuvenation in the genuine Victorian Baths. The ornate Moorish bathhouse with glazed brickwork and painted ceilings has perfected the art of relaxation since 1897 and is the ideal space to switch off from it all and unwind.

Day 4: After breakfast we begin our return journey home.
