Town Pubs

Harrogate in beautiful North Yorkshire is renowned for its floral beauty and elegant spa buildings, which include The Royal Pump Room Museum, Mercer Gallery and Royal Baths. It is also a conference and exhibition destination of international repute and the number of visitors as a result of this contributes to a modern, cosmopolitan feel.

Harrogate's premier spa building, the Royal Pump Room, is built over the site of the strongest sulphur spring in England and the water can still be sampled today.

Beautifully landscaped gardens and graceful architecture will forever be hallmarks of Harrogate. But there have been some new developments recently, including imaginative makeovers for several main streets.

The cosmopolitan feel of Harrogate is added to by the fashionable boutiques, arts and crafts shops and exclusive design houses, which complement the high street names.

There is a long tradition of colourful street entertainment in Harrogate, culminating each summer with the onset of the Harrogate International Festival.
