Harrogate has a range of attractions that is suited to the delight of the young and the old equally. It is a beautiful city that is surrounded by springs that have natural healing properties, thus making it a natural spa attraction in the world. Being a tourist attraction is not easy as the town has to keep in mind the taste and style of tourists from every corner of the world. So there are a lot of hotels that have mushroomed all over the city and cater to the needs of all kinds of visitors, rich or mediocre. There are also a lot of restaurants that offer authentic cuisines from around the globe. You might find an Indian restaurant offering sizzling Punjabi dishes and the next street may have an oriental cuisine that includes Chinese food.

Apart from the food, the next thing to consider paying a visit is the monuments and castles that dot the city over many places. A visit to the Ripley Castle may be one of your most memorable trips in the city as well as the Brimham Rocks, both of which are heritage sites in Harrogate. If you are looking for springs, then the Valley Gardens may give you a pleasant site where a lot of springs still exist. As the city is known for its springs, the first spring that was found in the city has been ornately kept in a dome. 

It is not only that the city is famous for its medieval castles and mineral rich springs. Small as it might be but the city is a good amalgamation of modern as well traditional styles. Hence, for the people who prefer thrills and adrenaline over picturesque surroundings, they might also love to be in this part of the city that has Europe’s longest roller coaster. Ripon has a place called Lightwater Valley that has these kinds of attractions. It also has the largest swing boat in the whole of Europe.

If you are planning a visit to this scenic city, do consider travelling to Yorkshire where Knaresborough stands. This German-sounding place is actually the oldest market in this part of the county and is thronged by many visitors looking for souvenirs and cheap artifacts. And of course, if you are considering a spa treatment, look no further because you are at just the right place.


There are hundreds of spa facilities that would offer you a treatment different from the others. Treatments include everything from facials to pedicure and service is impeccable. A lot of hotels also share spa and have one of their own in the premises itself. As we speak of hotels, you need not worry about the hotels that you want. Every kind of accommodation options are available in the city, considering the diverse range of visitors that drop in at the city. 

There are apartments that you may go for that have the most up-to-date luxurious facilities with all the basic services you might be looking for such as laundry and breakfast. Hotels are also available here that are also fully furnished and boast of all the modern facilities one may expect. Of course, a lot of these hotels do have their own spa but it is always helps to check if the hotel you are thinking of staying provides spa services or not. There are also ‘B n B’ facilities that may well suit your needs if you plan to spend less on stay and more on having fun outdoors. 

With great accommodation such as hotels in Harrogate and York, there is nothing else for you to worry about. Enjoy your stay, which we think you will surely love and bring back the spoilt or the relaxed form of you.
