What to See
A wealth of excellent attractions ensures you will never be short of stunning sights and unforgettable days out when you visit Harrogate and the Yorkshire Dales.
Set in the UK's most popular Spa Town, visit our
Turkish Baths and Spa to unwind your mind and invigorate your body.
Of course, there's the world heritage site at
Fountains Abbey, the largest monastic ruins in the country, set in one of England's most spectacular Georgian water gardens and medieval deer park.
We have a rich and proud history that we still love to celebrate. There are signs of ancient civilisation in the mysterious
Devil's Arrows (opens in new window).
If you are a lover of gardens and grand stately homes, then Harrogate has plenty to offer, do have
a search or
a browse through.
And last but by no means least, extend your visit into the Yorkshire Dales countryside, home to some of our greatest landscapes. Not just pretty landscapes to look at; these are landscapes perfect for outdoor
activities, with everything from
