Harrogate

English spa town

Harrogate is a spa town in North Yorkshire, England, known for its mineral springs and Victorian architecture.

It became fashionable in the Georgian and Victorian eras as a destination for taking the waters.

Today it hosts conferences, the Great Yorkshire Show, and antique fairs.

We spent a weekend in Harrogate visiting the Turkish baths.
