Set amidst the beautiful North Yorkshire Dales and close to the historic city of York, the spa town of Harrogate is teeming with open green spaces and bursts of seasonal colour. So, whilst staying at our beautiful hotel, make sure you find a little time to explore the best of what nature has to offer, right here on our doorstep.

Take The Stray, for example, over 200 acres of public parkland, perfect for walk (of the two-legged and four-legged variety!). Whilst surrounded by the hustle and bustle of this stunning town, it offers peace and tranquillity, ideal picnic space and a natural escape to rebalance and unwind.

At the heart of the town, you will find Valley Gardens, open all year round, 24 hours a day, and with a number of different areas and garden styles. For music lovers, the Gardens play host to live bands with concerts taking place Sunday afternoons throughout the summer. There is a wide variety of outdoor games such as tennis courts, pitch & putt golf course, crazy golf, boating pool, paddling pool and a children’s play area. This is a perfect family day out.

Very much part of the Yorkshire countryside, RHS Harlow Carr is just a short distance away and is a delight in every season. It’s a fantastic day out for all the family.
