Mini guide to Harrogate

Harrogate, in beautiful North Yorkshire, is fast becoming one of the favourite inland resorts in the UK, combining the Victorian splendour of a spa town with renowned floral beauty. In recent years, the city has become well known for its extensive conference and exhibition facilities and the influx of visitors throughout the year contributes to Harrogate's modern, cosmopolitan character.

Known as 'England's Floral District', this area is full of beautiful parks, floral displays and gardens, both public and those belonging to historic houses, castles and abbeys. This strong floral reputation has been maintained, with towns and villages throughout the District gaining accolades in national and international competitions. Montpellier Gardens, a delightful floral area in the centre of town running the length of Montpellier Parade, is not to be missed and is also one of the exclusive shopping streets in Harrogate. The cosmopolitan feel of Harrogate permeates through the fashionable boutiques, arts and crafts shops and exclusive design houses complementing the usual High street names. Known as the 'antiques centre of the North', Harrogate has a treasure trove of antique shops and markets to be discovered.

Look out for other performances and concerts by international stars, which are regularly staged within the Royal Hall and Harrogate International Centre. There is also a long tradition of colourful street entertainment, culminating each summer with the onset of the Harrogate International Festival. The festival's opening night parade and Fiesta in the Valley Gardens are a grand spectacle attended by thousands of visitors each year.
