With its parks and gardens in full bloom, its cosmopolitan pavement cafes and bars, and its warm Yorkshire welcome, Harrogate in summer is a very special place.

Spend leisurely days and long balmy evenings in this beautiful spa town, and explore some of its fascinating history.

Venture further afield - with its array of beauty spots, and the Dales on your doorstep, Harrogate is perfectly placed for savouring a scenic picnic. Treat yourself to a gourmet feast from Weetons, and dine al fresco amidst breath-taking views at Brimham Rocks, or enjoy the waterside tranquillity of local reservoirs.
