RHS GARDEN HARLOW CARR REVIEWS

We had a lovely time at these gardens. Staff were unfailingly polite and we were given a warm welcome on arrival, along with a well designed map and recommended suggestions, which included a temporary Japanese shop. The standard of gardening as you'd expect was tremendous as the photographs show. We enjoyed a pleasant picnic in the grounds and spent a good 4 hours navigating the grounds of which there are approximately 56 acres. Another pleasant surprise was how tame the birds are here. A robin came right up to me on 2 occasions!

A beautiful afternoon spent wandering around this beautifully kept garden! So much to see and plenty of seats to stop and gaze!! The flowers are blooming so magnificently!! We have just joined as members, so can’t wait to come back and explore the garden through each changing season!!

Lovely gardens enjoyed a lovely few hours strolling through them. Discounted entry if you walk there which we did, two miles from the other side of Harrogate. Lovely walk to get there through Valley Gardens and Pineside Woods.

ROYAL PUMP ROOM MUSEUM REVIEWS

The museum does a great job giving some the history of Harrogate and is informative of spa culture and life. All the employees were absolutely amazing, and probably some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’d love to come back again.

A lovely look around the history of Harrogate Spa. Small museum & reflected in the entry fee. Very inspiring. Looking back at where Spa & wellness started. Buy a bar of Sulphur soap for beautiful skin.

Interesting piece of Harrogate's victorian heritage. Well worth a visit. Make sure to give the sulphur waters a taste through the tap outside the building.

THE GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW REVIEWS

A fantastically well-organized show. Lots to see and do. Beautiful experience. Food was truly a feast for the eyes. Absolutely fantastic day! Excellent setup, easy to get around and a lot of selection of shows. It's great to see such a different breed of animals. I had a terrific time and I'm pleased there are limited tickets since it means it's not completely filled. Plenty of maps. You must get tickets in advance and do it early because they always sell out. Massive venue. Lots of parking. Lots of toilets. I strongly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. Fortunately it stayed dry but there are plenty of indoor places if needed. Lots to see and do. Well worth the money. Well organised and very friendly and helpful people. I would highly recommend. Definitely going next year!

Great show, a bit windy but experienced campers take all weather, huge number of military vehicles, reinactors, displays and trade stalls.
