HARROGATE | A walk around Harrogate Town Centre
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- HARROGATE in North Yorkshire is a town just outside the Yorkshire Dales, and is home to the famous Betty's Tea Rooms, Turkish Baths, Winter Gardens and Royal Baths so how could we resist filming a tour of Harrogate Town Centre!?
When we arrived in Harrogate and parked up in the town centre close to Bettys Tea Room we saw straight away that this was going to be an historic town that we would love!
Setting off from close to Harrogate Railway Station we pass through the town centre streets and shops (Harrogate has some really great shopping!) and make our way down to Bettys Tea Rooms before walking down to the old Winter Gardens (now Wetherspoons!), the Turkish Baths, and round to the Royal Baths which we found was now a Chinese Restaurant!
Welcome to Harrogate - a Victorian spa town and rural district that contains the medieval city of Ripon, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and four charming but very different market towns; Boroughbridge, Knaresborough, Masham and Pateley Bridge.
In the heart of Yorkshire, this is your perfect base for a day, a weekend or a week. Indulge your passions and your senses and visit the Harrogate area for a memorable break. With such a varied range of events in Harrogate, you will find there is always something taking place to capture your interest
For a comfortable stay you will find a comprehensive range of accommodation in Harrogate offering something for everyone, from convenient and cosmopolitan townhouses to remote and idyllic country cottages.
Your visit can be as active or as indulgent as you like when you explore things to do in Harrogate. With the Yorkshire Dales on the doorstep there is plenty of scope for adventure activities during your stay, from mountain biking to rock climbing and abseiling, or just a bracing walk across the fells. Whatever your interests, let us inspire you to make more of your visit.
For the more metropolitan, the reputation of our shopping streets for exquisite retail opportunities is well deserved and our spa heritage is evident to this day with spa treatments new and old available.
Yorkshire prides itself on its food and drink, and Harrogate District flies this flag with pride, from our own gin, to the delicious local produce available across our towns. As well as familiar names you will find independent restaurants offering carefully prepared ingredients served to please the eye as well as the appetite.
Harrogate is a town in North Yorkshire, England, east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its heritage as a fashionable spa resort continues in the Montpellier Quarter with the Royal Pump Room Museum, documenting the importance of local mineral springs. Nearby is the restored, Moorish-style Turkish Baths & Health Spa. To the west, leafy Valley Gardens features the art deco Sun Pavilion
Set in the heart of Yorkshire, the Harrogate District is one of the most spectacular areas of England with attractive towns and villages, imposing historic houses, castles, abbeys, beautiful countryside and a host of other natural and man-made attractions. Expect exquisite gardens, beautiful parks, handsome tree-lined boulevards and a chance to lose yourself in the vibrant charm and elegance of this North Yorkshire destination.

I absolutely loved this, brought back so many happy memories. I was brought up in Harrogate and even now, 66 years on since I left, I still regard it as home. Would have loved to see more of the Valley Gardens where we used to go for our Sunday afternoon walks and was surprised you didn't mention The Royal Hall as you passed by. I used to Ice Skate there on Saturday mornings. Such nostalgia. You have made me want to go back again to relive it all and it is now definitely on my wish list for later this year. Thank you.
Harrogate seems like a lovely place, where did you move?
I actually live here in Harrogate and I deeply enjoy a nice walk through valley gardens and I sometimes sit in the recently built Japanese garden which is close to the boating pond. I also occasionally visit the town centre and go shopping 😊
🙏🏾🧡
Beautiful Harrogate. Thank you.
I live in harrogate and work in harrogate for 20 years I never take it for granted beautiful place
I grew up in Harrogate, then moved to Australia in 83, we have not been back for about 10 years and much seems to have changed. A comment on Betty's, I had a client in Perth WA who asked me where I came from and I said Harrogate, his immediate response was ahh the home of Betty's, when I asked him how he knew Betty's his response was if you are the the cafe business and you don't know Betty's then you are not doing your job very well. My first experience at Betty's was when I was 16 and I took my girlfriend there for a coffee, the staff ignored us, they probably thought we could not afford it. Been back heaps of times since and go to the one at Harlow Car next to the RHA Gardens (another place you could walk).
Great tour keep up the good work.
Great memories there Dave!
Betty’s is just so international and I never realised it!
The queues to get in are crazy!
Thank you so much for this. I lived in Harrogate between 1969 and 1971 as a boy. I never really appreciated what a lovely place it was at that age. Great to see that it still has loads of character and real shops. Shame that the indoor market is no longer there. I'd like to go back for a visit.
What an absolutely charming place. Yorkshire has shocked me, to be honest. I haven't been to Leeds for probably over 2 decades, and the improvements they have made are vast!
Harrogate has just topped it all off. As a Londoner, I am completely ashamed to say that in comparison, the centre of Leeds is far better and charming and miles cleaner than London.
I am going within the next few weeks to both places, and if I like it that much, I may just start looking for property up here and look to retire in the North.
Well done on the videos, and keep up the good work. God bless you.
Felt as if I was there walking around that beautiful town great video
Thank you 😊
Lived in Harrogate for many years, and had a shop in the Westminster arcade. Still miss it as now living in Norfolk on the coast. Going to link this to my daughter who now lives in London and it will bring back many lovely memories
Lovely stuff - hope you’re safe and well 👍❤️
Have only been back once in the last 20 year's since I done my phase one training in Harrogate Afc. Was a pleasant walk down memory lane!
Lovely stuff - thanks for watching!
I live in Harrogate (The Gateway To The Yorkshire Dale`s) and love the place, btw you referred to Station Parade as quite a busy street, it was a Bank Holiday, Station Parade is a VERY busy street and is the main (only) Southbound route through the town because our local council loves poorly thoughtout one way streets and pedestian only streets. Voted as best place to live in the UK several times, if only we had a competant council, then We would be voted best even more often. Still it is a lovely place to live, and so much to see on your doorstep.
Thanks for the info Darren! 👍👍👍
Me and hubby go to the Yorkshire dales every year but never been here it looks lovely we’re you live is it far from York ?
@@Michelle-qd9gm Harrogate Town Centre is exactly 20 Miles from York City Centre. 30 Minute drive (A59) in favourable traffic and also 30 minutes by local train service. There is no longer a direct bus service as it cannot compete with the rail service. The town is definately worth a visit, lots of green open spaces, high end shopping (other shops are available), several Tea Rooms, Turkish baths, lots of classical architecture, the world famous Valley Gardens and RHS Harlow Carr Gardens , the list is endless. Hope you get to visit.
@@darren25061965 that’s great thankyou so much
Oh my god... I used to live in Harrogate for 3 years! You brought me some nice memories mate,thanks! I'd love to go and sit down at the valleys garden again
Ah great stuff! Glad you enjoyed it!
I am going back in summer when it’s warm and sunny to do a longer one ❤️
@@GimbalWalkTV please go through kings road near the town council this is where I used to live 🙏
Thankyou for showing us Harrigate .We are planning on going in the not too distant future. .
Enjoy - it’s a lovely place to visit
Another great & fantastic video of HARROGATE | A walk around Harrogate Town Centre!.👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
I grew up in Harrogate, haven't been back since 2000. It's amazing gow much has changed. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.......
i was born in Harrogate and im still here 28 years later beautiful town
This was a great treat for me. I miss being there so very much. However i miss the way harrogate was back in the 70,s not sure about the modern version. My favorite stops were Standings for my wine, cheese and other tasty foods, the various butcher shops, green grocers, and maybe stopping at Betty's for a cuppa. Thanks for a lovely walk around town.
So where the fuk are u currently 😬
I was born in Harrogate. Your video shows how much the town has changed. You should also show The Stray and the Valley Gardens.
Thank you - I’m filming there again soon!
Yes the stray is a wonderful place for all sorts of games and events and I love valley gardens too
I was born in Knaresborough and lived and grew up in Harrogate it is nice to see the place again after 42 years. Thank you
Betty’s Tea Rooms are so much more than ‘a cup of tea’
They are also overrated!
Haha. I’m gonna literally follow the route now. Just need to get to the start. Currently sitting on the bench outside greggs and ramsdens
Amazing! Have fun!
Thanks for the tour. But I think you missed the pump room museum and sulphur tap.
So much has changed even within a year
Am heading back in a few weeks to film a more extensive one so will include those - thank you so much!@@gold6813
Owe yes the Mud floods too 👍
I remembered Mark being proud to tell how his hometown Harrogate fascinating and beautiful it is. Hope to visit this place someday 😍.
You should! 👍👍
Yes it’s a wonderful place for a nice outing with family or friends and there is countless opportunities to have fun. Please come visit Harrogate sometime soon! I’m also living in Harrogate currently as I was also born in Harrogate
@@GimbalWalkTV Yeah I will
Harrogate is a nice town that has something to offer everyone. If I ever get the opportunity to visit, I would love to try Betty's Tea Room. Thank you for this fabulous walk tour and the detailed description.
Thank you Irene!
Never thought about going but now I have seen it I like it and would not mind going to see for myself.
Been to Harrogate many times stayed in the Ascot House hotel wonderful When to Betty tea rooms for Jazz night and 4 course dinner and afternoon tea love love Harrogate
Very beautifull
II LOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEE, so happy I stumbled upon this video! Thank youuuuuu
You're so welcome!
I used to love going to Harrogate. Thanks for bringing back lots of good memories. Spent lots of afternoons sitting near the cenotaph watching the queue for Bettys!
Yep that's a main attraction in Harrogate
Have watched a ton of your videos. This place is one of my favorites. Regards from Canada.
Thanks Zev!
I was born in Harrogate so was my 2 eldest children we now live in Australia and to be honest the only thing I miss from there is my family who live in and around the Harrogate district. My grandma retired in 1982 she worked at Schofield aka hoopers my brother in law worked at Ogdens until the 90s both are no longer alive.
love Harrogate lived there many years.
Great place
Ahh Harrogate!! A little slice of the Home counties, nestling on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales🤔🤔
👍👍👍
thanks for making the short film i am looking forward to the next one
Our pleasure!
Lovely town...attractive and appealing...and Betty's Tea Rooms...need I say more ?
So true!
nice video, not been to Harrogate in years
Thanks for these tours! I've been to Knitting & Stitching Shows in Harrogate in the past
Thank you so much 😊
Ah yes, my home town. This makes it look really nice (which it is).
It is!!
It ain’t 🤣
@@rhyskitchen1138 😮
All is not as nice as it seems in Harrogate.
@@mischief8006
Well, yes, not everything is perfect, but it is nicer then a lot of other North Yorkshire places in my opinion.
I was studying English in Harrogate Language Academy in 2004 . It was great time and I love my stay in Harrogate with lovely families.
❤️❤️❤️
Used to live there loved it ! Do visit regularly.
Lovely place
You missed Agatha Christie’s hotel, very pleasant look around Harrogate.
Great place go every year love to see valley gardens
Thank you so much!!
I didn't make it into Bettys (spelled without the ' , I've been informed, but I did sit on a bench outside, intrigued at the number of people willing to stand in a very long line outside waiting patiently to get in.
I was staying in Knaresborough, and a short local stopping bus got me to Harrogate, four miles away. The train station and bus station are next to each other in Harrogate, making it easy to get to some of the surrounding towns and cities.
The queues for the tea rooms are crackers🤣
The prices in Bettys are astronomical.
Nice town......
Excellent - Thank you
👍👍👍
I like when you reference a train station since that’s how I mainly get around England
Will try and do it more often
Was thinking about going inti Harrogate as not been for while, but don’t need to bother now! Nice to see there are still the fools queuing for Bettys!🤣Enjoyed tour! Thanks! 🙏
Thank you!
Lives there for 4 years, adored it
I bet! Great place!
Loved John Street ,arcade was a bit too modernized for my liking .Harrogate is very beautiful. Thanks for filming it.
You’re welcome!!
Great video thanks but so much more to see Cambridge St, Valley Gardens, Montpellier district ,
Nice place
Enjoyed!
The queue at Betty's is always too long for me but I get a few goodies from the shop to take home.xx
Yeh that queue - it's always so long!
My grandads from Harrogate, organises the Christmas market in Yorkshire can’t remember the name 😂 recently moved to England myself shoot a video up in Leamington, Warwickshire💪🏻
Love the place and would like to move there permanently some time
My lovely hometown :)
Lovely place to live!
My mum is going to stay in nidd hall with her pensioner friends greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I live in Harrogate born and bread.My father was the same thought there was no where like it.Shame the Valley Gardens wasn’t filmed
I would love to see a walk through of Lewes
Such a lovely walk! Looking forward to visiting Harrogate again! I have great memories from this place! 😃
I’d love to see a walk through Valley Gardens too 😊 it’s beautiful!
Yes at ilkley though
Lived in Harrogate 2006-2010 not much has changed. Nice town with the only real negative being the insane amount of traffic passing through.
Yes very busy with traffic!
You must of drove to Skipton straight after this because you was in Skipton at 2pm filming.
I did! Was a top day!
Delightful video. I was brought up in Harrogate. Left the town 30 years ago, to moved down south. It's exactly how I remember the place. Been meaning, to come back, and visit, for a long time. Will make it a priority this year... What ever happened to the indoor market, and Lowther arcade? Did it ever get reopen?
I remember the indoor market and Lowther arcade from my college days. No, nothing like that in Harrogate these days.
They went a long long time ago sadly
Thanks Ladies. What a shame that they are no longer there. ☹️
You missed great areas like the pump rooms where there is still the eggy spa water to try and opposite the oldest still gaslit pub there's so much more to Harrogate
I know - I’m going back in Summer to film a more in-depth one!
Don't you think that if your going to say town centre you should of gone in the town centre it self, they are hand full of shops in the main centre so please come & visit the shops there too
Whereabouts do you mean?
Let me know street names and I will do that for you 👍👍
Sneaky hehehehe 😉🤪😜🤣😂😆😁
Lovely place by the looks of it but after your great video I don’t need to actually go thank you and keep on walking 🚶🏻♂️👍
Thank you!
Mum and I used to go in to Betty's twice a day in 77
Lovely stuff! Wonderful place!
Hi love your town walks, if you could please look up Tartarian Architecture these beautiful stone buildings were not built when they ruling class say, and have a look at the stolen History, it will amaze you, Love, joy, peace, health, wealth and freedom to mankind ❤️👌
I wish I was at Betty's now!
❤️❤️
I live here, why am I watching this…
🤣🤣 that’s actually how my channel started! I saw videos of my home city and watched them without knowing why 🤣🤣
Lol, same
I live in Pateley bridge not to far
Ahh yes I know Pateley Bridge well - have filmed there too!
Had my wedding reception there 51 years ago
Oh wow! Lovely place!!
Please film Saltash. I haven't been home for almost 3 years! :)
Hello ... visiting in the summer. Would appreciate ideal places that are accessible as husband uses a scooter. Enjoyed your walk, a lot of places have accessible entrance so that's good. Can you suggest best places to park?
Hi Linda!
Probably Station Parade near the Train Station
That would put you at the top of the hill on the flat bit
There are easy accessible multi storey car parks one attached to Victoria gardens a nice walk through under cover through the shopping centre plenty of lifts and also behind debenhams there's a carpark too town centre is a bit limited for parking some only have 20 minutes but there are many long stays hope this helps
@@charlottesmith7425 thank you. Advice much appreciated.
maam jane dito po na kayo kukuha ng itatanong niyo mamaya maam jane or doon po sa live niyo noong isang gabi sa park t y.
👍🏻
reminds me of heygo tours i used to watch sadly it went under mismanagement feels like you are really their. where i got married. never been Bettys go in Wetherspoons most of the time we go visit family not been since covid.
Is there a walk around Ilkley?
Another great video never been there can anybody recommend some where to stay for a couple of nights
Ceder court .
Not the Hilton it's crap
@@peterjones2898 thanks for that
I think that Harrogate is fantastic but its very expensive to live there , the council is very greedy and so are the rip off landlords. The last time I was there, in that park with the statues in a glass case, the shelter to the left was home to a lot of down and out drunkards who were making life a misery for locals. They'd been brought in by a local council official and the whole town was angry about what she had done. I recommend The Welford guest house in Franklin Road if you are staying for a while. Its absolutely excellent.
Why not show the Stray and the Valley Gardens even the historic Pump house? Maybe for your next tribute to Yorkshires Diamond Harrogate 💎
Thank you for the suggestions will defintiely incorporate into the next one!
I’m fairly new to Harrogate so still finding my way around
i recall seeing plethora of women naked in a cafe,,sort of strange
I just found you haven’t been to Harrogate in almost 45 years
R i p Rudi
❤️
15:06 Didn’t like being on camera 😂
🤣
Harrogate and the people who live there think they are much better than they really are I'm afraid.As spar towns go bang average.Be careful of the many drug addicts too not included on this video.
Oh no!
A bit posh looking for me
It's not too bad really!
@@GimbalWalkTV I will have to sleep in a dustbin lol still looks up market lol.
Over priced and fast going down hill
😮😮😮
Very short walk, hardly a full town walk
It’s ok - nobody died 👍
