Harrogate, Victorian spa town in North Yorkshire, England.

Harrogate extends across rolling hills with extensive gardens, Victorian architecture, and 200 acres of grassland known as The Stray at its center.

The discovery of iron-rich and sulfur springs in 1571 transformed Harrogate from two small settlements into a prominent health resort by the Georgian period.

The Mercer Art Gallery presents rotating exhibitions of fine art while the Royal Pump Room Museum displays artifacts from the town's spa heritage.

The town connects to Leeds and York through direct rail services, with Leeds Bradford Airport located 20 kilometers from the center.

The Valley Gardens contain 36 different mineral springs, each with distinct mineral compositions, making it the location with the most mineral springs in Europe.
