Harrogate was never on my radar. Again, i was only interested in the nearby sights, namely Rievaulx Abbey. Jane had chosen Harrogate as a base and it turned out to be a good call. I didn't know what to expect and was surpried to find a old Victorian spa town. Little did i know that Harrogate even hosted the 1982 Eurovision song contest! Oh what fame!
The town centre and gardens were pleasant. Jack enjoyed his run and we enjoyed some nice tea and scones. How delightfully English! The town has some interesting architecture, namely the baths and the Royal Hall.

We even managed to stay at the Holiday Inn which was a nice change of pace from cramped B&B rooms.
