Harrogate has long been the more upmarket of Yorkshire’s larger towns and cities.
The neighbouring town of Knaresborough is only 5km (3 miles) from the centre of Harrogate and is a quainter alternative with its own charm and unique attractions.
Harrogate has excellent transport connections with nearby towns and cities including Leeds, Ripon and York.
Harrogate railway station is on the railway line that connects Leeds and York with up to four trains per hour, although the bus provides a cheaper and more frequent service between Harrogate and Leeds.
