If you enjoy discovering the stories of our history and exploring the remnants of bygone ages, then let your curiosity loose around Harrogate and beyond.

Across our beautiful part of Yorkshire you will find the tell-tale clues to the stories of the English civil war, the abolition of the monasteries and the brutal murder of a ‘turbulent priest’.

Learn how anyone could enjoy the protection of the city of Ripon for many centuries, and how the ceremonial watch is still set every night.

Castle Gatehouse Visitors053 Small

Stare out across the historic Forest of Knaresborough from the castle grounds atop the Knaresborough cliffs, or explore a Royalist stronghold from the English civil war.

By day you can explore remarkable ruins in glorious locations, well-preserved monuments and fortified castles or the elegant stately homes of the landed gentry.

By night you can sleep in grand old hotels which have welcomed illustrious guests over many centuries from Lord Byron to the Beatles, from the Empress of Russia to Agatha Christie.

Book into a luxurious hotel of yesteryear and enjoy the hospitality once offered to European high society as you enjoy afternoon tea in ornate surroundings and imagine the stylish guests of another era.
