Harrogate is a pleasant spa town to the south-east of the Yorkshire Dales, famous for its tea shops, flower shows, turkish baths, antique shops, and the Harrogate International Conference Centre. The town is also famous for its associations with the great English crime novelist Agatha Christie, who "disappeared" here for a few days in the 1930s (!)
Nearby attractions include Harewood House, Almscliffe Crag, Ripley Castle, and Knaresborough, as well as Nidderdale, the Washburn Valley and of course, the Yorkshire Dales national park itself.
