Harrogate is a pretty spa town and popular tourist spot in North Yorkshire, and it sits in the middle of its own larger borough which includes the surrounding towns of Ripon, Knaresbrough, Boroughbridge and Masham. It also includes some of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which we have treated as a separate area. There are a range of town, country, woodland and waterside walks in Harrogate Borough, as well as lovely parkland around Fountains Abbey.
