7 Things to do for Honeymoon in Harrogate That You Shouldn't Miss

February 5, 2022 Deane Carmody

Harrogate is also known as "The English Spa." For centuries, visitors have flocked to the mineral hot springs. Today, those springs still soothe the body while the placid RHS Harlow Carr Gardens and Yorkshire Dales national park stimulate the soul. Tea rooms, architecture, and art galleries are the main pastimes in this pleasant town.  With four rail stations for easy transport, travelers can board trains running between Harrogate and York, Leeds, Knaresborough, and London.

Nidderdale Llamas

A unique interactive fun activity, based on a family working farm in Nidderdale. Offering Llama Trekking & Llama/alpaca experiences in beautiful countryside. Fantastic fun with amazing friendly animals, a range of options to choose from all including close contact with llamas, alpacas and some other animals.

Reviewed By iTravellers - Manchester, United Kingdom

This was a surprise Birthday treat and it didn't disappoint! We spent a lovely afternoon getting to know all about Llamas and Alpacas. We were able to interact with the animals in a safe environment before heading out for a walk with them. The Llamas were very calm and terrific walking companions. Even though the Yorkshire weather was atrocious it didn't dampen the spirits of the group. The staff were brilliant and very knowledgable about the animals and their different characters. We were each " matched" with a Llama and got to know them as we walked out on our short trek. After the trek we warmed up with tea and cake, a nice touch. This has been the highlight of our week in beautiful Yorkshire and would thoroughly recommend.

Visited rudding park spa as part of a spa break which included staying at the hotel and a meal in the clocktower restaurant. The spa offers some great facilities including foot spas, saunas, luxury steam room, oxygen room, experience showers, spa bath, sunlight therapy and a hydrotherapy pool. Really loved spending time in the outdoor hydrotherapy pool so relaxing and was set to a great temperature. The roof top spa was a really great area just to chill out with some modern garden space surrounding. I had a full body massage which i would fully recommend. Look forward to attending rudding park again in future and will fully recommend to family and friends
