Dalesman Town Guide: Harrogate
by Mark Reid (ISBN 1-85568-172-2, paperback, 48pp, RRP £1:99).
BOOK DESCRIPTION
“Dalesman Town Guide: Harrogate” explores England’s most historic Spa Town.
- This pocket guidebook tells the story of Harrogate – England’s most historic Spa Town – from when it was just a scattering of farms in the Royal Hunting Forest of Knaresborough to its glory days as perhaps the most fashionable Spa Town in Europe.
- The book features a detailed account of the history of Harrogate, which is then explored, along with the town’s fascinating architecture and heritage, by way of four walking tours around the streets and gardens of Harrogate.
- The four walks include ‘Low Harrogate’, ‘The Valley Gardens’, High Harrogate’ and ‘The Town Centre’.
- The text is illustrated with drawings by John A. Ives.
