Valley Gardens

Harrogate is a spa town and popular tourist attraction in North Yorkshire. The town became known as 'The English Spa' in the Georgian era, after its waters were discovered in the 16th century.
In the 17th and 18th centuries its 'chalybeate' waters (containing iron) were a popular health treatment, and the influx of wealthy but sickly visitors contributed significantly to the wealth of the town.
