Harrogate is a great base for Yorkshire which has many moods; it can be wild and windswept or quietly tranquil, with outstanding scenery, and gardens. It is always inspiring and famous for its magnificent country houses, traditional towns, and authors such as James Herriot. A huge success in 2024 when this tour operated for the first time.
