Harrogate Expands and Develops
16 de julho de 2022, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
Harrogate still attracts lots of visitors. Many do use the two remaining spas for steam treatments, massages, manicures, etc. The concert hall was formerly named Kursaal, but during WWI that German name was changed to Royal Hall. There is lots of shopping, restaurants, tea shops, gorgeous architecture, and of course the gardens. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is close, for exploring and hiking. One could spend a lot of time here!

Our housesit is only about 1 mile from the town center, easily walkable, except for all the hills! For all this, we are taking care of two loving cats. A pretty good deal!Leia mais

Harrogate's Healing Waters
15 de julho de 2022, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Harrogate is England's famous spa town, with over 100 springs supplying different types of mineral water. The first one was discovered in 1571, when Harrogate was just a small village, and soon visitors started coming to drink the waters.

It was the sulphur well that drew the wealthy and made Harrogate famous especially in the 1800s. Many hotels, some with their own spas, were built for people to stay for weeks while taking the waters. A hospital was built to allow poor people to stay and take the waters.

In 1841 The Old Sulphur Well was topped by an elegant octagonal building, the Royal Pump House, where the water was pumped and served in glasses for a fee. Outside the building was a tap where the poor could help themselves for free.

Valley Gardens has at least 35 wells with different mineral content, making it the highest concentration of varying springs in the world. Both here and in other parts of the city there were other pump houses, and as more and more people came, bigger pump houses were built.

The waters were used to treat many conditions, from scurvy and gout to epilepsy and skin ailments. Recent tests by the EU now prevent the water from being served.Leia mais

Highlands Games
1 de julho de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
Découverte des célèbres Highlands games : des kilts, des bières, des jeux absurdes mais surtout beaucoup de virilité : lancer de troncs, tirs à la corde, lutte, lancer de marteaux,... Le tout sur un fond de cornemuse. Une belle kermesse made in Scotland concrètement!

On entame la route vers Folkestone pour alléger la journée du dimanche. Arrêt ornitho on the way : rspb geltsdale.

Merci le camping basket, une bonne douche de prise histoire de reprendre la route frais le lendemain.Leia mais

Harlow Carr
5 de agosto de 2018, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Off to Harlow Carr, a Royal Horticultural Society garden just up the road from Harewood.

Beside being a fantastic garden the place also has a local Bettys. (No apostrophe) Bettys is a local icon based in Harrogate. It was founded by a lost Swiss pastry chef in the 1919. He accidentally got on the train to Yorkshire and the rest is a hundred years of clogging arteries.

It’s a great place with disgraceful pastries and cakes. I will admit that a lot of people appeared to have been taken there by their children as a day out from the Home. Hope Kate didn’t feel like a carer.

All of this before we got inside.

The gardens are very impressive even in 27 degree heat. Every sort of plant you could imagine. Also had a somewhat aged men’s choir serenading the crowd, a giant fly and columns. The great English custom of lets bring a chair and sit about until something happens was much in evidence. What else could you ask.

Charlie bore it all well. (Being pushed around in a pram when she got weary helped a lot).

And this was only the morning.Leia mais
