Is Harrogate, north Yorkshire, a good place for parks, green spaces and such?

Question

My memories of Harrogate are mainly of the town centre; its a good town, but is there much greenery? Do the parks tend to be small and tidy, or is there much wild space? Obviously I have looked it up on the map and the net, but its hard to gauge an accurate idea without hearing it from someone who knows the area.

Answer 1

Stayed there on a rugby tour ( many years ago !) There was a huge park area near  town centre which gave it a lovely atmosphere Nice town .

Answer 2

It's actually quiet in the summer but busy the rest of the year because of the Conference Centre, which is off-season right now. I was only there 2 days but I wish it had been longer. Also a good base if you want to visit nearby York.

Answer 3

yes , you will not be dissapointed - travel there all the time
