If you are planning a couples' break, the Montpellier Quarter is a good place to start; these pedestrianised streets are where you’ll find many of Harrogate’s antique shops, art galleries, jewellers and boutiques. As well as numerous bars, cafes and restaurants. Next on the agenda for couples might be a spa treatment, a visit to the Pump Museum or a stroll around Harrogate’s impressive parks and gardens.
