Trip To Harrogate


Hey There! 

So I thought I'd do a short travel post about my trip to Harrogate
Located just 30 minutes from Leeds, Harrogate is a perfect destination for a day trip. It is a beautiful spa town, which has preserved all of its old-fashioned charm and the true essence of Yorkshire.

Our first stop was at Betty's Tearooms - a must-visit for everyone who visits this delightful little town. 
With an incredible selection of teas, coffees, and of course the vast array of fresh cakes and deserts, it is a treat that everyone should allow themselves. They also offer a traditional high tea, with a selection of miniature pastries, scones and sandwiches
I decided to go for an open faced Waldorf Salad sandwich and a jasmine tea with honey - delicious! And of course, being a total sucker for chocolate I could not resist desert. My choice of a raspberry and dark chocolate rich cake did not disappoint! 





The town is not only a gastronomical heaven for the foodies out there, but also a treasure chest of culture and history.  There are also a number of ancient castles in the Harrogate area, some of which dating back as far as the XI century – definitely worth a visit for those interested in British history. 
It was a truly wonderful day and I had such fantastic time! Definitely recommend it if you're ever in Yorkshire

Until next time!
