Location
Harrogate sits smack-bang in the middle of the UK, and benefits from fantastic transportation links, with Leeds Bradford International Airport only 20 minutes away, excellent access to the A1/M1, and regular train services to London, Edinburgh and the rest of the major cities of the UK.
Harrogate International Centre itself sits right in the heart of Harrogate, within easy walking distance of around 4,000 bedspaces and over 100 restaurants and bars.
Characteristic architecture, grand boulevards, cosmopolitan café-lined streets awash with elegant boutiques, immaculately maintained green spaces, culture, fine dining, one of the lowest crime rates in the UK and a position on the edge of the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales… it’s hardly a wonder that Harrogate is one of the most desirable places to live and visit in the UK.
