TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience

"Visiting Harrogate: It's a good idea to arrive early and bake in some time to experience Harrogate's famous tea rooms. The delicious Yorkshire brews and cream scones at Bettys are a great way to fuel up at the start of the day. Once you've explored town, head out to the nearby Brimham Rocks. This scenic stretch of moorland is dotted with boulders that are great fun to clamber over."
