i live in harrogate and my view is harrogate/knaresborough are very nice places. full of children in hooded tops and full of boy racers (where isnt?). both towns are very nice places and in comparison to manchester, leeds, london etc they are very peacefull places. Harrogate is famous for Bettys, Vally Gardens and old buildings. Knaresborough is famous for Shiptons Cave, Buildings and the river. they arnt full of entertainment arcades (but it aint blackpool). Very nice place to live and visit

I agree 100% with what you say ... many thanks for adding your comment

in my view you're all snobs.. harrogate is full of old tory gits looking for cups of weak tea.

I have never been to Harrogate so can comment any further , apart from the fact that I do not live in Yorkshire ...

Are you really 41 years old ????

I was reading an original copy of "The Spare Half Hour" by C.H. Spurgeon from the late 1800's and felt compelled to give a search on youtube. He has a quite lengthy illustration on the effects of "the world" hardening peoples hearts and spirits like the Dripping Well at Knaresborough. I see mostly teddy bears hanging there, but he describes hats, shoes, birds, bird nests, a raven, a hare...I guess animals didn't have too many rights back then.

I visited Knaresborough a few days ago (for work purposes) and I stayed in The Dowerhouse Hotel, just up the road from O.M.S.Cave. I wish i had more time to sight-see because it looks lovely.

I would strongly recommend going to yorkshire. It is a beautiful place and the people are friendly and helpful. x
