Activities in North Yorkshire
-
Harrogate Turkish Baths
Plunge into Harrogate's past as you splash into the fabulously tiled Turkish Baths in the Royal Baths Assembly Rooms. The mock Moorish facility is gloriously Victorian and offers a range of watery delights - relax in a steam room or sizzle in a sauna. A visit should linger on for at least two hours, but call first as the opening hours are complicated.
