Turkish Baths

Plunge into Harrogate's past at the town's fabulously tiled Turkish Baths. This mock-Moorish facility is gloriously Victorian and offers a range of watery delights: hot rooms, steam rooms, a plunge pool and so on, plus use of the original wooden changing cubicles and historic Crapper toilets. There's a complicated schedule of opening hours that are by turns single sex or mixed, so call or check online for details. The weekly guided tour of the building is fascinating and cheap – book ahead.
