Always enjoy a stay in Harrogate and watching the squirrels from the window of Bettys
Oh yes - fantastic stuff
Bettys is so busy still - great to see
@@GimbalWalkTV I always go between 1030 and 11 as usually no queue when in Harrogate at that time but have waited for nearly an hour once to get into the York one as I am a bit of a Bettys fanatic and only get to Yorkshire once or twice a year so have to squeeze in a few visits whilst there
there's an even better bettys if you go to harlow carr, beautiful views and the staff are much friendlier (im a local btw)
I'm from harrogate and let me tell you as beautiful as a place it is and as safe as it is, there was nothing to do growing up there as a kid. In fortunate my grandmum had a huge yard with a pond and woods for me to muck about in. Man if these people were able to smell the Sulphur fountain at the pump room through their phones! 😂 this was a good video. I now live in America and i miss my old stomping grounds. I hope to be visiting next year. Trust me, i already know it's going to cost a small fortune just to stay a week. Place was bloody expensive then and i know it's even more expensive now. I can't believe that they turned that spa into a Chinese restaurant! Subbed!
I have not been to Harrogate in years , would love to go back one day
It’s great
Harrogate one of my most favourite places
Local here and its really not what it used to be, great four tourists i'm sure but if i ever want to do anything interesting aside from getting drunk i have to hop on a train for it, plus people here have a staring issue here and can be quite rude about it. (i was born here, ive never really enjoyed it.)
Just played this on TV with my Daughter. Beautiful city.Lovely little shops in that court yard.Enjoyed it greatly,thankyou. Watching Mevagissy as I write.😊
Thank you so much for your support ❤️❤️
One of the best places in the UK to live.
Oh yes
I never knew that Harrogate was very prosperous and wealthy 🤑. I thought 🤔 it was just a gritty Yorkshire town. Lots of character at Bettys 🍵. Enjoy your 🍺. What a wonderful Wetherpoons. Cheers Neil 👍
Well done. It's on a shortlist to live in. Shipped off to Canada as a kid from Wetherby decades ago. Always wanted to go back when corporate work-life becomes less important. Wife's open to it. 👌
Unless you have done another walk round Harrogate,I thought you might have shown Valley Gardens.Went there every year on holiday for about 30 years.
Another great video from a great day out its a great utube travel channel
Thank you so much!
We’re off to North Yorkshire in April, staying at the Old Swan in Harrogate as our starting point. So excited after seeing your video.
Ah you will have a great time!
I've always wanted to visit the UK and one of my dream destinations was Yorkshire and especially Harrogate, but being a mere college student in the other side of the world (and with a weak passport too) does have its limitations. So, thank you for taking me there for a short visit! Although it was just through a video, i felt like I was walking along the beautiful town. I had a great time 😊😊
Thank you so much that's the best feedback!
Harrogate, really fantastic 👌
Great isn’t it
I was here for about 6 weeks for a work related stuff and had the best time. Everyone was so kind and helpful and the town is so beautiful and I wish to revisit it ASAP
It's a really friendly town isnt it!
I will have to go back here. I haven't been for years .
Caledonian. Coaches pick you up from Middlesbrough bus station and take you here, and you stop at a hotel with bed breakfast and evening. Meal included all for £79 each.
Excellent tour, thank you! It’s many years since I visited Harrogate and so much has changed. I’m pleased to see a lot has been pedestrianised.
Many thanks!
Lovely place and fairly easy to wander around now!
Lovely landscaping. Hello from Oregon USA
Hello! 👋
Hope you’re well
Thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️
Gotta love Wetherspoons. Usually big pubs with good selection of ale. This one looks nice, lot of space under the roof. I will most likely visit my favourite Wetherspoon this upcoming week, which is Archibald Simpsons in Aberdeen. The location used to be an old bank.
I was looking at filming Aberdeen today actually so will have to pop in there when I'm in the area
@@GimbalWalkTV Enjoy! 😊🍺
We definitely missed Montpellier street when we visited. Next time, I guess. So many beautiful buildings!
Oh yes!
Hello Neil how are you love your vidio of Harrogate very interested and they have Betty's tea rooms there too best wishes take care stay safe ❤😅😅
The Muriel on James street is the Ribble viaduct.🏴
Ahh! I did wonder!
@@GimbalWalkTV But the most wonderful Muriel from Harrogate was my mother :)
It depicts the viaduct crossing the Crimple at Pannal, just to the south of the town.
@@hedleytriggs9638 It looks like the Ribble viaduct.
@@jackwatsonepic626the Pannal viaduct is about 560m long and crosses a full valley. The Ribblehead viaduct is about 410m long and is set in a much wider valley. They are both impressive structures but the Pannal one doesn't get the recognition it deserves, probably because it isn't in such a stunning location.
It’s such a great town been a few years since I was there will being going back soon so much I did not see thanks Neil for this great video
Glad you enjoyed it - more to come this week!
Coniston lake district Cumbria, Donald Campbell " boat " blue bird returned to coniston yesterday 9th march ,on display
Ooh might have to go see it!
The famous Betty's tearooms. I found Harrogate good, but the only problem was that there was all banks.
I don't mean the money type. I mean the hill type LOL.😂🏴
ha ha agreed!
I was 7 when my parents decided to emigrate to Australia in 1964.
I was 57 when I returned to Harrogate for a couple of weeks. Loved it.
Biggest disappointment though, was Betty's. Over priced. Nothing to write home about with the scone, cream and jam.
The cuppa was nice, but fortunately I don't take sugar, because there was a long black hair stuck to a lump of sugar in the bowl.
I'm bald, and the waitress was blond, so where it came from is anyone's guess.
i try to tell all tourists to skip the pish posh town centre one and go to harlow carr instead, much better experience and service + that garden is absolutely stunning especially in spring or summer. highlyyy reccomend. 😊
Have you been to Skipton north Yorkshire, you can go in the church, walk along the canal. Skipton have a market.
I can’t remember - but I will go and film it this summer for sure
@@GimbalWalkTV lots of different long boats on the canal.
Harrogate has the biggest " Bettys cafe " people will que up outside.
Harrogate has spa baths and a water fountains outside
Lovely stuff
As a local this video does make me giggle, it's a great place to visit but living here can be pretty stress inducing with lack of jobs, super expensive housing and not a lot of nightlife or activities for locals. it is really safe though, i live in jennyfields known as the "rough" area to the posh people living here and we've only had 3 crime related incidents in my neighbourhood in the past 15 years, that i do love a lot. I feel pretty safe as a young woman in this town. ❤
That’s good to hear
Safety is most definitely preferable to things to do as frustrating as that might be I guess
But you are close to 3 big city's for work?
@@Samantha-xr4mx prob not a lot of abuse happens in those areas like Birmingham & South London & most big uk cities in general
