Harrogate's RHS Harlow Carr named among UK's most beautiful gardens

RHS Harlow Carr has been named among the most beautiful gardens in the UK.

RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate has been named among Britain’s “most beautiful gardens” by Country Living magazine.

The mag has compiled a list of the top 20 gardens across the UK that are worth a visit this summer.

And Harlow Carr on Crag Lane has been included at number three.

Speaking about the attraction, Country Living said:

“One of the Royal Horticultural Society's northern flagships, Harlow Carr is an inspiring garden, showcasing the best of gardening innovation. 

“There are sections devoted to different groups of plants, including a rose garden, a bulb garden and an arboretum, and plants blooming across a range of terrains, with woodlands, wildflower meadows, and rockeries.”

The magazine was also full of praise for Harrogate, adding:

“You can combine a visit to the garden with time exploring lovely Harrogate, the upmarket spa town where Harlow Carr is located. 

“Attractions in this historic town include the Mercer Art Gallery, the Royal Pump Room Museum and of course Betty's Tearoom, a Harrogate institution, serving delicious afternoon teas.”

The list named Tresco Abbey Gardens in the Isle of Scilly and Sissinghurst Castle in Kent as the top two gardens to visit.
