"The name Harrogate is first attested in the 1330s as Harwegate, Harougat and Harrowgate.[8] The origin of the name is uncertain. It may derive from Old Norse hǫrgr 'a heap of stones, cairn' + gata 'street', in which case the name presumably meant 'road to the cairn'.[9] Another possibility is that the name means "the way to Harlow". The form Harlowgate is known from 1518,[10] and apparently in the court rolls of Edward II.[11]"

The staff are all really friendly and knowledgeable about music, which is an added bonus."

"What: Also known as The Clock Café, LS6 has a long history to it and is in fact one of the longest running independent businesses in Leeds to this day. It might not have served a brunch menu when it first opened but it certainly does now, and mighty fine one at that. The menu, which is split into sections like 'eggs' and 'muffins' covers everything from toast and jam to a full Yorkshire breakfast, as well as offering a selection of sandwiches and wraps too.Where:14-16A Headingley Lane, LS6 2AS"

"What:It might be easy to get lost in LS6’s quirky interiors, but we would recommend paying at least some attention to the menu. We’re big fans of the extensive breakfast menu on the weekends, which includes everything from porridge to burgers, alongside a build-your-own option and a drunken cheese toastie made with beer sauteed onions.Where: 14-16A Headingley Lane, LS6 2AS"

"Another restaurant where the answer is in the name, Rustique is all about rustic French food. The idea here is to provide a typical French dining experience with traditionally cooked fish and meat dishes. If you haven't done so already, maybe this is the place to try Escargot for the first time."

"If you’re in the mood for something a little different at lunchtime, why not stop in at the Brasserie Blanc?. Converted from an old Victorian mill, this restaurant not only offers a great lunch deal, but it also has a unique and comforting atmosphere.

"This Grade I listed Georgian church was nearly lost in the 1950s, but was saved when church officials decided that it was a building of historical and architectural importance. While it’s still a place of worship, Holy Trinity Church is also a lively community space and they put on all manner of events for you to enjoy, including art exhibitions, vintage fairs and live music – the acoustics are fantastic. Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW."

"As a Grade I listed building under the English Heritage Registry, the Chantry Chapel of St.Mary is an ancient and beautiful monument to Wakefield’s history. Although it is only open at specific times, making the extra effort to see this place is definitely worth it. Although small, many have praised it for its beautiful stained windows, its enriching history, and the complimentary tea and biscuits along with it!"

"Thomas Atkinson, an 18th century English architect, is famous for remaking the Bishopthorpe Palace in York in the Gothic Revival style. Though a rather influential figure of his time, very little is known about Atkinson's private life. His house, located at 20 St. Andrewgate, is one of the sparse evidences of his life in York."

"For those who live in Horsforth, it's no secret that this place becomes swamped in the summer months and it's got a bit of everything. If you fancy burning off a few calories then the Trim Trail is one of the best around and it's also plenty big enough for a quick game of cricket or football, but the highlight is undoubtedly the stunning Japanese Garden."

"Just north of Rodley Nature Reserve is this park with a Japanese garden, trails and plenty more. The main entrance is off Hall Lane, Horsforth"
