Are you thinking ahead about where to visit during your stay here in North Yorkshire?

Harlow Carr Gardens in Harrogate is a super place and something with broad appeal across the generations.

On a recent visit this September, we enjoyed admiring the sculpture displays that have been added this year.

Here are some more photographs of the sculptures.

There are lots of places for young children to enjoy running around and games of hide and seek. There are climbing frames and balance beams in the woodlands in a few different places in the gardens to keep young ones occupied too.

The children may love to discover the sculptures themselves too.
