Re: Harlow Carr gardens, Harrogate
I have often wanted to go there, Tabs.It is the RHS place isn't it.
I believe they do a lot of trials there for growing different plants. It is often in my gardening magazine. I never knew it was that extensive though.
Smashing pics.
Glad you had such a nice day.

The ones at Boroughbridge were supposed to have been left there by the Devil - I think they are known as the Devils Arrows.
We did visit Betty's - never again - what a rip off. 1 x coffee, 2 x teas, and two 'fat rascals' ( a type of scone) came to £22:50p !
Next time I go - I will will take a picnic.

Fortunately it is well supplied with seats/benches. Dogs are allowed if kept on leads, and they have mobility buggies and wheelchairs available if needed. Plenty of parking as well.

Sounds smashing Tabs.
Pity is it so far from me, I'd love to see it.
I never dreamed it was such a huge place.
