Harewood House

One of the Treasure Houses of England, this incredible 18th-century historical residence and surrounding gardens cover around 140 acres of stunning Yorkshire countryside.

Our luxurious 36 bus is your route to this famous house, with buses every 10 minutes throughout the day from Leeds and Harrogate.

Hydro Harrogate Leisure and Wellness Centre

Swimming is the perfect way to burn off extra energy, so why not spend a morning or afternoon enjoying the water at Harrogate’s Hydro Leisure and Wellness Centre?

The hub offers access to a 25-metre, eight-lane swimming pool, as well as state-of-the-art gym facilities, a steam room and sauna – meaning you can relax or work out at your own pace.

Grab your goggles because Hydro Harrogate is served by many of our routes, including the 36 from Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon, and 24 from Pateley Bridge.

Stockeld Park

Stockeld Park is the ultimate family adventure – spread across over 40 acres, there’s the Enchanted Forest and its outdoor playgrounds, the Woodland Canopy and its accessible pathways, and the incredible 20,000 square foot indoor adventure playground, aka The Playhive.

The adventure park is only a short distance away from the town centre, with the 7 taking you right to the entrance, going from Leeds, Wetherby and Harrogate.

Harrogate Climbing Centre

Fancy something a bit more physical – check out Live For Today’s Harrogate Climbing Centre, which offers bouldering, rope climbing, and abseiling in its fabulous indoor arena.

If you’re a beginner or accompanying children, bouldering is the perfect introduction to climbing. Involving short, dynamic climbs over a padded mat, it’s a great way to develop coordination, strength and confidence!

You can travel to the Harrogate Climbing Centre on our 36 bus, or on the A2 FLYER – simply hop off at Oatlands Corner, and it’s a short walk to the main entrance.

RHS Garden Harlow Carr

Explore the magical landscape of RHS Garden Harlow Carr, which combines garden inspiration with outdoor discovery, and features beautiful wildflower meadows, woodlands, and streamside flower beds.

You can visit this stunning location on the 6, which drops you off at Harlow Grange, just a short walk away from the gardens’ entrance – and you can get 30% off admission when you show your ticket.
