Harrogate, North Yorks. & a Boat on the Oxford Canal May / June 2011 |
|
Wanting to include Benson in our main holiday of the year, and always wanting to tick things off our 'to do' lists, we came up with the idea of a canal boat holiday. But what if we hated it? We decided on just one week - to be safe! But what about the second week? Returning to the lists, we realised that we had both heard good things about the Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate, but that neither of us had ever been there. So that was it, a week on a canal boat followed by a week in a dog-friendly apartment in North Yorkshire, Except that it became more practical to go to Harrogate first so, after spending a night with our friends Ross and Fizz in the Peak District, we entered England's largest county.
