VISITORS can now use the free Open Harrogate app to navigate around the town using sustainable alternatives to cars.
The town’s green highlights include:
Visitors get half price entry at RHS Gardens, Harlow Carr, if they get there by bus, and cyclists are rewarded with £2 discounts. Its grounds are home to a range of plants and greenery, all of which is composted and re-cycled.
At the Fodder Café and Farm Shop, 85% of their produce comes from Yorkshire. The café was built with 22 green features, including a ground source heat pump, grey water recycling, and natural ventilation.
The Swinton Park Hotel at Masham holds a Green Tourism Award and has a range of sustainable initiatives, including a carbon neutral wood chip boiler, a waste-to-energy recycling scheme, and an energy conserving o-zone technology laundry. Its four-acre walled garden allows guests to see exactly where their produce comes from before dining.
