MAP OF HOTELS IN HARROGATE TOWN CENTRE - CLICK HERE Prior to the discovery of its naturally iron and sulphur rich water, Harrogate was a minor village close to the historic town of Knaresborough. The first mineral spring in Harrogate was discovered by William Slingsby in 1571, who found that water from the Tewitt Well possessed similar properties to that from the springs of the Belgian town of Spa. The medicinal properties of the waters were more widely publicised by one Edmund Deane, whose book, Spadacrene Anglica, or the English Spa Fountain was published in 1626. Following this Harrogate developed considerable fame as a spa town. Harrogate Shopping: Harrogate has some great shopping opportunities, all the high street names plus many smaller independent shops offering designer labels and high quality items. Cafes and Bars throughout the centre of the town offer the opporunity to take a break - with many having outside seating - so you can watch the world go by. Check out our shopping in Harrogate directory to help locate the shops and stores in the town. Today the site of the Tewitt Well is marked by a dome within the Stray, an area of open parkland some 200 acres (800,000 m2) in size that runs through the centre of the town. The Harrogate Stray was created in 1778 by an act of Parliament. Other wells can be found in Harrogate's Valley Gardens and the Royal Pump Room museum.
