Week in Harrogate local route recomendations please.
Myself and my wife have a weeks accommodation booked in Harrogate during September, would be grateful for some local knowledge/recommendations for routes throughout the area, no massive daily mileages please, we normally like to do 2 or 3 hours in the morning then stop for lunch in a nice town/village (again your recommendations welcome) then another couple of hours, enjoy roads with a view, nice lanes old "time stood still" villages/towns (no off road) like to find places of interest to have a walk round and chill out. not looking for high speed peg down curves. looking more at routes west and north of Harrogate, but consider any recommendations. also looking for some day out walking routes close to the town, tourist information will obviously help with this but again I value local knowledge.
Wapping will be here to tell me to use the search function on here in a min, I have pinched a few pointers for previous trips to Europe from his posts.
I'm not lazy but I am short on time to do the research and also believe you can't beat local knowledge for pointing out the little easily missed details which make your day that bit more special.
