What to expect
The Turkish Baths in Harrogate are a restored Victorian bathing suite with an ornate Moorish-style interior, dating from the late 1800s. You move between rooms of increasing heat, cooling off with a plunge pool and a cooling room. There are single-sex and mixed sessions at different times. It is an unusual spa experience, and a good wet-day activity.
Tips before you go
- Check which sessions are mixed or single-sex.
- Avoid heavy meals or alcohol before a session.
- People with some medical conditions should seek advice before using heat rooms.
