Hello there! We are a family of six (with three now away) and we have lived in Harrogate for eight years now. Guy is a vicar and Ruth works at a different church as a curate. We love living here - Harrogate has got everything you could need (a restaurant for every day of the year!) and is near Leeds, York, and Manchester, as well as being on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
