Turkish Baths Harrogate
Dating from 1897 but fully restored, these Moorish-inspired baths have beautiful glazed brickwork, vaulted painted ceilings, and elaborately-tiled floors that look virtually the same as they would have to their fashionable Victorian clientele. After changing into your bathing suit, relax on luxurious lounge chairs in the stunning mosaic-tile warming room. Move on to the increasingly hot sauna rooms, and then soak up eucalyptus mist in the steam room before braving the icy plunge pool. You can also book a massage or facial. Open hours are divided into single-sex and mixed sessions, so book in advance. Guided tours are given Wednesday at 8:30 am.
