The Gardens at Harlow Carr stand on what was once part of the Forest of Knaresborough, an ancient royal hunting ground. Springs of sulphur water were discovered here in 1734 and people came to bathe in the warm waters for which they were charged 2s 6d (12.5 new pence). 
Gardens were laid out around the bath house and in 1861 the site at Harlow Carr springs was described as a 'sweet secluded spot...the grounds neatly laid out, adorned with a selection of trees, shrubs, flowers, walks, easy seats and shady arbours'.
The RHS now manages the Gardens at Harlow Carr which have something for every season including one of the best collections of moisture loving plants.
