Royal Pump Rooms Museum

The Royal Pump Room Museum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Harrogate, probably because it's right next to the royal baths in Crescent Gardens. You can visit the sulfur pit where 15,000 people from around the world come each summer. The water there has an odd taste and it's said to cure diseases. Also check out the bathrooms and an exhibition on the Russian royal family as well as the politicos who came to spend the summer in Harrogate in the 19th and 20th centuries. Charles Dickens said that this city was the strangest place in the world! The museum also has antique shops inside, and nearby are the city's famous hotels, and some Victorian-era traditions.
