Harrogate has been named among the best places to live in the UK in 2025.
Lifestyle publisher Muddy Stilettos has released a list of the top 300 places and this time has covered “more regions than ever before.”
The Yorkshire category includes ten locations, including Harrogate, Ilkley, Skipton and York.
Speaking about Harrogate, Muddy Stilettos writes:
“Young families and couples flock to Yorkshire, specifically Harrogate, to fill their boots with leafy parks, great schools, tempting house prices and a buzzy town centre that’s bursting with one-off shops, cafés and restaurants.”
The listing highlights Bettys, Coach & Horses, The West Park Hotel and Paradise Cafe at Daleside Nurseries as places particularly worth a visit.
It also points to Harrogate’s “buzzing” indie scene, particularly around Commercial Street, Cold Bath Road and Kings Road.
In terms of local attractions for health and wellbeing, Rudding Park’s spa, Turkish Baths and North Studio all get a mention.
And for schools, Muddy Stilettos points to Ashville College, Harrogate Ladies College, Harrogate Grammar, St Aidan’s and Western Primary.
Hero Brown, the founder and editor-in-chief of Muddy Stilettos, said:
“When people decide to move, they’re searching for more than just a house - they want a home, a lifestyle that works for them and their family, and if they’re strategic, a long-term investment too.
"Our 2025 ‘Top 300 Best Places To Live’ guide will give them that extra reassurance they need to make their search easier in these difficult economic times.”
