It includes beautiful historic buildings, including the Magnesia Well Pump Rooms, the Sun Pavilion and the Sun Colonnade, which sit alongside a wide variety of shrub, flower and herbaceous beds.
Part of the gardens is protected by the Harrogate Borough Council Act 1986 and is known as the Bogs Field. The Act outlines how the council manages this area to maintain and preserve it.
