Today, it's primarily a holiday resort known for its parks and flowers, earning it the title of Britain's Floral Resort. One of its most popular attractions is RHS Garden Harlow Carr.
In addition to its diverse garden types, there's a museum of gardening, a model village, and guided tours of the 68-acre site.
