Here you go:

using System;
using HtmlAgilityPack;
                    
public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var html =
        @"<html><body><p>foo <a href='http://www.example.com'>bar</a><br> baz</p></body></html> ";
        var htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
        htmlDoc.LoadHtml(html);
        var htmlAnchor = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//a");
        var htmlBr = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//p");
        string hrefValue = htmlAnchor.Attributes["href"].Value;
        Console.WriteLine(htmlBr.InnerText + " " + hrefValue);
    }
}

Output:

foo bar baz http://www.example.com
