Knaresborough River Nidd

VISIT KNARESBOROUGH

Famous for its breathtaking views of the Nidd Gorge from the ruins of the medieval castle, Knaresborough is made up of numerous ancient walkways, cobbled alleys and secret passages, all of which reward careful exploration.

Mother Shipton's Cave, the birthplace of the 15th century prophetess lies on the bank of the River Nidd, famous for the Petrifying Well, and along the idyllic Abbey Road Waterside walk lies the rare medieval heritage, St. Robert's Cave, cut into the cliff face beside the Nidd.

Knaresborough also lays claim to England's oldest chemist shop which has stood in Knaresborough's picturesque Market Place since 1720.These are just a few of the many reasons to visit Knaresborough both at Christmas and all year round.
