Knaresborough - One of the Prettiest Towns in Yorkshire - North Yorkshire
Knaresborough has to be one of the prettiest towns in Yorkshire. The River Nidd Gorge carves its way through the town and beautiful historic buildings some 900 years old, teeter over the edge looking down at the river. We have visited many towns in Yorkshire in other videos but this has to be one of the prettiest towns in Yorkshire. It has more than just the historical aspects of a Castle and the iconic Knaresborough Viaduct, but riverside walks along the famous former Royal Forest of Knaresborough. The folklore tales of Mother Shipton and the petrifying well, to local hero Blind Jack. It is truly a fantastic place to spend a day, boating, walking and soaking up the atmosphere.
Join us for a lovely walk, some history and details about the local attractions in this pretty Yorkshire town.

Love your soft speaking voice and informative commentary; your videos never disappoint and have provided me with great solo traveling ideas. You manage to find the quaintest little towns and villages and share relevant historical data, visitor must see spots, good eating shops, lodging, and I appreciate your public transportation tips the most. Excellent channel; I have enjoyed all your videos and thank you for sharing your love of exploring with us all.

Hi once more and thank you from down under 🦘🇦🇺. It’s been a total joy touring this lovely place with you. We discovered it by chance on a UK trip some years ago and now hold it as one of our all time gems. Staying in a B&B right on Waterside, we managed a row on the river on a beautiful sunny day, as the church bells were ringing out, one of many fond memories of this splendid town.

How do y'all keep finding these beautiful towns? The place is gorgeous, simply gorgeous! It bestows an aura that is totally loyal, yet at the same time, passionately intriguing, peaceful and serene, and solidly romantic and adoring. I hope this makes sense? I thoroughly enjoyed this video. There's something about Knaresborough that is so very alluring and enchanting in a very gentle, kind and righteous way. Wow!

Brings back memories. It’s a lovely town. As a very small boy in the early 1960s my older sister took me out on one of the hire boats. I returned to Knaresborough for a while in the late 80s and lived in the gatehouse of Mother Shipton’s Cave and the Long Walk.
Another outstanding video of a beautiful village. The scenes were stunning and the narration was interesting, informative, and amusing. This would be a great place to include with a visit to York. Thanks.

I took quite a few screen shots. I especially loved the view of the viaduct from above and the old castle mill converted dwellings by the water. What I’d give to have a peek inside. Your videos are always such a joy to watch. Thanks again to you both. Stay well. ❤

I just love your history lessons. Good grief the intermarriage of famous and infamous families probably led to quite a bit of inbreeding through the ages. I've been looking at listening to podcasts when I'm in the car and just wondered if your vlogs would work. Probably not in the present format but might try just having a vlog running and see if it's viable. Thanks as always =-)

What a beautiful and very interesting town! The hills and river, as well as the train station and market square add a level of energy. And I love a good castle, lol. The history of the original family (and their ups and downs) is fascinating. And Mother Shipton! An intriguing story! Caves and grottoes and magic wells. Thank you again for a lovely visit to another Yorkshire town off the beaten path.
