Knaresborough, in North Yorkshire, is packed with must-see attractions \ud83d\ude0d, from historic sites like Knaresborough Castle and Mother Shipton\u2019s Cave, to natural wonders like the River Nidd and the stunning Nidd Valley \ud83c\udf3f. This is how you can take a self-guided tour of Knaresborough, seeing everything in under 8 km. <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThere\u2019s not much to do inside Knaresborough,\u201d admits the lady at the Visitor Centre, as we huddle together flipping through brochures to escape the December winter rain \ud83c\udf27\ufe0f.<\/p>

Thank goodness we\u2019re not shy and know how to pull our rain jackets all the way up \ud83d\udcaa.<\/p>

We grabbed a handy brochure called “The Historical Trail of Knaresborough” and set off on our rainy tour of the landmarks.<\/p>

It wasn\u2019t my first time in Knaresborough, so I knew the place well, especially since most of the key sights are along the east side of the River Nidd. Still, it was the perfect time to rediscover it, and honestly, there\u2019s no better way to explore a place than on foot\u2014even if the sky keeps pouring.<\/p>

This 6\u20138 km self-guided walk took us about two and a half hours at a leisurely pace \ud83c\udf3f. We followed the route in the brochure, with a few detours to visit small shops and St Robert\u2019s Cave. And of course, we stopped at a caf\u00e9 for a hot coffee \u2615.<\/p>

So if you want a tour that covers all the key sights and landmarks in Knaresborough, this self-guided walk is perfect for you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A great place to start your historical tour is the old town center, first mentioned in recorded history in 1206 \ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f. Today, about 15,000 people live in the city, and markets have been held here every Wednesday since at least 1310, when King Edward II granted it an official charter. <\/p>

There are many shops worth visiting, including charity shops and a wonderful antique store we liked called Donkey\u2019s Years Antiques \ud83d\uded2. <\/p>

Around the Market Cross, the old cobblestone traces remain, surrounded by benches with seated statues depicting two of the city\u2019s most famous figures: Mother Shipton, the English soothsayer and prophetess from English folklore, and Blind Jack Metcalf, who, despite being blind, became a renowned and prolific road builder. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After reading the information and taking some photos \ud83d\udcf8, right behind you is Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe. As the name suggests, it\u2019s the oldest pharmacy in England, operating continuously from 1720 until 1997. It\u2019s now a charming gift shop selling everything from handmade soaps to chocolates, with a cozy lavender tea room upstairs nestled among the historic beams \u2615. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When you exit to the right from the door of Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe, turn left onto the road and walk straight ahead toward Caneyrsboro Library, all the way to Castlegate \ud83d\udeb6\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. <\/p>

You\u2019ll see Caneyrsboro Police Station around the corner, and here you need to pass through the gate between it and Castle Inn. Continue straight to Castle Yard and enter the castle grounds on your right. <\/p>

Caneyrsboro Castle today is considered a ruined fortress, originally built by the Normans, who recognized the natural defensive advantage provided by the rocky cliff above the River Nidd \ud83c\udfde\ufe0f. The earliest written record of the castle dates back to the reign of King Henry I (1100\u20131135). <\/p>

The castle has endured two sieges in its history. The first was in 1317, when it was taken by the rebel supporters of the Earl of Lancaster. The second was in 1644, during the Battle of Marston Moor, one of the largest battles fought on English soil, which resulted in royalist control over northern England being lost. <\/p>

Walking around the ruins is free, but entering the interior remains requires a ticket. In summer, Caneyrsboro Castle, including the tower, is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 10\u202fAM to 4\u202fPM. In winter, only the Court House Museum is open on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10\u202fAM to 4\u202fPM. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As you wander among the castle ruins, you\u2019ll surely notice Caneyrsboro\u2019s most iconic view \u2013 the railway bridge crossing the River Nidd, with the old town perched on the far bank about 120 feet below you \ud83d\ude0d. <\/p>

Interestingly, the bridge you see today was rebuilt in 1851 after the original one collapsed. It dammed the river and raised the water level by 12 feet, and the lime in the mortar killed all the fish! \ud83d\udc1f <\/p>

Walk over to the war memorial on the castle grounds, where there\u2019s also a lovely view of the dam and the Mill Castle below. The mill was originally built in 1791 as a cotton mill and later converted to process local flax. <\/p>

Retrace a few steps and take the winding path down to the riverside walkway, known as Waterside \ud83c\udf3f. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the bottom of the stairs, turn right onto the riverside path, heading toward the bridge \ud83c\udf09. On your right, just before the bridge arch, you\u2019ll pass Old Dye House \u2013 the only remaining part of Caneyrsboro\u2019s oldest industrial building. <\/p>

After crossing the bridge, you\u2019ll notice the Old Manor House on your left, with its distinctive black-and-white timbered fa\u00e7ade. This Grade II listed building once served as a hunting lodge for King John. Interestingly, a 400-year-old mulberry tree in its garden still bears fruit every year, according to the blue plaque on the wall \ud83c\udf33. <\/p>

Almost opposite the Old Manor House, you\u2019ll find Manor Cottage with its thatched roof, which may be the oldest residential house in Caneyrsboro \ud83c\udfe1. <\/p>

That\u2019s already correctly translated and ready to use. Here it is again for easy copying:

St. John\u2019s Church is large and beautiful, Grade I listed, dating back to around 1100 \u23f3, with a spire resembling a \u201ccandle snuffer\u201d and an old clock face installed in 1884. Try to go inside if you can (unfortunately it was closed during our visit) to enjoy the architectural mix from the 12th to the 17th century \ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f. <\/p>

As you exit the church doors, make a sharp right to walk around the church directly along Church Lane. Take the second gate on your right (not the cemetery gate) to enter the grounds of Knaresborough House \ud83c\udf3f. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Enjoy the stunning views of Knaresborough House for a few moments \ud83c\udff0. Today it serves as an office building, and it\u2019s believed to have been built in 1768 by John Carr of York for the Collins family. Thomas Collins, a Knaresborough vicar, lived there, and after his death, Mrs. Evelyn Collins, a cousin of Winston Churchill, resided there.<\/p>

If you have kids, there\u2019s an outdoor play area at the bottom of the gate, perfect for them to have some fun for a short while \ud83c\udfcb\ufe0f\u200d\u2642\ufe0f.<\/p>

Walk out of the gate and continue uphill along the road, or pass by the outdoor play area and enter through the gate on your left.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the end of Church Lane, you\u2019ll see St John\u2019s House on your left, a beautiful and well-preserved Tudor home \ud83c\udfe0. It was once the residence of a senior priest appointed by York Minster as a reward for faithful service. Even a \u201cconf<\/p>

Across the road, you\u2019ll find Henshaw\u2019s Arts and Crafts Centre for the visually impaired, with a shop open Monday to Friday from 9\u202fam to 5\u202fpm, selling a wide range of handmade crafts such as jewelry, cards, homeware, and garden accessories \ud83c\udf3f. It\u2019s worth popping in if it\u2019s open, and there\u2019s also a caf\u00e9 \u2615.<\/p>

After leaving Henshaw\u2019s Arts and Crafts Centre, take the tree-lined path along the street through the park, passing between some wooden sculptures. Then turn left down a few stone steps to the road. You\u2019ll emerge right next to the public toilets, opposite the Ugly Duckling Tearoom.<\/p>

If you want to visit Mother Shipton\u2019s Cave \u2013 England\u2019s oldest visitor attraction \u2013 now is your chance. Keep in mind, it\u2019s sadly closed in winter \u2744\ufe0f.

The next stop on our Knaresborough walking tour is an out-and-back walk along the famous Abbey Road \ud83d\udeb6\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. To access this beautiful historic riverside route, continue to the end of Waterside, carefully cross the intersecting B6163, and take the road opposite. <\/p>

After about 100 meters on Abbey Road, look up high to your left, and you\u2019ll see a castle-like house carved into the rock \ud83c\udff0, built by a linen weaver between 1770 and 1791. This architectural gem was once a popular tourist attraction, but since 2000 it has been a private residence, so sadly you can only admire it from the outside. <\/p>

Just a few meters further, you\u2019ll find the Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag \u26ea, an early 15th-century chapel carved into the sandstone cliff of the river gorge by John the Mason in 1408, with special permission from King Henry IV. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This enchanting chapel is believed to have served as a wayside shrine for pilgrims walking between the town and the priory, as well as a place of prayer for men working in the nearby quarry \u2728. It\u2019s such a unique sight. <\/p>

Unfortunately, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag is only open for visits between 2\u202fpm and 4\u202fpm on Sundays (run by volunteers), which is a real shame \ud83d\ude14. Every time I\u2019ve been, I\u2019ve never had the chance to look inside! <\/p>

If you can, try to time your self-guided walking tour of Knaresborough for late Sunday morning, so you can visit the chapel after lunch \ud83d\udd51. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As you continue along Abbey Road, keep an eye out for a series of intriguing sculptures, hand-carved into tree stumps by chainsaw artist Tommy Craggs \ud83e\ude93. <\/p>

From the stunning kingfisher holding its lunch in its beak to a small dragon, the Knaresborough sculptures are creative and a joy to discover among the trees \u2013 no matter your age! \ud83d\udc26 <\/p>

Continue along Abbey Road for another mile (about 20 minutes) to reach St Robert\u2019s Cave, which is signposted off the road to your right. Enjoy the beautiful stone houses and orchards as you pass by them \ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udfe1. <\/p>

St Robert\u2019s Cave is a fascinating point of interest with an incredible story. Robert of Knaresborough spent much of his life as a hermit in this cave by the river, having been determined to pursue a religious life since childhood. The cave is an extremely rare surviving example of a medieval hermitage, even including a living area and seating benches \u26ea. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1252, Robert was recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church, and his cave and chapel became a popular pilgrimage site before the Reformation \u2728.<\/p>

Once you\u2019ve finished visiting St Robert\u2019s Cave and seen everything you wanted, head back the same way to your car, or return to the town center \ud83c\udfd9\ufe0f.<\/p>

If you\u2019re heading back into town, take the path to your right up the hill, called Crag Top. This is an alternative to walking back along the same road, offering beautiful views and revealing more carved sculptures and even some street art \ud83c\udfa8.<\/p>
