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.

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!
