Knaresborough Castle and Knaresborough War Memorial both lie on a bluff above the River Nidd.

This was taken from directly beside the War Memorial:-

And this took in a wider angle in order to show the viaduct:-

Almost directly below the War Memorial there is a weir:-

Of which I took this video:-

This is a view of the viaduct I took from river level near the weir:-

The Memorial is at the opposite corner of the grassed rectangle here:-
