In the town itself we came upon the town crier relaying his news about the activities of various societies in the town:-

At the bottom of a hill where we were looking for an antique and second hand bookshop there was this bridge over the Nidd:-

The building to the left behind it is the Mother Shipton Inn. We didn’t bother visiting Mother Shipton’s Cave as it’s not really our thing:-

Knaresborough Viaduct and River Nidd Weir, Knaresborough
