In the grounds of Knaresborough Castle there is a board containing information about the gorge the River Nidd runs through:-

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:-

Views from the bridge:-


The antique shop and bookshop was behind where the first photo in this post was taken:-

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:-

And this from further on:-

A train moved across the viaduct while we were there:-

This is the road bridge over the Nidd taken from between the pillars of the viaduct:-

Knaresborough’s War Memorial is a stone cross surmounting a square pillar on a wider square plinth. It stands in the grounds of Knaresborough Castle on a bluff overlooking the River Nidd.
The Memorial is at the opposite corner of the grassed rectangle here:-
