What a beautiful place to visit. The Viaduct, the Weir, the Castle, and surrounding areas are full of history. Catch a train to York, again worth the visit. Only four stops on the train. People are very friendly and helpful. It's definitely a tourist attraction, worthy of a visit in this beautiful part of the world. I visited in January, and the Christmas decorations are still up. It's definitely stunning.

What a beautiful place Knaresborough is.. One of the main highlights is the famous Viaduct.. Stunning area for a walk.. Easy to get to the castle. I would recommend visiting Mother Shiptons Cave as well. We really enjoyed ourselves.. 😊 …

Superb location best views from the waterside, an easy walk down from the car park (pay & display) at the viaduct or down one of the paths from the town centre. Rowing boats available for hire & a selection of rather nice riverside cafes to relax & enjoy the view.
