I’ve been to Knaresborough a few times, but the last time I visited, it
was autumn, and so the mist (although it created a lovely eerie atmosphere)
stopped me from photographing the viaduct and the view from the castle. This
time it was a cold crisp day, so I managed to capture the area in the sun; a
train was going across the viaduct, and a little cat decided he wanted to be
included in my photos!
We walked down the steps by the castle, along by
the River Nidd and had a lovely lunch at The Ugly Duckling before heading back
through the park to the town centre.
Knaresborough Castle was built around 1100 and looks down over the river
Nidd; it was still in use until 1648. It also overlooks Knaresborough Viaduct, completed in 1851 after collapsing 3 years earlier.
