About

Knaresborough North encompasses the historic town centre perched above the River Nidd, characterised by its steep, winding streets and the viaduct carrying the Harrogate to York railway line. The area includes the grounds of the ruined 14th-century castle, which provide views over the river gorge. Local commerce is focused along the High Street and Market Place, with independent shops and traditional pubs housed in centuries-old buildings.

A defining feature is the system of riverside paths leading to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag and the petrifying well at Mother Shipton's Cave, where the mineral-rich waters coat objects in stone. The area's geography is dominated by the wooded slopes of the gorge and the weir on the river, with boating available from the waterside marinas below the town.
