About

Knaresborough West ward covers the western half of this historic market town, stretching from the River Nunnery up towards the Farnham area. The terrain includes both the steep wooded slopes of the river gorge and more elevated residential streets. Key local landmarks within its boundaries include the ruins of St. Robert's Chapel, carved directly into the cliff face beside the river. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to modern estates, alongside several local schools and community sports facilities.

The ward's western edge is defined by the A59 Harrogate Road, a major route that connects it to the surrounding countryside. Land use here includes some light industrial units and larger retail outlets, contrasting with the older town centre just across the river. Public green spaces are found at Conyngham Hall Fields and along sections of the Nidd Gorge, providing walking routes. The local economy is supported by a range of independent shops and services clustered along key roads like Boroughbridge Road, serving the everyday needs of the ward's residents.
