WALKING
River Nidd Waterside walk
The Nidd riverside in the centre of Knaresborough is extremely photogenic for the high banks of the gorge and dense vegetation. You can easily walk the length of the town centre’s riverside, from Mother Shipton’s Cave down to Our Lady of the Crag.
The latter is a sweet early-15th-century chapel excavated from the sandstone. A constant presence along the route will be Knaresborough’s Victorian viaduct leaping across the gorge. In summer you can hire a rowboat to float down under the viaduct and see it from a new angle.
Knaresborough Round walk
The Knaresborough Round is a well-established circular route passing through the Nidd Gorge and a succession of villages which surround the historic town.
