Knaresborough is one of the most loved areas for tourism in Yorkshire and the north of England. The view over the River Nidd from Knaresborough castle is one of the admired in the country and the rentable rowing boats provide a chance to be a part of the this scenic landscape. The castle itself is full of history and attracts a lot of visitors.

One of the most well-known landmarks however is Mother Shipton’s Cave which is the site of myth, legend as well as natural wonder. The story of Mother Shipton attracts many visitors each year as does the Petrifying Well on the same grounds which first opened to public in 1630. If an object is placed into the well and left for a period of time then the object develops a stony exterior.
