Knaresborough is a spa town on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, overlooking the river Nidd. Its location makes it ideal as a base for touring the countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy walks by the river, cycling, climbing, fishing, boating or just sitting and taking in the atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The town centre has many interesting shops and galleries, and there is a colourful and lively market held on Wednesdays. The fascinating, historic Cathedral cities of Ripon and York are close by, plus the Spa town of Harrogate.
