- Knaresborough Yorkshire England. Here is our full tour of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire from Mother Shiptons statue to Knaresborough Castle and down to the riverside and back up to Knaresborough Town Centre!
We have had so many requests from our subscribers to film Knaresborough so we grabbed our cameras and set off to this fantastic place to have a wander round to see what's there, check out the castle and the viaduct and the town centre including all the shops and railway station and more!

Knaresborough is my kind of place, rich in history, cobbled streets and beautiful scenery.
Another great video!
Thanks
Our pleasure!
Great to see Knaresborough again, the place where I spent a year as French assistant at King James’ s School in 1967- 1968. I had a wonderful time . I wonder if the folk club ,close to the railway station , still exists. It was simply marvellous! Thanks so much for the walk! Christiane.
I remember the folk club in the back of the borough Bailiff on the high street just up from the Railway Station around 1977-1978 the english teachers from King James School were involeved, Henry Ayrton, ( Great bloke) and another that escapes me now
@@alanmoss3479 Dear Alan , it would have been lovely to meet you and sing along with you at Knaresborough folk club.Had I been ten years younger, it would have been possible ! Keep fine ! All the best! Christiane.
I'm from the States and spent one night in Knaresborough this past October,I stayed at The Mitre Inn and was up by the castle, but spent most of my time by the riverside, and behind The Mitre. I'm happy to have seen some of the upper town as I didn't venture up there. I'll have to return some day and explore it in more detail. Staying at the Mitre was great for catching the train in the morning, took about 15 seconds from the hotel to the platform ! Also have to comment on leaving the sound track natural instead of having music, I love to hear the sounds of the people, cars , birds, it makes you feel like you are walking the streets yourself, thanks !
Thank you Daniel!
Your trip sounds like perfection. I’ve not been In The Mitre yet but will do after reading your post
Also the car alarm going off😂
Brilliant, thanks for the tour, we are now in our 80s so you do what we did in years gone by.
It's such a historic town with its stunning bridge and medieval streets. Great choice for a visit!
It really is!
Great Places you have done great footage Thanks so much .
Knaresborough. Harrogate Skipton .🌟👍.
Been to Knaresborough on a number if occasions. Sat in the Castle grounds overlooking the River many times whilst listening to the cricket Great Times and Harrogate just down the road . Another lovely place
Couldn't agree more!
What an amazing place so quiet ,loved hearing the birds in the background thank you for filming this.
+ car alarm😅
Love to go up to North Yorks from polluted leeds fantastic to get the lungs working in the great outdoors
It sure is!
What a cracking video really enjoyed it can’t wait for the next so keep on walking 😃🚶🏻thanks.
Thanks 👍
Great History in the town Lovely Railway station and Viaduct but live there! No thanks too many hills and cars.
Definitely too many hills 🤣
I am so lucky since my son now lives there so I get free B&B! It is a beautiful little town. No one seems to know why some of the buildings are painted in black and white squares. I even asked the town Crier in the Pub next to the station one day, even he didn't know!
As a financial centre, Knaresborough is very diverse and rich in history
i swam up and down the river in knaresborough last year ;p
A few years back there was a steam train on a regular summer excursion from Leeds via Harrogate and Knaresborough to Scarborough and back again. There was always a crowd to see the train and this bridge with a steam train I'm sure you can imagine that.
I really enjoyed watching your video, I've been to Knaresborough a few times and always looked forward returning there.
Thank you!
I'd love to live there again. I lived there 1994 to 1999 before returning to New Zealand
Nice!!
How’s New Zealand though?
My first visit to this beautiful town was on Thursday 20th Jan 2022 Absolutely fell in love with the place.
Had lunch in Scarletts Vintage Tea Rooms, such a treat. And yes, definitely would love to live there 😁
I was in the market town a couple of years ago. It is a stunning and amazing market town. Thanks for showing us around the market town and seeing bits I was unable to visit due to restricted mobility issues. It was great to see part I couldn’t manage to say thank you so much for your lovely walk around the market down
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely love knaresbourough .... living in Australia now and enjoying this video while in covid iso!
Ah no! Hope you’re better soon!
Thank you for a detailed walk in a short time, I'm sure you will be back to see Mother Shiptons cave and the old houses cut into the cliff face, for the railway enthusiast the signal box was built onto the end of a house in the same style, yes it's a great place steeped in history and thank you again for your efforts to film it.
Thank you so much Paul!
I'll definitely be back in the summer!
Thanks for showing around us Knaresborough. It is a stunning town and steep in history. I was there a couple of years ago and I enjoyed looking around there quite old market town steep in history. Thanks for showing us around Knaresborough and the bits I enjoyed where I was unable to go due to mobility issues
Our pleasure!
Thank you! I grew up in York and often had days out in Knaresborough with my Grandparents. We did lots of walking. There used to be a small Zoo in town back then and we always finished good weather days at the castle, enjoying the views, a flask of tea and if we were really lucky; a bag of hot chips!
The owner of the private zoo was a very colourful character called Nik Nioka (spelling probably innacurate)who had great experience of working with animals but in an over casual way which brought him into official scrutiny and eventual closure..I recall he was collecting the entrance money from us. Very much hands on! He clearly loved his charges and knew their ways though I heard anacdotally that some of the more slippery ones had been on the point of leaving for a night on the town before being detained and returned to their enclosed life. I definitely recall the photo in the evening paper of him wreathed at the neck with a python or constrictor of uncertain intent. He must have been more circus than zoo...more Amazon than west yorks.
I love English history…and I’m from Switzerland 🤣😁
How huge this castle must be in his time! We love to visit Castles and Gardens when we are in England. Do you know Arundel Castle? Amazing!
Sorry, don’t and want use FB
Lovely area. Waterfront very interesting even though the water is quite brown. Interesting information. Lovely area where the waterfall is located. ThNks
Great video, not nearly long enough. Video quality was superb and the weather waa brilliant too. I can only imagine sunsets in spring or summer over that viaduct.
My first one there - I'll be back when the weather picks up for sure
What a beautiful place! I love Yorkshire and have visited York many times but not here, it is now on my to do list..many thanks for highlighting it. I think it would be a great place to stay for a few days to get some peace but still visit the surrounding busy places like York.
Yeah Knaresborough is definitely a place I’d love to live!! Because I do 😂
🤣
How lovely! I love Knaresborough! I’d definitely like to live here 🤩⭐️ so peaceful and beautiful!
Such a lovely place!
Not peaceful in the holiday season!!!
Been there 2 years ago. Absolutely stunning place full of history. Like a picture postcard. It was only an hour and a half I got whilst on a bus tour. Where we stayed in York. You need a full week to see everything
Ah a great place to record a video, and what a video it was! (From a current resident) 😉
Yes it was!
Thank you for sharing this video it's a long time since I visited Knasbrough looks lovely
Thanks for watching!
Lovely video, lovely town thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you too
Bro this is amazing Knaresborough us an amazing town my mate lives there and told me I should search up a video like this
Thank you so much 👊
@@GimbalWalkTV no problem
i would love to fish near that weir it looks great i did go there once when i was a kid but do not remember much we went on a school trip to the caves but that is all i remember
Glad to see the scarf that was there on Tuesday last was still round Mother Shipton to keep her warm! Lol. Great to see my fave town on CZcams ! Yes love visiting castles and any historic buildings.
People who live here must be the fittest so many hills! Thanks so much for your great walks!! 🙏🥰
Thanks Kirsty - was fun this one but very tiring!
@@GimbalWalkTV I bet! 😂
I'm looking forward to my visit in July thanks for info ☺️
We were there in October, I was so disappointed the town looked a dump. I will now revisit and follow your footsteps and it looks a different place entirely to that which I experienced.
I think it will be better in summer too
Awesome
❤️❤️❤️
I love here😃😃😃
❤️❤️
Thank you for this. I have lived here for 40 years and I have just seen parts of the town that I have not seen before. Love living here. Fabulous town.
With living nearby love coming here for a walk around town for a few hours great all year round. Although for views from the castle area you can't beat the autumn colours of all the trees
Another great & fantastic video of KNARESBOROUGH!.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Michael!
Thank you for this lovely video of my beautiful home town. I've done this walk many times and it never gets old.
Our pleasure! What a lovely place!
I'll be back in summer when it's warmer!
Well, I thank you muchly Mr Walk, or may I call you Gimbal ?? 🤔
I have never been to this town and it certainly is very nice indeed! Your boots were made for walking but were not nearly as loud as that car alarm !! 😀
The viaduct is beautiful and the reflection superb, the river was so calm! I enjoyed all of it, the castle, river, shops, churches and oh, the steps - glad it was you and not me ha ha !! 💯✔💟🙂🤩
Thanks again.
I'd been there in mid-July,2021 during a side tour of Harrogate, but so hurry that your movie does helping me refreshing the memory. Thanks.
What a beautiful place the views from the castle are fantastic never been definitely got to go this year thanks Neil for this video
Fab isn't it!
I"ll do another one this summer when it's warmer and more people are out and about!
Thank you for this detailed walk tour. Since I have not been to England I appreciate you videotaping the various towns and villages. 👌🎉🙂
You're welcome! Thanks for your support Irene it really does mean a lot!
Great idea to do the fascinating inland market and industrial towns in the winter to see how they have developed as tourist attractions from their origins.
Mother Shipton's cave is worth a visit to see the variety of objects hanging there in various stages of fossilisation.
You can leave the wonders of Withernsea and the coast until it iis FWT weather again !!
I love Knaresborough it is a bigger town than I thought, you did a great job of the video ..
Thank you! That means a lot. Lovely place!
Great walk, wonderful looking town.
Castles are great to visit, they are normaly on a hill beside a river so brilliant views guaranteed.
Thank you.
Yes they are!
Thanks for a beautiful video. Actually, pretty balmy there...I'm in Toronto and it's -20C today!
Crikey!! Wrap up warm then!!
I was brought up here
You've really made me think about slowing down and looking up as well as investigating little alleyways since I've been watching your videos.😄
Ha ha yes!! You should! Lots of little adventures to be had!
Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to visit Knaresborough. It seems to be a quiet but pleasant town. With a seaside it's always a bonus for me! I really enjoyed the walk with you thanks for inviting me once again! Take care! :)
Thank you - you too!
Still amazed by your patience to record and walk long distances. Your videos are a nice reference for artists :D
Thank you so much!
My home town
I've been waiting for this. Thanks! My first time there, I stayed for a week. The next year on my holiday I stayed for two. I love that town. I was supposed to go back last year as a kind of birthday present to myself, but the Covid got in the way. As it is, I don't know when I can come back. Another interesting place and story is St Robert's Cave, along Abbey Road. A bit of a walk though.
Did you know that the four knights who murdered Thomas Becket fled to Knaresborough Castle for refuge? The history in that town is amazing. When I go, it's always September. The weather is nice, most of the tourists are gone, the kids are back in school, and hotel rates are lower. I feel so at home in that town, I think I could live there, but only for the warmer weather seasons.
From the west coast of Canada here.
I went over this bridge on the train to York a few weeks ago . Absolutely stunning view . Must go back with the camera next time .
You should!
I remember visiting Knaresborough some years ago , there is a famous school there, it was by some shops i remember a very large chandlers shop that sold nearly everything under the sun, it was in a type of square, I didn't see it on your walk, that is all I remember about it, I was only there for a flying visit. Barbara from Liverpool.
Oh didn't know that! I wonder whereabouts that is!
It was in the market Square behind blind jack's statue!
On the shot of the "Art in the Mill" plaque, hang a bit longer for time to read plus.. Otherwise superb production of Knaresborough and overall.
I will admit, I had slightly wet eyes, as I lived here for 5 years until 3 years ago, and we moved to "boring (my words) Sleaford in Lincs. Wish I was still there or in Durham, the place where I was born and raised (as well as Warkworth in Nothumberland)
Lovely isn't it!
Are you still in Sleaford? I've not been there
@@GimbalWalkTV I have retired here. Its a quaint market town, but has the same problems other small towns suffer from, namely empty shops and an abundance of hairdressers/barbers/beauty shops and of course... charity shops😄
Hi
Wonderful youtube channel.
How incredible it is just let us watch your lovely walks. I am surrender.
May i suggest that subtitles could be just a bit less oversized and position at the bottom, for a more immersive walk.
Hugs
Carlos m.
I always think of Rivendale in Lord of the Rings when walking along the river under the viaduct.
This is now on our list have you been to corfe Castle and village in dorset I think that's what it's called. I'm sure you would like it there
👍👍
Absolutely beautiful sites could you film Kirkstall Abbey please 🙏
Definitely! watch this space - wil film it soon as I can
If you'd started filming an hour or so later when the sun was higher, the classic view looking down to the viaduct would have been much better. Living locally, I've been there many times and the timing is so important to get that perfect view.
Ah didn’t know! I could have gone for a cuppa then filmed!
I will remember this for when I go back in summer thank you!
Though a lower sun angle provides for better depth of field. We also live locally (Ripon) and feel that Knaresborough was beautifully portrayed.
Appreciate you doing this Knaresborough walk round, always wanted to visit the town and after watching your walkaround we'l be there sometime in 2022, do you know where you started your walk from? Thanks 😊
It was just outside the bus station
@@emmajanewatts4388 Thank you 😊
@@markweatherall7437 you’re very welcome
Thanks for sharing this, will you be doing one of Paignton at all?
I've done one (it's on my channel) but I need to go back and do a newer one!
Great Video can you do Harrogate some time please ?
Did you run up from the train station bor just fast forward lol
Fast forward - otherwise you'd be able to hear me suffering up that hill ha ha!!!
I live here
can anybody tell me where the best spots to go fishing are on the river
Not sure personally hopefully someone will know
Park on the cuningham hall car park and walk up stream to the wooden bridge
I discovered your channel yesterday. I’m loving the vibe of it. It’s like im really there. There is one thing however I don’t understand, why are Brit’s so obsessed with America? Its not that great and the uk has so much more interesting history. Also I’m Canadian and our country is better than America any day. 🇨🇦
Hiya!
Thanks for the message and hope you're safe and well
re America - I think it's simply that it features in more TV / Movies over the last 50 years that we see so it gets glamourised a lot!
@@GimbalWalkTV I’ve really been enjoying your videos. They are so immersive. I feel as though I’m there with you. They are relaxing like ASMR.
Car alarm goes off right outside the police station, talk about timing. Nice video all the same
This is
❤️
Freezing? Obviously, you have not been in Canada's North! How does minus 55C sound.
Regardless, what a tremendously beautiful place. I hope to go there when all this Covid nonsense is behind us. Thanks to all healthcare providers around the globe.
Cheers!
Ha ha yes I’m not so sure I could cope with Canada temperatures William!
Can you pause on blue plaques so we can read it all
I usually do yeah
Why don't king John's visit here and his being sharply rebuked by Robert,the famed holy hermit who lived in a hillside cave ever get a mention in visits here.?also that this was the refuge of those 3 knights after killing st.thomas a Becket..and the quaint cave -chapel in the hillside where mass is celebrated monthly
the dye industry was very smelly and the people doing the dying used to sweat purple from the process in making the dye from woad it seeped from the pours of the skin and it made the people turn purple
Wow thats incredible! Never knew that
Horrific stuff really when you think about it eh?
@@GimbalWalkTV yes queen elizabeth 1st hated them because of the smell from the process of dying and banned them from the city to the outskirts of a five mile radius. so it was a horrific job because no one would go near them an then being purple all the time did not help
