Thirty-seven years living in Yorkshire and this was my first visit to Knaresborough!
Yorkshire’s most famous resident, Mother Shipton…
…and the cave where she reputedly was born.
My very own soothsayer, sheltering from the incessant rain
Nearby is a petrifying well where celebrities have donated belongings. Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley’s Catherine Cawood) gave a pair of stilettos from her role as Raquel in Coronation Street.
Looking up we spot the old castle
We found a lovely café for a spot of lunch. That’s Maddie with us, no photos of Steve & Joanne!
To the castle, practically all in ruins now…
…but with an excellent (if somewhat misty) view of the town down in the valley.
The old courthouse within the castle walls, now a museum
The courtroom…
…and an artist’s impression of ‘the good old days’.
Later Maddie & Tine pose at our favourite Bingley curry house.
