Feature Locations by McCarthy’s moves into North Yorkshire looking at the historic and popular town of Knaresborough which is the equally as impressive neighbour to the spa town of Harrogate.
Moving to Knaresborough
Knaresborough has kept its values as a picturesque market town which has enhanced its appeal as a place to live. Knaresborough’s charm is unrivalled and the closure of the Co-operative supermarket means that there is no mainstream supermarket in the town centre. This means that around the Market Place is full of independent shops, pubs and restaurants which really adds to Knaresborough’s appeal. The St James retail park on the outskirts of the town provides access to some of the more mainstream high street chains.

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.
