North Yorkshire walk: Knaresborough circular
Walk downhill from Knaresborough station. Fork right past pillared gates to pass church and down walled lane called The Parsonage. At main road turn left and almost immediately left down Waterside. .At end of Waterside cross over road close to river bridge and continue ahead down Abbey Rd to pass beneath House in the Rock.Visit St Robert’s Cave, a short drop down steps signed to right. At end of Abbey Rd turn left and first left down Farfield Rd then right down Grimbald Rd, soon bearing left.
The riverside section of the route ends soon after St Robert's Cave, the former 12th century dwelling of a saint and hermit, tucked away at the bottom of steps. Robert built a reputation for herbal cures and as a friend of the poor. In the mid-18th century a schoolmaster buried the body of his murdered lover here.
End with the grand finale of a visit to the 12th century Knaresborough Castle perched way above the river and with a picture postcard view down to the viaduct.The Farm Dairy, Knaresborough. A proper deli with big bowls of olives and patés. I always get a goat’s cheese bruschetta if I’m passing at lunchtime and the spinach, chickpea, feta and sweet potato roll is similarly recommended. facebook.com/farmdairyknaresborough.
