KNARESBOROUGH CASTLE

A 12th century Royal castle beautifully sited above the River Nidd. It is on a Saxon site that was rebuilt in the 14th century with a keep and eleven towers. Now only the keep, dating from 1310, and remains of the curtain wall and towers are left after severe slighting in the Civil War.

Open April - September, guided tours only.
