Knaresborough is an old and historic market town and spa town neighbouring Harrogate Spa, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the River Nidd, the town is a popular tourist destination owing to its convenient location and picturesque townscape in the rolling Nidd Valley. Some of the principal areas of public interest space in the town are the Knaresborough Castle and grounds, which host the Courthouse Museum; Mother Shipton's petrifying well; The House in the Rock; and several cave dwellings. One of the dwellings is a chapel, dating from the Middle Ages. Knaresborough is also the site of Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe in England, which opened in 1720.
Events
Annual "Knaresborough Bed Race". Each summer, locals and visitors to the area (including several celebrities), form a team of six runners who pull a single passenger on a bed, firstly in a parade through the town and then in a race that climaxes when the teams must cross the River Nidd.
Knaresborough also hosts a Fun Run fund raiser every May — a with 2.5 mile course around the town and a 10K route, which includes the surrounding the villages.
FEVA (Festival of Entertainment and Visual Arts), has also been running since 2001 and takes place each summer in various locations around the town centre.
