Why move to Knaresborough
Knaresborough is a quintessential Yorkshire market and spa town, located on the river Nidd about four miles east of Harrogate. Known mostly as a commuter town it shares excellent railway links to most Yorkshire cities — 10 minutes to Harrogate, 30 minutes to York and 45 minutes to Leeds.
However, to suggest it is just a place to rest your head would be to do this great town a serious injustice. From critically acclaimed gastro pubs serving the finest ale and pies to vintage tea shops, Knaresborough has boutique eateries in abundance. With plenty of crags and valleys and the Yorkshire dales only a short drive away there are no shortage of places of natural wonder to explore.
The town centre is perched on the cliffs and offers picturesque views of the imposing railway viaduct across the Nidd Gorge. Across the river is a famous thermal spring with such high mineral levels that its dripping waters literally turn dangling objects to stone.
Property prices are affordable too for the luxury of countryside living with plenty of different options ranging from period properties, vintage cottages to pleasant suburb developments. There are also plenty of excellent choices for sending your kids to school with Aspin park recently declared ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
