Description

Knaresborough Castle

Perched high on a cliff, overlooking the beautiful valley of the River Nidd, stand the stark ruins of the once important castle of Knaresborough. Its early origins are uncertain, but the first recorded reference to a castle at Knaresborough can be found in the pipe rolls of 1129-30. It is known also that Hugh de Moreville and his accomplices took refuge in Knaresborough Castle in 1170, after they had murdered Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.
