Knaresborough is my kind of place, rich in history, cobbled streets and beautiful scenery. Another great video! Thanks

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Our pleasure!

[@christianemeriaux148]

Great to see Knaresborough again, the place where I spent a year as French assistant at King James’ s School in 1967- 1968. I had a wonderful time . I wonder if the folk club ,close to the railway station , still exists. It was simply marvellous! Thanks so much for the walk! Christiane.

[@alanmoss3479]

I remember the folk club in the back of the borough Bailiff on the high street just up from the Railway Station around 1977-1978 the english teachers from King James School were involeved, Henry Ayrton, ( Great bloke) and another that escapes me now

[@christianemeriaux148]

@@alanmoss3479 Dear Alan , it would have been lovely to meet you and sing along with you at Knaresborough folk club.Had I been ten years younger, it would have been possible ! Keep fine ! All the best! Christiane.

I'm from the States and spent one night in Knaresborough this past October,I stayed at The Mitre Inn and was up by the castle, but spent most of my time by the riverside, and behind The Mitre. I'm happy to have seen some of the upper town as I didn't venture up there. I'll have to return some day and explore it in more detail. Staying at the Mitre was great for catching the train in the morning, took about 15 seconds from the hotel to the platform ! Also have to comment on leaving the sound track natural instead of having music, I love to hear the sounds of the people, cars , birds, it makes you feel like you are walking the streets yourself, thanks !

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you Daniel! Your trip sounds like perfection. I’ve not been In The Mitre yet but will do after reading your post

I am so lucky since my son now lives there so I get free B&B! It is a beautiful little town. No one seems to know why some of the buildings are painted in black and white squares. I even asked the town Crier in the Pub next to the station one day, even he didn't know!

My first visit to this beautiful town was on Thursday 20th Jan 2022 Absolutely fell in love with the place. Had lunch in Scarletts Vintage Tea Rooms, such a treat. And yes, definitely would love to live there 😁

I was in the market town a couple of years ago. It is a stunning and amazing market town. Thanks for showing us around the market town and seeing bits I was unable to visit due to restricted mobility issues. It was great to see part I couldn’t manage to say thank you so much for your lovely walk around the market down

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paulwilson3083]

Thank you for a detailed walk in a short time, I'm sure you will be back to see Mother Shiptons cave and the old houses cut into the cliff face, for the railway enthusiast the signal box was built onto the end of a house in the same style, yes it's a great place steeped in history and thank you again for your efforts to film it.

Thank you so much Paul! I'll definitely be back in the summer!

[@S0MBRX]

i swam up and down the river in knaresborough last year ;p

[@barcyorky]

Thank you! I grew up in York and often had days out in Knaresborough with my Grandparents. We did lots of walking. There used to be a small Zoo in town back then and we always finished good weather days at the castle, enjoying the views, a flask of tea and if we were really lucky; a bag of hot chips!

[@PK-yf3hd]

The owner of the private zoo was a very colourful character called Nik Nioka (spelling probably innacurate)who had great experience of working with animals but in an over casual way which brought him into official scrutiny and eventual closure..I recall he was collecting the entrance money from us. Very much hands on! He clearly loved his charges and knew their ways though I heard anacdotally that some of the more slippery ones had been on the point of leaving for a night on the town before being detained and returned to their enclosed life. I definitely recall the photo in the evening paper of him wreathed at the neck with a python or constrictor of uncertain intent. He must have been more circus than zoo...more Amazon than west yorks.

[@samstockbridge3989]

I'd love to live there again. I lived there 1994 to 1999 before returning to New Zealand

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Nice!! How’s New Zealand though?

[@lsmith992]

A few years back there was a steam train on a regular summer excursion from Leeds via Harrogate and Knaresborough to Scarborough and back again. There was always a crowd to see the train and this bridge with a steam train I'm sure you can imagine that.

[@Dashcam_Drivers_Switzerland]

Fab isn't it! I"ll do another one this summer when it's warmer and more people are out and about!

[@roycarpenter6380]

Great idea to do the fascinating inland market and industrial towns in the winter to see how they have developed as tourist attractions from their origins. Mother Shipton's cave is worth a visit to see the variety of objects hanging there in various stages of fossilisation. You can leave the wonders of Withernsea and the coast until it iis FWT weather again !!

[@gimbalair]

We were there in October, I was so disappointed the town looked a dump. I will now revisit and follow your footsteps and it looks a different place entirely to that which I experienced.

Ha ha yes!! You should! Lots of little adventures to be had!

[@dlittlester]

I've been waiting for this. Thanks! My first time there, I stayed for a week. The next year on my holiday I stayed for two. I love that town. I was supposed to go back last year as a kind of birthday present to myself, but the Covid got in the way. As it is, I don't know when I can come back. Another interesting place and story is St Robert's Cave, along Abbey Road. A bit of a walk though. Did you know that the four knights who murdered Thomas Becket fled to Knaresborough Castle for refuge? The history in that town is amazing. When I go, it's always September. The weather is nice, most of the tourists are gone, the kids are back in school, and hotel rates are lower. I feel so at home in that town, I think I could live there, but only for the warmer weather seasons. From the west coast of Canada here.

[@barbaradaniel7674]

I remember visiting Knaresborough some years ago , there is a famous school there, it was by some shops i remember a very large chandlers shop that sold nearly everything under the sun, it was in a type of square, I didn't see it on your walk, that is all I remember about it, I was only there for a flying visit. Barbara from Liverpool.
