Knaresborough Castle, a bastion cherished by medieval monarchs, graces its surroundings with a stunning presence, commanding a view over the flowing waters of the River Nidd. The castle's historical trail first emerges in 1129, and subsequent refurbishment was undertaken by Edward I, with the project ultimately culminating under the guidance of Edward II between 1307 and 1312. This comprehensive endeavour included the erection of the magnificent Great Keep, often referred to as the King's Tower, a testament to the castle's regal legacy.
