Knaresborough Viaduct is a viaduct in the North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough, England. The viaduct carries the Harrogate line over the River Nidd in the town. The viaduct was supposed to have opened in 1848, but the first construction collapsed into the river very near to completion, which necessitated a new viaduct and delayed the opening of the line through Knaresborough by three years.

From this bridge in Knaresborough you get wonderful views of the town, river and viaduct.

Grade I listed building. The surviving fifteenth-century structures formed part of a fortified medieval palace belonging to the Archbishops of York, which was dismantled in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The only remaining parts of the castle are the gatehouse and the banqueting hall. Stones from the destroyed castle were used in the construction of surrounding houses. The foundations of some other structures do remain as well as the castle's cellar, which was excavated in the 19th century. The gatehouse served as a courthouse until the 1930s, before being used as an officers' mess and a building for the Home Guard during World War II. The first fortifications on this site are believed to be those built by King Athelstan in the 10th Century.

Grade II listed swing bridge opened in 1872. The deck was submerged when the River Ouse flooded in 2015.

The sidings used to be quite extensive - see https://www.escrickheritage.org/escrick-railway-station-and-sidings/ for old black and white photos. Escrick Station was opened on 2 January 1871 by the North Eastern Railway. It closed to passengers on 8 June 1953 and closed to goods traffic in 1961. The line was closed in October 1983, with all trains diverted onto the new section of the East Coast Main Line between Temple Hirst Junction and Colton Junction (Selby Diversion).
