Set in Lower Nidderdale, the site offers a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and the many attractions of the North of England. The park is surrounded by mature trees and hedges and on fine days it is sunny yet well sheltered. A near neighbour of Harrogate, Knaresborough is an historic market town with a town crier, ancient walkways, castle ruins (blame Cromwell!), cobbled alleys and secret passages leading to picturesque tea rooms, restaurants and traditional pubs. The central market place is home to the weekly Wednesday market still famous for its locally prepared lavender water. Summer activities include the annual Bed Race (June) and Knaresborough Festival (August). If you like Castles, Ripley is worth a visit. This area has it all - boating on the river Nidd, relaxing riverside walks, tennis and pitch n putt - all in all a family destination likely to prove a winner for Club members throughout the season.
