We have been having an excellent spell of weather over the last week or so, and last saturday evening i made it to a rather calm and picturesque Knaresborough. Home town of Steve, its most famous for Mother Shipton , the "Yorkshire witch", born here in a cave during a storm in 1488. Visitors to the cave can see the "petrifying well" which turns objects left in the water into stone due to high calcium deposits. It is also home to Englands oldest chemist, opened in 1720. The picture shows rowing boats laid up for the night on the River Nidd, responisble for forming a deep gorge through the area.
