If you haven't visited Knaresborough before you're in for a treat. Read what travel writer Tom Dyckhoff Guardian correspondent wrote after his first visit :-

"In case you thought lovely towns with pretty period homes tumbling down a wooded hill, capped with a ruined castle, and splendid borders where brass bands play, didn't exist any more. They do. Welcome to Knaresborough!"
