Half-day tour of towns around Leeds!

The charming town of Knaresborough is about 40 minutes' drive from the center of Leeds. It is a picturesque town perfect for a relaxing half-day trip. It is recommended to go to the riverside restaurant in the town to enjoy a hearty brunch, eat Benedict eggs or classic English breakfast, and start a good day with coffee. After dinner, go to the riverside below Knaresborough Castle, rent a rowing boat (about £8-10 per person), and leisurely explore the scenery of the River Nidd. You can also admire the towering railway bridge and fairy-tale houses on the river bank as you go downstream. After boating, you can stroll to the castle ruins or St. Robert’s Cave to overlook the town. Don’t forget to take a photo by the river from a classic postcard angle! It is recommended to pay in cash for boating, which is open from spring to autumn. If you have enough time, you can visit the hot springs in Harrogate before returning. A simple and fulfilling half-day tour, suitable for those who want to escape from the city for a short time. Remember, it’s best to go when the weather is good so that you can take good pictures! #leedstrip #knaresborough
