There is much to see at Knaresborough Castle, a stronghold of Medieval Kings. Explore the castle to discover the history of the Keep, dungeon and mysterious underground sallyport. Visit the Courthouse Museum to discover an original Tudor courtroom and get a fascinating insight into Knaresborough’s royal and infamous residents as well as the political intrigues of the day. Enjoy our acclaimed ‘Life in a Castle’ hands-on exhibition including medieval costumes to try on (for adults too!) as well as discovery boxes and a Castle trail. And don’t forget to take in the view overlooking the picturesque town and River Nidd.
