Getting There and Away

The historic market town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire is easily accessible by road, rail or bus. The town is less than 5 miles from the A1 and is connected to national transport routes via regular trains from Leeds and York. A FREE Park and Ride service is available all weekend from the GSPK car park on Manse Lane (HG5 8LF) to Chapel Street next to the market square.
