From the Market Place, turn right down Kirkgate between Six Poor Folk bar and Appleton's butchers (if you can resist stopping for one of their delicious pies on your way past)! Stop off to view the hand crafted ceramics at Jamali Annay and Northern Line Arts or high quality goods at Chris Holmes Antiques.

Knaresborough Railway Station

Continue down to Knaresborough's grade II listed period Railway Station, home to the excellent Old Ticket Office Cafe (famed for Amy's delicious homemade cakes), Northern Line Antiques and the Track and Sleeper Yorkshire Craft Ales pub. Cross over or under the tracks to reach the town's historic parish church and Christmas Tree Festival.
