Market Place & Castle Courtyard

Knaresborough's historic Market Place is still central to life in the town, just as it has been for over 700 years. Once you have explored all the market has to offer, why not continue browsing the many independent shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries which surround the market square, including those in the Castle Courtyard complex.
