York goes wireless

Front drive and back garden views of what we are about to lose. 

Knaresborough 5

A surprising find on the riverside walk: a thatched cottage. Although this walk does follow the river, it is built up for about 500 metres, so the Nidd is out of sight at this point. 

Knaresborough 4

Back down to the riverside walk for a shot with a Mediterranean look and evidence that even in the worst summer for 100 years, there were some gloriously warm, sunny days.

Knaresborough 3

The town features several tromp l'œils, some purely decorative and others with historical references, most of which I have not researched.

Knaresborough 2

The riverside walk showing the steepness of the gradient and an example of the black and white checks that are a feature of exterior decoration here in Knaresborough.

Knaresborough railway viaduct

At 12 miles from York and very near Harrogate, the quaint town of Knaresborough is a popular place to stroll around, with a good choice of cafés and the possibility of rowing on the River Nidd. 

What goes up …

Soon to be no more, dismantling of the pylons on the Derwent Valley Railway Sustrans cycle path has begun. This is of particular interest to us, as the example in the photo is just 100 metres from our house.
