...as seen from the River Nidd. Knaresborough Castle is situated at the top of a large cliff, with a commanding view of the river and local forest. For most of its history, Knaresborough Castle has been in royal control, and it has retained this long tradition to the present day. It is now in the possession of the Crown, as part of the Queen's inheritance of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Like all castles, Knaresborough served as a focus for the surrounding community: a refuge in times of danger and a centre for government and judicial administration. Long after the castle's military significance had diminished, it continued to function as a centre for justice.
