Three years earlier, the original viaduct was almost nearing completion when it collapsed and completely damned the river.
Knaresborough is the legendary 15th century birthplace of Mother Shipton, the famous witch and prophetess. The wooded riverside estate also includes the Petrifying Well where objects are turned to stone and the Wishing Well situated behind it which is fed by the same magical waters as the Petrifying Well and which has been wished in since 1630 when the park was opened.
