St Robert's Chapel, Knaresborough This is the remains of a cave between the riverside lane and the River Nidd. St Robert was the son of a mayor of York, and was born c.1160 and died in 1218. He spent most of his life as a hermit in the cave, most of which has been eroded and washed away by the river. What remains are the access steps, altar and stone bed - too small for him to be able to lie straight.

The Dropping Well and Mother Shipton's Cave I was amazed to find that this grid square for Knaresborough didn't have a picture of The Dropping Well and Mother Shipton's Cave, so here it is. The Dropping Well in the foreground calcifies objects left hanging underneath the water dripping down the cliff. Plenty of teddy bears have been turned to stone, and various hats. In the background is the entrance to Mother Shipton's cave - she was reputed to be a prophetess 500 years ago.
