Knaresborough is a place steeped in history. With castles, cliffs and caves, it’s textbook Yorkshire heritage. But it’s the River Nidd’s story that flows through it all. John Craven explores the history shaped by the river before meeting those who care for it today. John also dips into the archives to see how water has shaped other parts of the Yorkshire landscape.
