Knaresborough Worktop Information

Knaresborough is a market town on the River Nidd in North Yorkshire, 3 miles east of Harrogate and 16 miles north-west of York. The HG5 postcode covers the town across five sectors, with the main residential and commercial streets in HG5 0 and HG5 8, and the surrounding rural parishes of Scotton, Staveley, Goldsborough, and Plompton in HG5 9. The town climbs dramatically above the Nidd gorge and the railway viaduct is one of the most distinctive features of the landscape. The housing stock in the town itself spans Georgian and Victorian properties on the upper streets near the market place, Victorian terraces and semis on the mid-level residential streets, and post-war and newer development on the eastern plateau around the A59. Knaresborough has a strong owner-occupier and commuter market supported by fast trains to Leeds and York, and it shares significant population overlap with Harrogate.
