Knaresborough

Well, on the last couple of days of my holiday the sun came out.....I know, I cant believe it either! So on the briefest of sun spoilt days I decided to have a ride out to Knaresborough, home of a ruined castle and a rather spectacular bridge over the River Nidd, so without further ado, the pictures....


The ruins of the Kings Tower, the biggest remaining section of the castle


Very picturesque bridge over the river



Fancy a punt on the river .....


Loving the detail on the benches


Aha, colour pop!!!




A quick walk round the corner found me at Green Dragon Court



And yes.....a final 2 colour pops


Loving the ART .....

Boscastle

And another hour or so in the car found me in Boscastle....well, what can I say about the place....not much apart from...damn boring, pretty (ish) but boring, in fact I might say that the flood could have been the most exciting thing to happen there since, well, forever.  There is however a witchcraft museum that passed 10 minutes, that seems to be dedicated to people burning naked women, or men with swords...

A couple of poor pics from inside...




And now onto the outside...















A rebel....sitting on the window ledge....naughty!
