We had scheduled for today a trip to the picturesque and historic market town of Knaresborough. John, Derek, Colin, Glenn, Malcolm and Mark caught the 10.29 train from Leeds, meeting up with Brian, who had caught an earlier train, at Knaresborough station. A beautiful warm sunny day. Our first port of call was to the fabulous and wonderfully nomenclatured cafe The Black Mulberry. A superb brunch was taken here, 10 out of 10 rated, and excellent value. Many thanks to the lovely staff there.
Our next aim was a walk out to some steps from where we could take a climb back into town. Unfortunately, on reaching said steps, we discovered the gate to access them was padlocked. Time for plan B!. After some discussion about which set of steps to take as an alternative we decided on some which took us through the Bebra gardens at a leisurely clip and then back towards the town centre. Then on to the Castle creamery for a cooling ice-cream. Delicious and great value again!. Some of our party then left us to catch a train back while the rest of us took in the market place, an antiques centre, followed by a quick look inside the superb Blind Jack's pub, an architectural marvel, before we in turn left to catch our return train, bringing to an end a superb day..
