Stockwell Lodge

Stockwell Lodge is situated in the charming ancient market town of Knaresborough. In the main high street lies the delightful market square with a warren of cobble streets and stone staircases which weave up and down the hill. Built in the gorge of the River Nidd, the picturesque town spills down the riverbank while towering above are the ruins of Knaresborough Castle and the iconic viaduct.
