About Fencing in Knaresborough
Knaresborough in North Yorkshire grew around a Norman castle built around 1100 on a cliff above the River Nidd, which sheltered the knights who assassinated Thomas Becket in the 1170s before being largely destroyed during the Civil War. The town is also linked to the sixteenth century prophetess Mother Shipton, said to have been born in a cave beside the town's Petrifying Well, one of England's oldest visitor attractions.

Knaresborough sits on magnesian limestone bedrock typical of this part of North Yorkshire, with the River Nidd cutting a deep gorge through the town creating notable areas of steep, rocky ground near the water. Higher ground away from the gorge tends to be firmer and more level, generally suited to standard concreted fence post footings.
