Itinerary Schedule
21 Bus: Knaresborough and Boroughbridge
Catch the 21 bus from Knaresborough bus station for the 40-minute journey to Boroughbridge. Settle into a comfy seat and take in the views as the bus goes along country lanes and through pretty villages. These electric buses have low-level access, free WiFi and USB charging points too, so you can keep your phone charged ready to take photos of your visit!
Discover Boroughbridge
Spend your morning exploring this market town starting at the quaint Butter Market Museum with its display of local artefacts. Meander along the streets with their mix of Regency, Georgian and Victorian architecture and don’t miss St James Square surrounded by old buildings with the ornate Market Well at its centre. Discover independent food and drink retailers, with shops full of fresh local produce, continental fine foods and mouth-watering counters laden with tasty treats ready for you to take home (plus something for the bus journey back!)
The Devil’s Arrows
Visit the mysterious Neolithic standing stones known as the Devil’s Arrows on the edge of Boroughbridge. These three impressive standing stones are a testament to the distant past and the people who used to inhabit this part of North Yorkshire. As you approach the stones, two of which are in an open field with the third stone, the tallest, on the opposite side of the road, there is a real sense of mystical energy. Retrace your steps back to the town centre to catch the bus back to Knaresborough.
