Situated beside the River Nidd on the outskirts of the town of Knaresborough, Saint Robert’s Cave is a rare surviving example of a medieval hermit’s home. The site has for many centuries been a famous pilgrimage site in North Yorkshire. Robert of Knaresborough lived on this site in the early 13th Century, and pilgrims visited, believing that their ailments could be cured by the man, and in latter centuries by the place itself. Visitors can see the caves where all this took place.
