Tonight’s picture shows a cluster of sand martins’ nest holes in the unconsolidated moraine soils of South Ferriby ‘Cliff’ (opposite North Ferriby ‘Cliff’).
Recently drove to Knaresborough Christmas Fair/fayre. Went early afternoon so quite soon lost daylight but pleasant atmosphere in Market Place and not too crowded. Don’t know Knaresborough at all really but walked down a road linking Market Place to the church sided by a number of historic cottages, then down some precarious stone steps to the River Nidd side near to the famous railway viaduct. The valley side at Knaresborough is steeper than that at Newcastle and cottages down the valley-side seem to just be clinging to the rock. Up another set of old stone steps to the Castle and just a short walk back to the Market Place. Definitely a place to revisit at a more suitable time of year.
