About Conyngham Hall Grounds
Conyngham Hall Grounds is an area of open riverside parkland on the banks of the River Nidd in Knaresborough, managed by North Yorkshire Council and free to enter all year round. It combines a large park and picnic area with woodland and riverside walks, making it a popular family spot close to the town's famous riverside. For children there is a play area and a small adventure trail, while a woodland sculpture walk winds through the mature trees nearby. The open grassland is enhanced by seasonal bedding, herbaceous and shrub beds, and the woodland close to the river is a good place to spot local wildlife. A pay-and-display car park sits within the grounds at the riverside, with public toilets at the car park entrance. The grounds are accessible to most visitors, though the entrance is via a long gentle slope and there are steep steps in some places, so wheelchair and pushchair users should plan their route. Its riverside setting makes it an easy addition to a day exploring Knaresborough.
