She lived some 500 years ago in the times of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. She was born in a cave at the side of the river Nidd, delivered as lightning crackled and burned in a violent storm. As she grew older, her prophetic visions became known and feared throughout England. She foretold the invasion and defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588; and Samuel Pepys’ Diary grimly records that Mother Shipton gave forewarning of the Great Fire of London in 1666. Why not visit one of the last remnants of the Royal Forest of Knaresborough? Hold hands as you walk down Beech Avenue (known as the ‘romantic walk’), propose to your loved one by the wishing well, and then share a bottle of bubbly enjoying the view over the weir. NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK Beside the Cave is the famous Petrifying Well, a unique geological phenomenon. Curiosity has drawn millions of visitors over hundreds of years, to see cascading water turn everyday objects to stone - as if by magic!
