St Roberts Cave Tel: (01423) 556188, Fax: (01423) 556130, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, HG5 8HX A rare example of a 12thC hermit's cave in a picturesque riverside setting, once the home of Saint Robert of Knaresborough. Re-opened 1991, the site with cave, chapel and living area is best reached by walking along Abbey Road from the centre of Knaresborough. Sitting snugly beside the River Nidd on the outskirts of Knaresborough, Saint Robert's Cave is a rare survival of a medieval hermit's home. This site was carved from the solid magnesian limestone bedrock, and once attracted thousands of pilgrims to this North Yorkshire town. Robert of Knaresborough lived on this site in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, and was recorded in his own era as one of the pre-eminent holy people in all of Europe. Pilgrims flocked to Robert in his lifetime, and they continued to come to the cave in large numbers for centuries after his death in 1218. Pilgrims came to be healed of physical ailments, for spiritual direction, or simply to be in close proximity to the home of a revered holy man. Today, visitors continue to come to St Robert's Cave to see the place where this extraordinary man lived. The small cave is carved into the face of the limestone cliff, and the remains of a chapel and Robert's living area survive, carved out of the bedrock between the cave and the river. The site retains a remarkable atmosphere of distant times..... |
