St Robert's Chapel and Cave, Knaresborough
Robert Flower was the son of the Mayor of York. Finding the monastic life too comfortable he became a hermit and lived in this cave for much of his life. He was famous for his piety and wisdom and was visited by King John. His brother built a chapel here and he was at first buried in it. He was never officially a saint however he became fanous all over europe and churches are dedicated to him.

The House in the Rock or Fort Montague, Knaresborough
Thomas Hill and his sons in the 1790s cut this house out of the rock face and built a wall in front to create four rooms on top of each other. They also built several terraces and planted up the 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon'. Superb views attracted many visitors and they built a seperate tea room. Later castellations were added and even two cannon. The Duchess of Buccleuch requested that it be named Fort Montague after a similar small four cannon fort at Nassau in the Bahamas. It is nowadays a private dwelling.
