Hi all, i was thinking about going to mother shiptons cave at knaresborough and i just wondered has anybody been and can give any views on what its like etc ? and would it be ok for small children gotta keep em entertained over the holiday so this place was on the list as a possibility.
any knaresborough folk know of any other places near by we could also pop too whilst we are there?
hope somebody can help - thanks!

The only story I have is we went once many years ago and you have to make a wish.I wished that I would get pregnant "by accident " as there was no justifiable reason for us to be thinking of having a third child-my youngest was just starting school and I was thinking of going back to work .My "wish" is now 15 years old-so be careful what you wish for !

I went to school in knares'gh worked in the cave years ago, give it a miss its pants and overpriced, you will have more fun hiring a boat and having fun on the river.

Knaresborough is a beutifull town but everyone who lives there knows that the mother shipton cave entry price is a complete waste of money

Entry price? Didn't it used to be free? I went a few times as a child, don't think I've been in nearly 20 years now though. I remember just walking past a cave with various things hanging there but not paying. I thought they were interesting but could never work out why we'd driven all that way just to see that.
