Mother Shipton's Cave and Petrifying Well

Mother Shipton is England's most famous Prophetess. She lived some 500 years ago in the reign of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. She was born in a legendary cave beside Knaresborough's mysterious Petrifying Well. As she grew older, her prophetic visons became known and feared throughout England. She foretold the invasion of the Spanish Armada, The Great Plague and Samual Pepys's Diary grimly records her forewarning of the Great Fire of London. She even foretold the end of the world!

Beside the cave is the Petrifying Well, a unique geological phenomenon, people have been visiting the well since 1538, as they were believed to have miraculous healing powers!

The Cave and Well lie at the heart of the Mother Shipton Estate, a riverside woodland park. With beautiful riverside walks landscaped with beech trees in the 18th century. There are two adventure play areas for the children museum, tea rooms, gift areas and inclusive all day parking enabling visitors to walk over the bridge into Knaresborough.
