More about this scene

Moored alongside the far bank is a floating tea room which appears to be doing a brisk trade. The rowing boat in the foreground is in fact the ferry to the Dropping Well. On the hill above the town stand the ruins of Knaresborough Castle, which was destroyed by Parliament in 1648.
