We took the train from Edinburg to Knaresborough via York to visit Denise, our English friend that we have known for a long time. Denise and her boyfriend, Mervin met us at the Knaresborough train station to walk us home. It's Denise's home, a seven minute walk from the train station. We spent four days in Knaresborough with Denise while taking day trips to York and the Yorkshire Dales.
