Knaresborough Forest Park Knaresborough Forest Park is the name the volunteers have given to the 60.81 acres of farmland that they are currently in the process of purchasing for the community. The land was once part of the eastern end of the ancient Royal Forest of Knaresborough. It is an integral part of a green wildlife corridor between the River Nidd at Conyngham Hall and the Nidderdale Greenway near Bilton. This includes Long Lands Common - Harrogate’s first-ever community-owned 30-acre woodland and nature reserve. It was the inspiration for Knaresborough Forest Park, which is now itself an autonomous project within the Community Benefit Society that was set up by Long Lands Common founders.
