A Russian TikToker has racked up a million views with a video of Knaresborough that she described as “a place in England so beautiful I can’t believe it’s real”.
The clip by alievskaya.uk was taken at Knaresborough Castle overlooking the River Nidd as a train crosses the viaduct.
The TikTok user, who is based in London, travels around the UK each weekend filming with her husband to post short videos on the social media platform.
She writes on her website:
“Despite the coronavirus, we managed to visit dozens of British villages and many cities. I adore exploring the British countryside and taking pictures of it!”

“Oh my god I’ve been there! I always remember it as one of the most beautiful places I’ve been”
Another said:
“Knaresborough is fantastic, it’s absolutely stunning.”
