A TEN-second video of a North Yorkshire town has become an unlikely internet sensation after attracting more than one million views online.

The short clip showing the iconic view of Knaresborough viaduct over the River Nidd was uploaded to the video sharing platform Tik Tok by London-based Jenny Alievskaya.

Jenny has posted scores of videos of her UK weekend trips but only a clip of a steam train in Scotland has gained more than the 1.1million views garnered by the viral Knaresborough clip.

Darlington and Stockton Times:

The video was shot by Jenny and uploaded to TikTok

The video starts with a shot of Jenny's shoes as she walks towards a viewpoint for the viaduct and features the overlaid text: "This place in England is so beautiful I can't believe it's real."

The video goes on to pan around the viaduct from above and below.

Russian-born Jenny, who also blogs about her weekend travels, said she was surprised herself at how widely-viewed the clip has been, telling the D&S Times: "You never know what will do good on TikTok."

It's not the first time that North Yorkshire has featured on Jenny's TikTok channel, as clips of tourist destinations including Staithes, Whitby and York have attraced a combined 28,000 views.

But at 1.1million views and rising, Knaresborough has easily proved among the biggest hits with viewers.
