Pateley Bridge & The Nidderdale Museum

Pateley Bridge is stunningly in bloom in summer - it's a two time winner of the 'Britain in Bloom' competition. One of the most exciting features in Nidderdale is the How Stean Gorge which is a narrow Limestone chasm about 80 foot deep. You can pass over it on several foot bridges. This area has been given the apt nickname of 'Little Switzerland'.

The 53 mile long circular walking trail - the Nidderdale Way either begins or ends at Pateley Bridge, hence the town's popularilty as a Nidderdale walking base.

For more information on the Nidderdale Way and walking in the area check the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Beauty (AONB) weblinks right.

Brimham Rocks

If you like rocks then this is the equivalent of 'Rock City'. The leaflet says you can 'meet old friends and discover some new faces amongst these age-old rock formations'. This seems a bit far-fetched, however they're certainly striking! You'll need good walking boot and best not to climb them without special equipment!
