Pateley Bridge is nestled in the heart of Nidderdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can experience all the charms of rural life as well as visit numerous attractions in and around the local area. Pateley Bridge is the perfect place to start your exploration of the Yorkshire Dales. As you explore Nidderdale on foot it is impossible not to stumble across the footprints of the past. Victorian industry found a range of useful minerals and resources in the valley. From the railways that once reached all the way to the top of the valley, to the abandoned mines and quarries that can be found in almost every small valley or hillside – the landscape is a museum to the history of Nidderdale.

B Walk
Leader Tony Culverhouse Walking Distance: 9.5 miles Moderate
Starting Point: Greenhow Hill
We will get off the coach at Greenhow Hill and head East along the Nidderdale Way (NW) to Ladies Rigg and Eagle Hall.  We then leave the NW and head South through woodlands, climbing up on to moorland overlooking Pateley Bridge.  During our ascent, we rejoin the NW which goes on to alternate between moorland and woodland with views out over the Nidderdale Valley.  We then descend into Hawkshaw Gill Wood before looping North to meet the River Nidd, which we follow back to Pateley Bridge. Some steady ascents - nothing too strenuous.

C/D Walk
Leader: Jane Cordingley Walking Distance: 7 miles Moderate
Starting Point: Bewerley Coach Park, Pateley Bridge
Leaving the coach park, we head in a North-Westerly direction on field paths following the River Nidd and then Ashfold Side Beck, via a caravan park to Ashfold Side. Heading Easterly, we climb gently to reach the hamlet of Heathfield and then head downhill to rejoin the River Nidd at Wath (option for drink stop at pub, time allowing). We then rejoin the Nidderdale Way, following the River Nidd back to Pateley Bridge. A fairly low level walk with a total ascent of 980ft, and a small amount of road work.  Possibly muddy.
