Nestled in the steep-sided valley of the River Nidd is the charming Dales town of Pateley Bridge. Full of quaint little alleys and yards which run off the main street, this maze of passages is home to many interesting shops which provide a range of unusual gifts and mementos. Well known for its prize-winning floral displays, the town also has a leisure centre that offers splendid sports facilities as well as the riverside park with children's play area. Also worth visiting are the town's Craft Workshops and the award winning Nidderdale Museum, showing a collection of artefacts to illustrate aspects of Dales life in the past. The Nidd valley offers excellent walks both up and down stream as well as fantastic bird watching opportunities. With so much to do, everyone is sure to find something at Pateley Bridge to make their holiday there a memorable one.
