Ruins and Bridge in Nidderdale Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are coming down this hill into Pateley bridge, be careful...a long steep downhill with lots of bends and limited visibility. Be very careful in the rain. Then, when at the bottom, have a drink in the pub at the bottom on the left hand side ;)

Pateley Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

A village that's still riding high on the 2014 Tour de France hype, Pateley Bridge is a real treat when you pass through on a bike. A lot of idyllic stone houses in this small market town. In 2016 it won a national award for its high street and the locals really take pride in their environment. The local delicacy is the Pateley Pie and they reckon it's best to try it from one of the two local butchers.
