Publisher's Synopsis
Nidderdale is perhaps the least known of the famously beautiful Yorkshire Dales in northern England. Uniquely, this scenic valley has three large reservoirs made in the 20th century by damming the River Nidd, creating a haven for birds including rare species. The valley is also rich in human heritage, from mining to Methodism. The Nidderdale Way is a 54-mile circuit starting and ending in the market town of Pateley Bridge; it can be walked comfortably over four to six days, and is well maintained and waymarked throughout. Our second edition documents some minor route changes and has improved mapping, with many extra features added and labelled. It is perfect bound, making it lighter and more pocketable than the previous edition. The book has all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday: concise directions, printed on rainproof paper 16 pages with detailed route mapping (1:45,000) background on the River Nidd, minerals and textiles four-page section on habitats and wildlife contact details for accommodation and transport Link routes from Ripon and Knaresborough lavishly illustrated with 95+ colour photos.
