Harrogate

Harrogate’s a thriving North Yorkshire spa town where you’re never far from the rolling countryside of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The area borders the Yorkshire Dales and it’s rich with wildlife, so it’s well worth taking your binoculars and camera as you trek across the windswept moorlands and steep river valleys. With over 820 miles of public footpaths and bridleways, there are endless walking and hiking routes, so you’re sure to find a route to suit you.

You can enjoy one of the many woodland rambles close to the area bordering Harrogate, stroll along the River Nidd as it passes through Pateley Bridge or even explore the Nidd Gorge where the gentle river’s the perfect place for a picnic after a morning of rambling. Alternatively, you can follow the River Skell from Ripon along to Fountains Abbey. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, then try the Jervaulx Abbey to Thornton Steward route. On this circular walk, you’ll see stunning parklands, lush pasture, fields and historic villages. Or, you can take the 17.5-mile route on The Aislabie Walk.
