Pateley Bridge
Situated on the edge of the River Nidd, in the heart of Nidderdale National Landscape, Pateley Bridge is a picturesque town set in beautiful surroundings.
Pateley Bridge and the surrounding countryside has provided inspiration for writers and artists over many. In recent years the town has hosted a new festival, NiddFest, celebrating nature in writing. Its attractions keep visitors coming back year after year.
