Pateley Bridge
Pateley Bridge is an attractive little market town on the River Nidd. It is situated in the heart of a landscape designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and is a good base from which to explore the attractions of Nidderdale.
The town is set around a steep hill, and in the high street are interesting small shops and tea-rooms. Here you will find the oldest sweet shop in Britain. Pateley Bridge is also the home of the Nidderdale Museum (housed in the former workhouse).
There is a farmers market on the fourth Sunday of each month.
With its marvellous summer floral displays, Pateley Bridge has twice won the Britain in Bloom competition.
