Book a walking holiday along the Nidderdale Way and delve into beautiful and underrated Nidderdale, which lies just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Quiet and undisturbed, this enchanting valley contains the wind-weathered gritstone sculptures of Brimham Rocks alongside How Stean Gorge, a spectacular limestone ravine. Ripley Castle lies here, too, with its fabulous deer park and gardens laid out by Capability Brown.
Lush woodland and rustling meadows line the walk between Ramsgill, a cluster of stone cottages, and Ripley, a 19th century estate built to resemble a French village. The Nidderdale Way is a low-level route on the whole, although it does climb the flanks of the valley to follow gritstone edges and moorland fringes for rewarding views over the dale.
The Nidderdale Way is a single-centre tour. Throughout the walk, you will stay in the same accommodation in Bewerley or Pateley Bridge. Pre-paid taxi transfers will take you to and from the trail each day, allowing you to pick up where you left off while saving you the bother of repacking your luggage every day.
Admiring the varied scenery through the Yorkshire Dales, from high level moorland, lush woodlands and flowing meadows.
Visiting the sleepy Dales villages of Ramsgill and Ripley.
Discovering the best of The Dales’ attractions, including Brimham Rocks and How Stean Gorge.

“Interesting and varied environments with plenty of wildlife. It is such a pretty & varied route that there is much to be appreciated on each day - moorland, woodland, river, vast scenery, wildlife - all fabulous.”Mr Anderson, UK
“A relatively easy walk through some splendid countryside – my second visit to the Dales and I already want to go back again!”Mr Julyan, UK
“We thoroughly enjoyed the route which was varied.”Mr Balme, UK
“My accommodation, taxi transfers, weather and walk were outstanding. It was a fabulous break. Although I was moved to a different accommodation days before the holiday, it worked out very well. I’ve been a customer since 2004.”Mr Frankham, UK
“The places we stayed were all excellent and the taking on of our luggage worked well. We wish there were more circular walks like the Nidderdale Way.”Mr Box, UK
“Great shorter walk in a beautiful area. Nice having the same accommodation in this case in central Pateley Bridge. And our taxi driver was THE BEST, great character and very flexible with helpful info of a local who cares. Would recommend this holiday to those after a shorter walk with manageable ascents and distances. Will always book another holiday with you when I return to the UK during Spring-Autumn, but that's only every few years when there isn't a pandemic on.”Mr Bayley, UK
“Wonderful walk even though the weather was a bit wet. The taxi driver was exceptionally helpful and seemed to know and had done large sections of the route. The accommodation at Kell House was also brilliant and again our hosts were very helpful and kept a superb guest house with wonderful breakfast's and packed lunches.”Mr Bryce, UK
“Easy booking system. Accommodation excellent. Taxi transfer service superb - she was friendly, informative and knowledgeable about the walk and the local Nidderdale area in general. Good organisation of the holiday by Contours.”Mr Turner, UK
“Scenery, weather and accommodation all came together perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyable and possibly better staying at two locations rather than in this instance. Would recommend the holiday to others, particularly as an introductory walk to long distance paths. Have already booked another holiday in September.”Mr Twigg, UK
