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.

“The walk we did was quite strenuous but very enjoyable and we were blessed with good weather as well as superb scenery!”Mr Turner, UK
“It was beyond our expectations. A thoroughly enjoyable walk. The Bewerley Hall Farm B&B was possibly the most welcoming and friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in. Our host was extremely helpful and friendly. Our taxi driver was also fantastic and helped us with the route including the best drop off and pick up times and locations. She was flexible and a real character that added to our enjoyment of the holiday. Yes we would definitely recommend this walking holiday. It’s been one of our favourites. Looking forward to the next walking holiday.”Mr Yates, UK

“The Nidderdale way is a wonderful scenic walk in the Yorkshire Dales. Added to that it was very quiet and we encountered very few walkers or bikers on the route. It is easy to find and very well way marked. Contours communication and info including guide book and OS map perfect. It was all beautiful.”Ms Jackaman, 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
