From £595 per person
Book a walking holiday along the Nidderdale Way and delve into beautiful and underrated Nidderdale, 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.

“Pretty much exactly as expected.”Mr Bennett, 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
“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
“Beautiful Scenery well described within valuable guide. Most places well waymarked - fairly difficult to get lost. Nidderdale is fairly quiet compared to other dales (a good thing) marked with changing scenery from upland moors to low lush pastures. Even though we weren't blessed with good weather still a lovely experience. Accommodation at the Crown Hotel, Middlesmoor was very good with a great views over Nidderdale. A lovely Yorkshire welcome. Parking available throughout stay with no charge. Staff were very friendly nothing was too much trouble even bacon for the dog! A great easy to Moderate walking experience in early autumn. Lovely scenic views throughout the walk. Interesting places to visit - Stean Gorge, Fountains Abbey and Bringham Rocks.”Mr Robinson, UK
“We thoroughly enjoyed the route which was varied.”Mr Balme, 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
“Very enjoyable 4 day walk. Whilst the countryside is not very rugged and the distances are not huge, it was still quite a strenuous walk but with plenty to see and sites of interest along the way.”Mr Bakes, 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
“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
