Low Laithe to Brimham Rocks ending at Pateley Bridge (7.5 miles)

A moderate linear walk mostly following Nidderdale way starting at village of Low Laithe up to Brimham Rocks - an amazing collection of weird and wonderful Millstone Grit rock formations, sculpted over centuries by ice, wind and rain - and then descending the Panorama Walk into Pateley Bridge.

Expect muddy footpaths- if weather is good we can linger a while at Brimham Rocks to explore & take photos.

(Note: No toilet at Low Laithe so take the opportunity to use public toilets in Harrogate if possible.)
