Pateley Bridge - Brimham Rocks circular
Details
This is a fabulous walk and was voted as one of Britain’s top 100 favourites in a poll carried out by the Ordnance Survey. The walk from the river Nidd up to Brimham Rocks is moderate/strenuous and there will be a brief opportunity to climb up some of the rocks if desired. Return is via a Llama farm and Tiplady Farm with a water wheel, gypsy caravan and other features, descending into Pateley Bridge along the famous Panorama Walk. The expected finish time is around 1600 just in time for a pint / ice cream / coffee.
