Hailed as the 'Capital of Nidderdale', Pateley Bridge is a pretty market town and a haven for hikers. There are lots of footpaths and routes starting from the town, including the iconic Nidderdale Way. Fun fact: Pateley Bridge has the oldest sweet shop in the world. Opened in 1827, the shop is located in one of the town's oldest buildings, which dates from 1661.

Very pleasant, check out the oldest sweet shop in England and don't miss out on the amazing pork / steak pies. Well worth sampling for a lunchtime snack.

Great town with lots of pubs, cafes and small independant shops. Great places to stop in after a hard yomp in the hills.
