Delightful spot on the river with stepping stones to cross.

The Six Dales Trail only launched in 2010. It starts in Otley and meanders across the entire Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to finish here at Middleham. So you are either at the start of the trek or the finish, depending on what direction you are hiking. The trail is 38 miles long (61 km) and is a fully waymarked route with heather moorland, rivers, parkland, and the famous Jervaulx Abbey. Here at Middleham is the fantastic Middleham Castle, which is well worth a visit.

Stark Bank Road, between Jervaulx and Ellingstring, rises steeply to the south; when at the top end, look to the north for superb views of Wensleydale. Apparently, this might have been an ancient route from the coal mines at Colsterdale to Jervaulx Abbey.

The castle is a big landmark as you approach the town.

Jervaulx Abbey is a Cistercian Abbey, one of many in Yorkshire that were demolished during the desolation of the monasteries in the 16th century. It is owned by the Burdon family who keep the Abbey open to visitors every day, from dawn until dusk. It is also a wedding venue so can be shut on occasions when ceremonies are taking place.

Middleham Castle is spectacular to look at. It is remarkably well preserved given that the central keep is the from the 11th century and extensions were added up to the 15th century. As you cycle past there is a great view from the road, but if you take the road heading south to the east of the castle, Canaan Road, there is an even better view. Unfortunately Canaan Road is a dead end. Middelham Castle was the childhood home of Richard III and is now owned by English Heritage.
