Not far south of Pateley Bridge on the northern flank of Nought Moor, with a public footpath running through it. Very serene nature area with a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and lots of ferns.

Small picturesque ford at Fell Beck with a weir slightly upstream. The weir can be difficult to spot in spring due to dense vegetation, but you can't fail to hear it.

The public footpath on the Ordnance Survey map is quite set back from the cliffs (some 150m or so), but there is an easily followed path along the cliff edge, which runs from the side of the television booster mast at Abraham Crags. There are some fabulous views to be taken in, but they are intermittent in spring/summer due to all the vegetation obscuring some of the views.

The folly, also known as "Two Stoops" or "The Stoops," is a Grade II listed structure with a distinct, L-shaped design that evokes the ruins of a church, perhaps an east window or a crossing. Situated at the top of Nought Bank, there are expansive views of Pateley Bridge, the surrounding dale, and the Nidderdale countryside. Commissioning a folly to provide employment during a recession was a relatively common practice in the Victorian era.

Quintessentially pretty market town, arrive early to find suitable parking, best place is next to the showground on the southern side of the bridge over the River Nidd. Honesty box only (no payment cards), cheap at £1 up to 4 hours and £2 all day (spring 2025 prices). The southern end of Nidderdale around Pateley Bridge has one of the densest concentrations of public footpaths in North Yorkshire, so loads of routeing options.

Great views both up and downstream, with parking on both sides of the bridge. The car park on the southern side, next to the cricket pitch and showground, is quite big and now relies on an honesty box for payment.

Old Spring Wood boasts a variety of plants, including ancient woodland species, numerous springs, and is located on a large slope with terraces formed by magnesian limestone. Very peaceful spot off the beaten track and away from the hustle and bustle of Brimham Rocks.

Drinking water is available for free and there is toilets and hot drinks and cold
