Pateley Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

A village that's still riding high on the 2014 Tour de France hype, Pateley Bridge is a real treat when you pass through on a bike. A lot of idyllic stone houses in this small market town. In 2016 it won a national award for its high street and the locals really take pride in their environment. The local delicacy is the Pateley Pie and they reckon it's best to try it from one of the two local butchers.

Pateley Bridge — Market Town

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Stone Bridge, Pateley Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The bridge at Pateley Bridge is a Grade-II listed 18th century structure with three segmental arches - rather impressive. Completely central in the town (or is it a bigger village?... hm...). It's a pleasant place. The name "Pateley" means "a path in a clearing". Not much of that left these days!
