Walk the World to Rights Walk – Pateley Bridge to Brimham Rocks 13/07/2025
I have been to Brimham Rocks and Pateley Bridge many times but never walked between them
This was a nice walk starting from the centre of Pateley Bridge there was a steep climb over tarmac paths to get out of town before the views opened up.
And the walk up to Brimham Rocks was through farmland.
The land was not showing too many signs of the water shortage in Yorkshire.
I always prefer walks which include something interesting to see. Brimham Rocks certainly fits the bill. And made a great location for a lunch break.
And Menwith Hill was on the next hill along.
After a short walk along a road, the path dropped gradually down to the River Nidd
This was a wonderful part of the walk through woodland along the side of the river.
I’m always a sucker for a reflection
A slight detour took us past a very dry Glasshouses Dam
The path then skirted a meadow, although not bursting, there was a fine display of wildflowers.
Before following a walled path back to the centre of Pateley Bridge.
This was a wonderful walk, primarily out of town, with some great panoramic views, a lot of variety in the landscape, including woodlands, a riverbank, and rock formations, with very little road walking and the added bonus of llamas.
