One of the most beautiful towns in North Yorkshire but it is so often missed by visitors to our region. why is it so special you may say its because of its natural beauty, from the ruins of the castle built by a Norman Baron you can view the river Nidd which has spectacular views of the viaduct bridge and in fine weather you can walk along the river Nidd via Abbey Road and you can also row on the river. A popular market town with 20,000 people.
