Overview

Starting in Goldsborough village the walk takes us through woodland and across fields to Ribston Hall, where we walk through the hall grounds crossing the Nidd over an ornate bridge.  From the grounds you can see the impressive Ribston Hall, a 17th-century country mansion.  From here, the walk continues across fields and woodland to Plumpton, with views of Plumpton Hall, and on through Birkham Wood and down to the river.  We can stop for an additional break at the Riverside Café if we wish, after which we'll make our way back to Goldsborough.

Please note:  The walk requires two crossings of the busy A658. 1 Stile

Sorry no dogs
