Overview

We follow the Nidderdale Way to Shaw Mills and return via Bedlam and the boundary of Ripley Park. Numerous stiles including two awkward wall stiles. Note that Knaresborough town centre is closed to traffic from 10 to 11 am so please use an alternative route to reach Ripley.

Note: We use a booking system in case of last-minute changes to the walk details or for Illness, weather or car parking etc. Please book a place by contacting David Smith by phone (07713885184) or email (davidj.smith@outlook.com). Although we do accept walkers on the day.
