Overview

From Pateley Bridge we follow the Nidderdale Way until we reach the village of Wath, at which point we turn off near Gouthwaite Reservoir and head up to Highfield Farm and then onto the Lead Mines where we will stop for a lunch break. After the break we continue along the Nidderdale Way footpath which we follow all the way back into Pateley Bridge. Refreshments will be at the Crown P.H. the walk.
