Muddy footpath in Nidd Gorge transformed
A muddy footpath in Nidd Gorge has been transformed thanks to Bilton Conservation Group.
12 volunteers from the group spent 77 hours this week laying the 45-metre footpath, which is close to Tennyson Avenue, using 13 tonnes of limestone ballast.
It was funded through a £1,000 grant from Bilton Conservative county councillor Paul Haslam's Locality Budget.
The main ‘Millennium Path’ was laid by the group in 2015 and was extended towards Tennyson Avenue in 2016.
The group had attempted a lightweight boardwalk solution three times, only to find it damaged by vandals.
