Nidderdale Walk to celebrate 30th anniversary this year
The Nidderdale Walk is set to return this year for its 30th anniversary and organisers hope for a landmark event.
This year’s walk is set to take place on May 19, starting in Pateley Bridge and heading into upper Nidderdale.
The walk is made up of six routes ranging from four miles to 26 miles with a new 18-mile hike added this year.
The varied routes take walkers through the scenic countryside of Wath, Ramsgill, Lofthouse, Gouthwaite, Fountains Earth Moor, and Scar House Reservoir.
The walk first took place in 1994 and has since raised more than £970,000 for local and national charities.
Organised by the Rotary Club of Harrogate, it generated £24,000 last year alone and is hoped overall total raised surpasses the £1 million milestone this year.
The Nidderdale Walk is organised by the Rotary Club of Harrogate.
