Walk: Bewerley, Yorke’s Folly & Guisecliff
A monastic grange, an intriguing folly and Guise Cliff with commanding views across Nidderdale. The Route what3words for start point: ///sling.fabric.tripped Start Point: Bewerley, Nidderdale Finish Point: Bewerley, Nidderdale Distance: 4.25 Miles GPX Route Map yorkes-folly-guisecliffDownload Walk Description Bewerley lies just across the river from Pateley Bridge, the ‘capital’ of upper Nidderdale. This is an attractive village of stone houses and old miners’ cottages clustered around a narrow village green complete with a red ‘phone box and an old water trough still with a working tap. Bewerley is much older than neighbouring Pateley Bridge and was once owned by Fountains Abbey who had a grange, or monastic sheep farm, here. Hidden away along the road through the village is Bewerley Grange Chapel, built between 1494 and 1526 by Marmaduke Huby, the last Abbot of Fountains Abbey before the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This chapel was built to serve the grange, and is still in use as a chapel. Our walk climbs up onto the moors above Bewerley from where there are wonderful views across Nidderdale towards Pateley Bridge. Visible for miles around, the conspicuous landmark of Yorke’s Folly was built over 200 years ago by the local wealthy Yorke family to provide employment for local people during a period of hardship. There were originally three pillars, however one fell down during a storm in 1893. From Yorke’s Folly a path leads across the top of Guise Cliff, a ridge of sandstone rocks weathered into weird and wonderful shapes with rocks jutting out high above the trees below with precipitous cliffs and crevices – keep away from the edge and children and dogs under close supervision as there are hidden crevices and sheer drops. The return ‘leg’ of this walk meanders through Guisecliff Wood, a wonderful expanse of ancient woodland with a small hidden lake amongst the trees. This woodland is carpeted with bluebells in spring.
Walk: Yorkshire Heritage Way
The Yorkshire Heritage Way is a long-distance walking route spanning 42 miles through West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. Linking the vibrant city of Bradford with the historic cathedral city of Ripon, the trail takes in two UNESCO World Heritage Sites—Saltaire and Fountains Abbey—along with stunning countryside across Baildon Moor, the Washburn Valley and Nidderdale. Designed to connect urban and rural landscapes, the route blends spiritual, cultural, and natural heritage in one continuous and varied journey. The Route what3words for start point: ///purely.state.movesStart & Finish Point: Bradford Cathedral to Ripon CathedralDistance: 42 miles (68 km) GPX Route Map yorkshireheritagewayDownload Walk Description The Yorkshire Heritage Way begins at Bradford Cathedral, an ancient place of worship in the heart of the city, and heads north along green corridors and towpaths toward the model village of Saltaire, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its industrial and social history. From Saltaire, the route climbs gradually through Shipley Glen and out onto Baildon Moor, where wide views open across the moorland. The path then descends toward Burley in Wharfedale, where walkers must cross the River Wharfe—either by a traditional stepping stone crossing or by diverting two miles upstream to Denton Bridge. A new footbridge here has been a long-standing ambition of the local community. Entering North Yorkshire, the trail winds through Timble, past Blubberhouses Church, and into the Washburn Valley, climbing toward Thruscross Reservoir before descending into the wooded reaches near Glasshouses. Soon after, the dramatic formations of Brimham Rocks offer a spectacular natural landmark. The final stretch leads to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Park, a second UNESCO site combining Cistercian ruins with Georgian water gardens and deer-filled parkland. The walk concludes at Ripon Cathedral, a fittingly peaceful end to a route rich in history, beauty and Yorkshire character.

The route continues onto Bewerley and heads down to the east side of Gouthwaite Reservoir. Leaving the reservoir side near Ramsgill the walk heads deep into upper Nidderdale via Stean Gorge and Middlesmoor to Scar House Reservoir. The route continues south along the valley on paths and trails by the east side of Gouthwaite Reservoir again but this time in the downstream direction close to Pateley Bridge. Then more low moor paths are followed to the south of the spectacular Brimham Rocks before continuing to Shaw Mills and then to Ripley. A short walk back to Hampsthwaite then completes the stunning circular walk.
