What you will see
Fountains Abbey
The ruins of one of England's great medieval monasteries, set within Georgian water gardens and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Brimham Rocks
Strange, weathered gritstone formations scattered across open moorland, looking for all the world like a giant's sculpture park.
Pateley Bridge
The market town at the heart of Nidderdale, home to England's oldest sweet shop and a good spot to stop for lunch.
Coldstones Cut
Yorkshire's largest public artwork, a dramatic viewing platform built above a working quarry with views across the dale.
Allerton Castle and beyond
Further scenic stops are woven into the route, all narrated as you go so you know what you are looking at and why it matters.
Good to know
- Booking
- Online in advance through GetYourGuide. Current pricing and access details are shown at checkout.
- How it works
- Download the Trippy Tour Guide app, follow the route on your phone, and audio narration plays automatically as you reach each of over 40 points along the way.
- Duration
- Around eight hours allowed for the full route, though you can take as long as you like at each stop and skip anything that does not interest you.
- Group size
- Priced per group rather than per person, so it works out well for two to four people sharing a car.
- Starting point
- The route starts in York and loops out through Nidderdale, so it suits visitors basing themselves in York as well as those staying in Pateley Bridge itself.
- Cancellation
- Free cancellation before access begins, full refund.
- Pay later
- GetYourGuide's reserve now and pay later option lets you book without paying today.
