Every Summer Sunday and Bank Holiday buses run from Bradford (DalesBus 820) and Keighley (DalesBus 821)
via Shipley, Guiseley White Cross, Menston and Otley to the Washburn Valley and Pateley Bridge.
There’s no need to book in advance, tickets are available from the driver, so you can simply turn up and go!
Dales Rover tickets and ENCTS elderly/disabled bus passes are valid.
From Otley the buses climb over Norwood Edge to the pretty village of Fewston in the Washburn Valley (heritage centre by the 18th century church), and Fewston and Swinsty reservoirs. They then continue to Blubberhouses - starting points for several wonderful lakeside, woodland and moorland walks, past Mackenzies Farm Shop and the Stone House Inn (alight for Thruscross Reservoir) to Greenhow, Coldstones Cut (viewpoint sculpture feature - free entry) before descending to Pateley Bridge.
Pateley Bridge is the perfect base to explore Upper Nidderdale. There are cafés, pubs, boutique shops, galleries, a small park and beautiful riverside walks, and the outstanding Nidderdale Museum. Or plan a longer hike along the Nidderdale Way or Six Dales Trail.
Nidderdale DalesBus 821 continues from Pateley Bridge for a highly scenic journey past Gouthwaite Reservoir to Ramsgill, Lofthouse
and Scar House Reservoir, starting point for lakeside or moorland walks through wild and desolate countryside.
Alight at Lofthouse for 20 minutes’ walk to the spectacular How Stean Gorge – limestone gorge and waterfalls, plus Tom Taylor’s cave and café.
