Pastures and Panoramas Walk at Brimham Rocks

Pass through pastures in Nidderdale with panoramic views across the dale and beyond, on this circular walk. As you walk along the river path, you might see flashes of blue as kingfishers fly past, or brown trout in the river. Muddy in places.

This 11.2 km route makes for a full-day commitment — bring sufficient food and water. Plan for around 2 hours and 29 minutes on the trail.

Laid out as a circular walk, this trail finishes exactly where it begins — no need to arrange transport back or retrace your steps.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
