Places to visit in North Yorkshire

At Nidd Hall we’re fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best places to visit in North Yorkshire, including the Roman city of York and the happiest place to live in Britain – our very own Harrogate! We asked our Nidd team to come up with their top things to do in the local area, and they’ve picked out some of the absolute best for you to enjoy while you’re exploring.

Harrogate

15-min drive from Nidd Hall, HG1

Regularly voted the “happiest place to live” in Britain, the fashionable spa town of Harrogate has been welcoming tourists since the 16th century when its waters were a popular health treatment. Nowadays it’s home to the famous Betty’s Tea Rooms, Turkish baths, and Valley gardens.

York

33-min drive from Nidd Hall, YO26 6QF

The above postcode will take you to Poppleton park and ride, by far the easiest way to explore this historic city. The ancient walls date back to Roman times, and within them you’ll find 30 museums, a wealth of independent shops and the National Railway Museum.

Knaresborough

15-min drive from Nidd Hall, HG5

The market town of Knaresborough sits on River Nidd’s edge, the town centre perched atop the cliffs by the water. We recommend visiting on a Wednesday to enjoy the hustle-and-bustle of market day, the perfect opportunity to sample Yorkshire’s cheeses, pies, meats, beers, fish and more.
