Charming old cliff side town

The town is perched on a cliff at the edge of the River Nidd and has plenty to occupy the visitor for a day. It also makes a good base for touring the North Yorkshire area and there is a good choice of accomodation to choose from.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A lot to see in such a small town
Cons:Heavy traffic in the High Street
In a nutshell:One of Englands most beautiful towns

This looks like a lovely place to visit. Nice tips and pictures! I especially like the painted windows!
How fascinating that the objects are turned into stone by the water!!!
