Upper Nidderdale

Upper Nidderdale is characterised by its vast moorlands and sweeping views, dominated by Gouthwaite, Scar House and Angram reservoirs. It is also home to some of the finest grouse moors in the country. 

The moorlands are internationally important for their birdlife and provide stunning views of the valleys and reservoirs below. The villages of Lofthouse, Middlesmoor, Ramsgill and Wath contain many buildings of historic interest as well as visitor attractions, pubs, restaurants and accommodation.
