There are a huge range of businesses in the Nidderdale AONB from
craft shops to quaint pubs, smokehouses to tea shops - everything
you need for a visit to the AONB.
Visiting a new place is always a good opportunity to try the
local delicacies on offer. Buying locally produced products also
has many environmental benefits:
- Shops which buy from local farms are helping to maintain the
diverse farmed landscape that characterises the area
- Local food is fresh and accountable you can trace where the
meat or eggs you buy has come from
- Short distances between farm, abattoir and point of sale
not only reduces stress for the animal but also minimises mileage
which reduces pollution
- Supporting local shops and suppliers supports local jobs and
the wider rural economy
- Local shops also have social functions in rural areas they
often offer a variety of other services other than their main
purpose, allow traders to keep in contact with the elderly and
infirm and provide shopping outlets for those who cannot afford or
are no longer able to drive
