Middlesmoor Days.mov
Daniel Mejloumian's (Dan Mej Lou Mian) trip to countryside, to Middlesmoor near North Yorkshire market town of Pateley Bridge was pretty much black and white. He went, he saw, he had his picnic, he played, slept and went back home. The fresh air and fabulous surroundings made him think that everyone should explore the North Yorkshire, beautiful Yorkshire dales, a wild sheep farming area of England, renown for its beauty.
Attractions near Middlesmoor:
Nidderdale Museum (6 Miles)*
A truly fascinating collection of exhibits is displayed in the original Victorian workhouse, beautifully illustrating the life and history of our Dalesfolk.
Stump Cross Caverns (7 Miles)*
Stump Cross Caverns is one of Britain's premier show caves, located in Nidderdale on the border of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There are a range of facilities for a great family day out.

Built in 1379 for Richard le Scrope, Lord Chancellor of England to Richard II, this massive fortress dominating the heart of Wensleydale is one of the country's best preserved castles.
Pateley Bridge is only a small place - though once of some significance as a lead mining centre - with a population of 2,000, Pateley Bridge is worth visiting for itself but is also within just a few miles of some magnificent amenities, some of which again are little known. The only logical reason for Pateley Bridge not being better known is that it is truly off the beaten track (for some people a recommendation in itself). The town sits in the heart of Nidderdale, less than ten miles from Harrogate and Ripon, accessible via some pretty B roads though sadly no longer served by rail. Pateley has retained its character as a market town, with plenty of small shops that will delight those tired of identikit high streets. One shop is particularly famous, and worth a detour for those with a sweet tooth as it is the oldest sweet shop in the country, established in 1827. The town has won numerous awards in the Britain in Bloom competition and similar events and has some wonderful floral displays, and it is the home of the Nidderdale Museum. Beyond the town there are some fantastic natural sights to draw visitors. The spectacular rock formations at Brimham Rocks are just a couple of miles distant. Yorkshires Little Switzerland, the 80 gorge at How Stean is just a short drive north past Gouthwaite Reservoir with its rare species bird sanctuary. And Stump Cross Caverns, where some marvellous stalactites and stalagmites can be seen in all their glory, is a few minutes to the west along the B6265. Not one of natures glories but mans, Fountains Abbey, a World Heritage site, is only some six or seven miles from Pateley Bridge, as is the famous Ripley Castle. There is good walking for those wanting to enjoy the countryside on foot, including the 53 mile Nidderdale Way that starts and ends in the town. The River Nidd offers fishermen some good sport in season, with trout and grayling to be caught the Nidderdale AC can supply permits.

Our video is a guided walk in Upper Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales from a lovely little village called Conistone between Grassington and Kettlewell. We start at Conistone Bridge and make our way to the village then uphill to the top of the narrow gorge called The Dib. We keep going uphill along the Conistone Turf Road (Mossdale Scar and Caverns is to the right) until we go through Capplestone Gate at the top of the hill. We now turn left along the top of Conistone Moor passing through the old mines and shafts before descending to the Dales Way where we turn left following the Dales Way to the left of Conistone Pie. We then follow the track, Scot Gate Lane parallel with The Dib, downhill back into Conistone via St. Mary's Church. This is a moderate to hard walk on grass and stony tracks and public footpaths. There are some steep inclines and declines and one short rocky climb. Elevation: lowest point 183.30 metres (601.38 feet) highest point 514.70 metres (1685.65 feet).
