LINEAR WALK - PUBLIC TRANSPORT available between start and end of walk.
From the main entrance to Valley Gardens we walk along the Harrogate link path to reach the Ringway Path at Harlow Carr Gardens. We then head to Birks Crag and Oakdale Golf club. The path then takes us to Knox Ford and on to Nidd Viaduct where we will have lunch. We then follow the river to Nidd Gorge, the path then takes us across fields to Bilton Lane and Conyngham Hall where our walk finishes.
Many pubs and cafes are available in Knaresborough for refreshments. There are frequent buses to Harrogate where the 36 bus is available for Leeds or Ripon. Trains go direct from Knaresborough to Leeds.
If it's a nice summer evening, after refreshment in Knaresborough, you could walk back along the Beryl Burton Way. It's about 3 miles and brings you out at Asda in Harrogate
