Nidderdale (along the river Nidd) has been designated as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" and has every right to be included in any definition of the "classical" Yorkshire Dales...
...As a matter of convention, Nidderdale is often divided into what is arbitrarily known as "Upper Nidderdale" and "Lower Nidderdale" - lying upstream and downstream of Pateley Bridge, respectively.
(The Yorkshire Dales Site)

The magnificent Band Stand was built in 1998 in less than a week as a Yorkshire TV action time challenge. This involved the whole community including the local armed forces.

This gives an added attraction to tourism and during the summer, bands use it most Sunday afternoons.
