Nidderdale Greenway Extension There has been an ambition for at least 25 years to have a path – the Nidderdale Greenway Extension - from Harrogate through Nidderdale to Pateley Bridge and as far as Scar House Reservoir. The current Greenway opened in 2014 from Harrogate to Ripley and is very popular with walkers, cyclists, wheelchair users and horse riders of all ages and abilities.
