Two miles from Pateley Bridge, the park is situated in Merryfield Glen with Foster Beck running down its length. Beautiful countryside surrounds the park; the popular Nidderdale Way runs through it.
Just above the park up Mortey's Hill is a lovely walk along Merryfield Glen to the disused Prosperous Lead Mines. If feeling energetic there is a 6-8 mile circular walk back to the park via Greenhow and Pateley Bridge.
Also at the bottom of Merryfield Glen down a private road is the Bridge Inn; great for food & drink, and also live music in the Summer if that's your thing.
