Nidderdale Museum sits in the village of Pateley Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales, and brings to life over 200 years of rural history through thousands of objects displayed in original settings, including a complete 1820s cobbler's shop, a Victorian parlour, a general store and an old school room. It's a good fit for anyone curious about local heritage or tracing family history, with special research sessions opening up the museum's archives. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and based in the former Pateley Bridge Union Workhouse. If you're staying in the area, High and Low Bishopside has 32 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, with Harrogate station around 11.1 miles away for onward travel.
