ImageThe Heritage Centre first opened to the general public on October 12th 1998 along with the already well established Tourist Information facility which relocated into the Centre.

It is now able to offer a wealth of information on the Town's history as well as giving invaluable advice on what to visit in the area and further afield.The Heritage Centre provides a modern day learning experience. Many of the exhibits are geared towards children and are very much hands on - for example: the Roman Archaeology sand pit where coins and a skull can be uncovered and the brass rubbing table where budding artists can create their own master pieces to take home.

Featured Attraction

 How Stean Gorge

 Sample Image

How Stean is a spectacular limestone gorge, situated in an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty,  in the very heart of Nidderdale among lush green pastures. Known as 'Yorkshire's Little Switzerland'  to the Victorians, the Gorge is crossed by narrow bridges between the rocky paths that lead down and across the rock face. The scenery is breathtaking, and the beck that runs through the Gorge can be anything from a gentle stream to a raging gushing torrent - depending on the rainfall and time of year.
