Heritage Looking Forward

Unique, distinctive and historic, Upper Nidderdale has a vibrant heritage that is precious to both local residents and visitors alike.

Our vision is to preserve, protect and strengthen the wealth of living heritage across this remote rural updale community. With historic buildings, nature and landscapes, hill farming and an industrial past, Upper Nidderdale has a rich history to be sustained, developed and championed for the benefit of both residents and visitors to this special place.

People and Place

With community at the heart of all that we do, our projects will give people the time, space and opportunity to come together to explore and celebrate the living heritage of the area. Local groups can access support to grow and develop their objectives, improve sustainability and enrich their local community, and visitors will be encouraged to deepen their understanding of this special environment and engage with local community initiatives in a positive and sustainable way.
