Went here with my son for a day out on the weekend. Parking is great, loads of spaces and had no trouble getting a spot. The inside of the building is a big mix of gift shop, cafe and check-in for the cave so it wasnt clear where we should have been going to get booked in. Once we found the check-in we purchased our ticket and the women who served us was incredibly nice and made us feel welcomed and excited to go down below. The cave it’s self it very tight but that is to be expected, there are a had full of seats while your down there if you need to sit down. Side note - don’t wear pants or shoes you don’t want to get dirty, the ground water has lime stone sediment in it so it will leave white marks on your shoes. The gift shop sells an incredible assortment of stones and crystals, it does say they are from the cave and suspect they aren’t. They don’t sell you standard gift shop items such as pens, pins and patches which is a shame because they are what most people collect as a reminder, I was looking to buy all 3 but ended up leaving with no souvenirs. Overall it was a pleasent experience, mainly due to the quality of the cave and the customer service of the staff. The contents of the shop could do with expanding as if you don’t like stones to buy them you don’t have anything to buy essentially.

We visited today with our 4 year old boys. What a fantastic experience! We have loved it all. We ventured in to the caves first and due to timing we managed the first half with the lights on then the walk back was in the dark with the UV torch. The kids loved it. The cafe offers great food at really reasonable prices. The staff here are so polite and pleasant and they really engaged with the children. We took part in cracking open a Geode and also panned for gems. We will absolutely return here! High recommend it

Absolutely fantastic day took my 5 year old daughter as I hadn’t been since I was her age and she absolutely loved every minute of it. The geode cracking was probably the stand out part of the day. All the staff were super friendly even in the reception area which was a bit chaotic but they were happy to help and point you in the right direction, the fossil dig was brilliant as well and then of course the caves themselves where brilliant and my daughter loved looking for the answers to the fairy door quiz. Would definitely recommend and will also definitely be back.

First time visiting Stump Cross Caverns and we absolutely loved it. The caves, especially under the UV torch looked so magical. Such a rare and amazing experience. Visited with my husband, 3 year old son & 1 year old daughter and they were all equally amazed. The staff were very nice, helpful and friendly, especially Dave. Would highly recommend. We are already planning our next family day out to visit again !

Second time visiting and still a wonderful experience. Brought our 2 grandchildren aged 9 and 7, both of whom have interest in fossils, dynasties and rocks. They loved it. Add the brilliant food and different setting-wild and windy and it’s got be be a 10/10. Credit to owners. We will be back! Chris and Bernadette in 70’s

Fantastic experience underground. Sadly I suffer from a bad back and there is a lot of low headroom areas so I had to double back halfway through as my back was hurting and I didn't was the embarrassment of calling out cave rescue. Nevertheless it was a great experience especially for children. The staff were warm and welcoming and there is a cafe there which appears popular with locals and visitors alike ..it is in the middle of nowhere...some amazing views.

A great place to spend an hour. We had a great time exploring the caves. They give you UV torches to use and the caves glow. It is very low in places. So you do have to be pretty agile to get through. My tall husband was very glad of the hard hats we had to wear. All in all a great place to visit. We paid £51 for a family of 4 and I think that's a fair price. And there is a cafe there too. We didn't use it so I can't comment on the food but it was very busy there.

Very spectacular artistic installation with a terrace overlooking the quarry. There's a rich history of this place as well as a showcase of environmental awareness of the quarry management. Well worth a stop to learn something and see interesting views. Parking is free, you need to walk up a bit. Not really well suited for wheelchair users as the path is rocky.

Lovely views. Nice little walk not too much oh a hard walk if you take ylur time. Nice bits to read for infortmation at the top. Quarry looks beautiful. Parking can be limited when busy on sunny weekends.

Huge art installation overlooking an active quarry, with a host of information boards covering the history of stone quarrying and industrial processing in the area. It's the highest public artwork in the UK, situated at 1,375 feet above sea level, and is the work of Andrew Sabin. The installation features high walls, curved walkways and viewing platforms, forming a striking shape that's most easily appreciated from the air. The views over the surrounding area are extensive, with Harrogate and RAF Menwith Hill easily visible on a clear day. The Coldstones Cut also offers an unusual view of a functioning quarry, situated right above the site. It's rare to be able to get this close to a working site and see quarrying operations in action. There's a decent size parking area with an honesty box (cash only) for donations towards upkeep. The walk from here takes no more than 10 minutes, and passes the remains of Toft Gate Lime Kiln. Together, these landmarks make for an interesting and educational little walk.

Very interesting stone sculpture. There's a good steep walk-up, but the views are fantastic. You can actually see down into the quarry which is still working

A *somewhat* unexpected gem! I came across Coldstones Cut when doing a Google search for local places of interest for a recent stay in Pateley Bridge. Myself and my partner chose to visit this prior to a visit to another local attraction. This is located in a beautiful piece of the Yorkshire Dales! Be warned, there is a steep incline up to the location, but it is 100% worth it! The area is an art installation and although I won't pretend to understand its meaning, despite reading all the information, all I can say is that it's insanely beautiful up there. Yes, it was windy and a small chill in the air, and even on a cloudy day, the views were stunning. It is also an educational experience with the boards around that discuss the quarry, the minerals and more. All I'll say is, take your time and enjoy it!

Very interesting view and art installation but haven't got a clue what it's about. quite steep walk up but saw an absolute beast go up in his mobility scooter. for car park look for brown sign, at the lime kiln. it's amazing watching the quarry and trying to figure out the scale as it's over 100m deep.

Fantastic views from the top. Worth the 600 meters to the top. Fascinating view of the mine. it's free but only has a small carpark.

Amazing selection if on the pricey side. Lovely staff

Had to stop off and take a look around it's a nice little Sweet shop with quite a lot of variety to choose from friendly staff to help out would definitely recommend coming 👌

Took my daughter and granddaughter. My youngest daughter couldn't believe the sweets. Why most shops have to sell sweets that taste of nothing. A must if you are visiting Pateley

I done an online order, which they got wrong, there was no would you like the original sent, just had an email saying they sent the right item, it was definitely the wrong item, I did receive another item which was right but if I has wanted crumbs I would not have wasted my money here. I should have read the reviews on Trustpilot, won’t make that mistake then. Shame customer service no longer exists.

Lovely fresh sweets. Well packed and delivered quickly. I bought barley sugar, rhubarb and custard, sasperella tablets and they came in big bags and are full of taste. Will be ordering every month from now on. Such a large range to choose from.

Great experience. Prices reasonable to be fair. They also sell specialist local ales. I bought a rarely found beer - Plum Porter. Friendly service as well.

Just like the rest of the town absolutely enchanting.

Fantastic museum run entirely by volunteers. Very well laid out and lots to cover. Mostly local history - which there is plenty!

Great history of the region around Pately Bridge, with lifelike displays showing how life was like at the turn of the 19th centuty

Whilst having a weekend break in North Yorkshire i discovered what I feel is a hidden gem of local history. Value for money at £5 per adult gets you an insight into how the locals lived during Victorian times, war times and life in general in the black n white days so to speak. The museum is split into sections each unique in its own right. Lots of local photos help you paint a picture. There is the first TV that was purchased in the area at a cost of £85 which in today's money is circa £3000. They have set sections up to look like it did in the day, a shop, a solicitors, a living room, etc etc Staff are very enthusiastic local volunteers who can't wait to tell you some of the history. Definitely worth a visit if you're staying in the area or just passing through

Large and interesting museum all about the local dale. It was bigger than we thought and the rooms are broken down into themes. Really gives you an insight in the past and what life was like. There is a lot to take in and you could easily spend half a day or more here if you wanted. Very friendly and enthusiastic volunteers as well. Entry is only £5 for adults. Well worth a visit!

I don't usually write reviews but wanted to thank the lovely volunteers for making us so welcome today. They were great and even gave my two young daughters some knitted dolls to take away - so kind. Fantastic staff aside, this is an excellent museum - well curated exhibits and displays. Entertaining enough for a casual visit but also a lot of detailed local history if you have the time to delve deeper. £5 for adults and kids free is great value too. Will definitely return.

Fabulous museum, well worth a visit

We spent a lovely couple of hours in this charming museum. Our son really enjoyed the trail and we all learned a lot from the exhibits and the very enthusiastic volunteers. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place full of piece and quiet. Nice places for picnic and lovely walks. Good sized car park too. Water level was a bit low when I visited.

Stunning reservoir. Free carpark next to the reservoir. Four mile walk round Scar House Reservoir, and another three if you want to add on Angram. Lots of footpaths around to head up to the surrounding moorland.

Good walking path on a circular route, can include Angram if you want to add the miles. Very peaceful area, free car parking

Metalled paths on one side of reservoir so fairly goog for wheelchairs. Cafe on site open 1000 till 1400. Can be cold up there.

Went when it was so dry but amazing to see what was hidden by the usual water level

Fantastic place for walking, car park is free and at weekends there is a small cafe open for drinks n snacks. Most of the walks are around the Reservoir and with excellent signposting, it's easy to get around. The main route is suitable for those with disabilities or buggies as the path is pretty flat and easily accessible. The top end though can be quite wet and boggy, but there are also other paths to follow and great for exploring either on foot or on wheels.

We had a lovely walk over the bridge to the other side... its a really peaceful place, so quiet and beautiful.

We are now collectors of NS artwork. Just visited today and purchased two more pictures. His work is modern but only in the sense that you can understand where he is coming from! Look at the website and see if you might like his work before you visit, but a visit is highly recommended Neil is a very nice man not what one might expect from an artist! His gallery is worth the visit an old chapel in Yorkshire and hear Neil’s story.

We spent a good hour or so walking around Neil Simone’s Old Chapel Gallery at Main Street, Glasshouses, just outside Pateley Bridge. Not knowing what to expect when we entered, we were immediately amazed by his imaginative work. Every landscape was so absorbing with Neil’s quirky and humorous imagination clearly expressed within every painting. Neil was there at hand to tell us how his own particular style developed. You don’t have to be a professional artist to appreciate art. And you don't have to get wet on a rainy day in the Yorkshire Dales. So marry up these two simple thoughts and pop along to Neil’s gallery and I promise that you will leave with a smile and possibly a print or an original tucked under your arm. Thank you for your time Neil and for a really enjoyable visit. Eddie & Maralyn from Kent

Great Gallery of Neils work. It is a wonderful space with lots of pieces on show. We were lucky enough to be the only visitors so got a personal guided tour by Neil. Just have to find space on the wall for the 1 pieces we bought.

Went today with my elderly dad and his brother. Neil showed us round his gallery. Wonderful talent, wonderful paintings, and lovely man.

Not expecting to actually meet Neil who gave us a guided tour of his gallery - he and his gallery genuinely deserve a visit.

Great artist. Excellent. Well worth a visit.

Love my new Neil Simone print. Thank you
