The author traces the valley's geological formation, the arrival and settlement of its first inhabitants, the subsequent Roman occupation, and its division into townships. The book also explores Nidderdale's medieval ownership by the Barons De Mowbray and the Abbeys of Byland and Fountains and provides a detailed account of the valley's mineral and agricultural industries. The author considers the valley's role in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the construction of the railway and the impact it had on the lives of Nidderdale residents. The volume concludes with an in-depth study of some of Nidderdale's most popular attractions including Stump Cross Caverns and the Brimham Rocks. Well-written and packed with fascinating and long-forgotten facts, this book paints a vivid picture of one of the most stunning valleys in God's own county.
