Nappa Homepage


This is the ford at Nappa where since ancient times the River Ribble has been crossed. It is at the end of the bridleway from Paythorne where today two mountain bikers were to follow the footsteps of ancient travellers across the stepping stones. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rains of recent weeks the run-off from the fells has brought the river into spate, the cyclists will have to return in drier weather.

Dist:0.9km<br/>According to the OS map there is a building beside the minor road between Gargrave and the A682 at Nappa. It is named Hills Hey on both the 1940s map and the current 1/25,000 map. Was it a house or was it a barn? Whatever it was it was to be the feature for this grid square. And so it will be, as a pile of rubble

Dist:1.0km south<br/>For very short stretch of its two mile length between Nappa and Hoober Farm this bridleway has been surfaced to allow the farmer easier access into his/her fields. View looking north - the bridleway continues unsurfaced northwards where the surfaced track veers east and stops.
