Enjoy A Great Day Out...
How Stean Gorge is a spectacular limestone gorge, lying hidden amid Nidderdale's lush green pastures. Narrow paths and footbridges cut through the steep-sided ravine which is 80 feet deep in places. Water rushes over the large boulders carving them into fantastic shapes. In the calmer waters fish hide in the shade of the overhanging rocks.
How Stean Gorge offers a range of activities including:
Caving
Gorge Walking
Potholing
Cycle Hire
In addition, the licenced restaurant serves home cooked meals and 'Sunday Lunch' everyday, and offers home-made cakes, lunches and teas.

The strange configurations of Joan Miro coming 7th June 2008
Joan Miró was one of the creative giants of 20th century art. Drawing on his fantastic universe of signs and symbols, he was able to create a magical world populated by strange configurations in vivid colours. He made many prints throughout his career, their accessibility being strongly in keeping with his socialist principles.
Miró was born in Spain in 1893, but from his mid 20s spent much of his time in Paris. His early work showed the influence of various modern movements – Fauvism, Cubism (he was a friend of Picasso) and Dadaism – but he was particularly associated with the Surrealists. Throughout his career Miró remained true to the basic Surrealist principle of releasing the creative forces of the unconscious mind from the control of logic and reason.
