This cute town in Yorkshire has the world's oldest sweet shop and is worth a trip this summer. According to a Yorkshire man, the sweet shop has unparalleled expertise in confectionery and is housed in a building dating back to the 1600s. The shop is located on Patery Bridge and dates back to 1827.
From bonbons to fudge and pear drops, there's everything you can imagine inside. The Patelly Bridge is an idyllic place, located in the heart of Nidderdale, a national landscape (formerly known as the area of outstanding natural beauty).
It makes a great place to use as a starting point for many stunning walks nearby.
