Nidd is a small village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. The population of the village taken at the 2011 census was 168.[1] It is situated 3 miles north of Harrogate, 1.2 miles (2 km) east of Ripley[2] on the B6165 Pateley Bridge to Knaresborough road and near the River Nidd. The village used to have a railway station (Nidd Bridge) on the Leeds to Northallerton Railway, but this was closed down on 18 June 1962.[3]

The village takes its name from the River Nidd which passes through the parish.[4] The parish church of St Paul & St Margaret[5] has a stone monument to the Rawson family who owned Nidd Hall in the 19th and the early part of the 20th centuries. Nidd Hall is a former country house which has been converted into an hotel.[6]
