August Walks from Ingleton on the Edge of the Yorkshire Dales

and will take place on

Saturday 13th August 2011

0800hrs prompt from short stay car park in the village

The village of Ingleton is surrounded by magnificent countryside with caves, waterfalls, and mountains. The Craven Fault crosses the area, and geological and archaeological sites abound.

Local attractions include:

The underground world of White Scar Cave, Britain's longest show cave The Waterfalls Walk through woodland gorges with spectacular waterfalls (below) Limestone peaks and scenery, with a direct route for the ascent of Ingleborough (above) The nearby Settle-Carlisle railway and the famous Ribblehead viaduct

Ingleton has a wide range of accommodation, and is well placed for visiting the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, and the coast at Morecambe and Blackpool.
The A65 Leeds-Lakes road now by-passes Ingleton, which is only 16 miles from Hawes in Wensleydale and a similar distance to Lancaster.
Ingleton lies on one of the principal East-West routes across the Pennines used from prehistoric and Roman times. The remains of an Iron Age fort can be seen on the summit plateau of Ingleborough, at 723 metres (2372 feet), the best known of Yorkshire's Three Peaks. The ascent is by a relatively easy path from the village.
