0800hrs prompt from the short stay car park

Horton-in-Ribblesdale is a village in the Yorkshire Dales National Park close to the source of the River Ribble. It is a popular base for walkers, many of whom are completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge Walk over Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside. People frequently start this walk from Horton-in-Ribblesdale's Pen-y-ghent Cafe as a challenge in under 12 hours, or more leisurely over 2 or 3 days. Being within the limestone area of the Yorkshire Dales Horton-in-Ribblesdale is also popular with cavers, pot-holers and anyone looking for beautiful countryside. 

 

Pot Holers we passed in 2003

Fine walking routes head westwards over to Moughton Scar, Crummackdale, Austwick and Clapham, northwards up to Sulber for Ingleborough or Ribblehead, eastwards over Pen-y-ghent and Fountains Fell along the Pennine Way to Malham, and southwards along the Ribble Way to Settle. 

Club Walk in 2003

The village offers excellent facilities for walkers, including the celebrated Pen-y-ghent Café and shop, the official starting and timing point for the Three Peaks Walk.

There will be three walks:

• A Walk led by: Peter Hitchcock
• B Walk led by: Gwyn Jones
