Ingleton is a small market town of character and history
at the foot of Ingleborough on the edge of the Yorkshire
Dales. It
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. It is a
long established Yorkshire Dales tourist location, with
lots to see and do, both from the village and nearby..it
is an acknowledged centre for walking, caving and the
great outdoors.The famous Ingleton Waterfalls Walk takes
you through wooded valleys, across the open fells and
past numerous waterfalls that change almost daily as the
river levels rise and fall. You can climb Ingleborough or
Whernside, or ascend Twissleton Scar to the amazing
limestone `pavement` from where there are outstanding
views of the Yorkshire Dales. .....or you can descend
into White Scar Cave, one of the longest show caves in
England......Ingleton has a variety of shops, a number of
pubs and cafes plus a wide range of accommodation. It is
the perfect centre for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, the
Lake District and the Trough of Bowland and is an ideal
place for a full weeks holiday.
