Ingleton

North Yorkshire






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.
