The Top 10 Gorges around Ingleton

Access: 🚗 c. 2miles from the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale 🥾 Alternatively, enjoy a 9 miles hike with just 2,000ft of total elevation from Horton-in-Ribblesdale, via Pen-y-Ghent

Good foot wear needed, uneven ground, alot of steps, some of which are quite steep. Amazing scenery and waterfalls. £11 entry includes parking.

Hull Pot is an amazing collapsed cavern that is now just an open limestone scar measuring 91 metres (300 feet) long by 18 metres (60 feet) deep. In dry weather, like today unfortunately, Hull Pot Beck goes underground before it gets to the rim, but in wet weather, it gives way overground to form a stunning waterfall. A stunning place to spend some time!

The gorge narrows as you walk along and at its narrowest point, you can take a detour down to the bridge that crosses the gorge. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s just a viewpoint, but it’s a breathtaking but slightly nervy view.

Part of the best route when ascending or descending Ingelborough. Well worth adding to your route and is one of my favourite circular Dales hikes

Add to your route if there has been heavy rainfall so you can admire this natural beauty

Lovely circular walk.plenty of waterfalls to see

One of the many waterfalls along the trial

Very impressive narrow gorge

A superb and easily accessible limestone gorge which narrows as you continue to walk through it. It's awe inspiring to look up at the trees clinging to the cliff tops above, and then to clamber up the slippery, foot-worn limestone at the end of the gill to top out again back to the real world.

Hull Pot, on the western side of Pen-y-Ghent, is a collapsed cavern, and an impressive hole measuring 91m (300ft) long by 18m (60ft) deep. In the late 18th century, in a guidebook published, it was called 'a Hulpit', and the author stated that it "would have appeared like the inside of an enormous old Gothic castle, the high ruinous walls of which were left standing after the roof was fallen in".

Wow Defo Looks Daunting at 1st but once you get going pick your own path then finished

The grass sides can be particularly slippery in or after the rain. So be careful when approaching the edge. Although the pot is beautiful in the sun, it comes alive after heavy rain when natural waterfalls form.

great views over the valley and towards one of Yorkshires 3 peaks Ingleton

Many waterfalls on this route with this gorge as well showing off what Ingleton has to offer.

watch you don't fall in

WOW...just WOW!! The most beautiful descent I've seen.. if the sun is out.. you've found a cycling heaven!!!

Probably the most beautiful place in England to ride a bike. The scenery, the road surface, good climbs, fast descents, the sounds of the river, it adds up to perfection

This path is currently closed because of Covid19. It is part of the famous Ingleton waterfalls walk and is one of the best walks of this nature in the UK. There is a fee to pay but really good facilities at the beginning and half way round, plus a refreshment spot near Thornton Force and an ice cream van on the link path between the two parts of the falls route. Highly recommended when it reopens.
