Hiking

The Ingleborough summit richly rewards all those who conquer it with a magnificent panoramic view of Whernside, Pen-y-Ghent, Pendle Hill, out into Morecambe Bay and over to the Lakeland hills. It is, quite simply, glorious. At 2,372 feet (723 m) high, Ingleborough is the second-highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales and is usually the final summit climbed on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge route.

Hiking

Great views all around from here on a clear day, just watch the wind as you can take a bit if a battering with the hills unique flat top. Also pay attention to the route you took to the top as getting off the same way if you are not paying attention can be hard work.

Hiking

There’s a reason Ingleborough represents Yorkshire’s Three Peaks in this list. Characterised by its eroded and exposed layers of millstone grit, shale, sandstone and stream-swallowing limestone, and home to caves and the remains of Iron Age settlements, an ascent of this icon is an exploration of the history of the Dales’ people and landscape.
