Brilliant cave that if you get there early enough you will have it entirely to yourself like I did

The skyline above Settle makes for a tremendous day out for hikers. There is no central peak to go for, just a jagged collection of rocky high points that make for a really good walk, but you will find a trig point on Warrendale Knotts. You will find a lot of caves in the area too due to the terrain being dominated by limestone, and nearby Victoria Cave is the largest of these caves. All in all, Attermire Scar is an impressive geological feature.

Be prepared to get muddy, protect your head and take a torch.

Slippery when wet! Worth the walk up to it

Worth a visit you have to pay on this route

Never been in .but would love to

Specular limestone waterfall which is understandably popular and gets very busy. For the best experience, visit on a wet and blustery autumn or winter's day when not only will the waterfall be in full flow, but you might actually get to see it without all the 'wild swimming' instagrammers

Worth the short diversion off the path.

Arriving at a style gate, pass through and enter thick woodlands where you’ll be in earshot of Janet’s Foss — sounds guiding you to the final destination: a hidden waterfall and plunge pool hemmed in by trees that feels a million miles from the stress and strains of modern life.

A very pretty walk, so many different views and then leading into a forest where the fall is. A lovely easy walk on its own.

Perfect for a dip! Deep enough to dive into when the water level is high (we saw someone do it!)

Stunning waterfall but very busy and lots of wild swimmers

Discovered in 1837 by Victorian explorers, Ingleborough Cave is a beguiling place to visit. The caverns are a delight to explore, taking you 0.3 miles (0.5 km) underground to many fascinating rock formations. Admission comes at a cost, though you do not need to pre-book.

Amazing series of caves in Langcliffe Scar above Settle. Discovered in 1837, the cave was found to contain fossils dating back 130,000 years ago from animals including mammoths, hippo, spotted hyenas, bears and reindeer. Later deposits dated after the last ice age found a harpoon head carved from antler and flint tools, a material that doesn't naturally occur in the area.

If you turn right as you are leaving Janet's Foss you can down over the Foss into the pool below.

Always picturesque and a popular photo opportunity

Don't miss the cave to the right 😉

This waterfall and path get very busy.

The Giggleswick Scar, a large limestone outcrop that runs for approximately a mile just outside Settle, marks a length of the South Craven Fault. It's festooned with caves and trees, and is quite the imposing edifice to eat your sandwiches underneath.

Janet's Foss is a beautiful waterfall nestled among trees on the footpath from Malham Village to Gordale Scar. You can splash around in the waterfall and its plunge pool, making it a popular spot, especially at peak times (weekends, warm weather, bank holidays etc).
