Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
Recommended by
Overview
As a year-round attraction, visitors have plenty of opportunities to see seasonal changes in the Ingleton landscape, and find something new and interesting whatever the weather. The trail takes in a number of waterfalls, the largest of which is Thornton Force that falls 14 metres over limestone. Other falls include Hollybush Spout and Pecca Falls. There is also plenty of interesting flora and fauna; the area has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The trail follows a well-defined footpath over moderately inclined ground, and a large number of steps are provided for any steeper climbs. Unfortunately the footpath is unsuitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
