In the shadows of mighty Ingleborough in the Three Peaks, is the picturesque little market town of Ingleton, surrounded by natural wonders, both above and below ground. It makes an ideal place for leisurely walks or the challenge of the Three Peaks, plus there are trails for cyclists and mountain bikers.
Or how about an underground adventure! – amazing show caves offer a safe way to see the Dales underworld, while for the more experienced, local instructors can take you potholing! For those who prefer to remain above ground, there are instructors to take you climbing, abseiling or even paragliding! There are three golf courses nearby , an outdoor swimming pool and the fish are plentiful in the Ingleton’s rivers.
For the less adventurous, the market place has an open-air market on Fridays and there are galleries, craft workshops, gift shops, a variety of 16th century buildings (including the charming church of St. Mary’s with its 800 year old Norman font) and plenty of places to eat, drink and stay overnight.
Nearby attractions include, Ingleton Waterfalls – follow the falls as they tumble through delightful wooded gorges. White Scar Cave, featuring underground waterfalls, echoing caverns and thousands of amazing stalactites. The famous 440 yard long Ribblehead Viaduct on the nearby Settle-Carlisle Railway has 24 arches and is 100 feet high. The 17th century chapel at Chapel-le-Dale has a monument to those who helped in the construction of the railway during the 1870’s.
