Ingleton
Ingleton is a beautiful Yorkshire Dales village nestled on the lower slopes of Ingleborough, one of Yorkshire’s famous Three Peaks.
Turn off the A65 and you will find yourself in the pretty village centre with a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants to explore and enjoy.
Ingleton also has a challenging indoor climbing and bouldering wall, cycle pump track, outdoor seasonal swimming pool and children’s riverside play area. There are many walks in the area, including the famous waterfalls trail and an opportunity to explore underground at White Scar Caves or by hiring one of the local guides to explore some of the extensive caving systems in the area. We are proud that Ingleton was voted as runner-up in the Countryfile Magazine Best Village award 2019 and was the only village in Yorkshire to make the shortlist.
For the more energetic, there are some excellent road and mountain bike routes to explore.
