Mountains, forests and rough terrain, we have a variety of areas to test your bike adrenaline.

WALKING

The Land of Caves and Waterfalls has the perfect walk for you whether you're looking for a stroll, hike or marathon. 

Westhouse Walks - Gentle strolls between 3 and 5 miles over beautiful countryside, starting from the site entrance on well marked paths.

Ingleton Waterfall Trail - a more ambitious 5 mile strenuous hike up stone steps, through forest paths, over river bridges past 6 sets of stunning waterfalls.  Wear walking boots, take water and a little towel. 

3 Peaks - The Yorkshire three peaks can be tackled from Ingleton giving a 30 mile marathon route including 1500m of climbing up Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside. Or you could just try Ingleborough to give you a taste before committing to all three! Make sure you have planned your route carefully, have plenty of food and clothing supplies as it gets very cold at the top.
