Ingleton Waterfalls, Ingleborough
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2014 7:51 pm
Beautiful walk on the tourist trail (I found it better to think of the £6 as a parking charge rather than as 'paying for walking'! But it's well worth it, and it doubtless helps maintain the good steps and paths) through the woods and falls north of Ingleton. Get there soon after the 9am opening time and you get all the views to yourself. None of the falls are dauntingly high, but after a few days of even a little rain the frothy tumble down the valley is impressively powerful - although it needs Clivegrif's camera to do it proper justice!
Then up Ingleborough from the short western side - really kindly slab-pathed, even on the very steep stretch up to the escarpment, as all 'Yorkshire 3 Peaks' alumni know already. After that, it's easy but increasingly muddy walking down the long north ridge over Park Fell, and an awkward pathless thrash to cut back to the road.
