Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
A roughly 8 km circular trail following two wooded gorges past more than a dozen waterfalls, most famously the broad Thornton Force.
The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail has been open to visitors since 1885. The circular route runs about 8 km through two wooded gorges along the Twiss and Doe rivers, passing the Pecca Falls, Thornton Force (where you can walk behind the falls), Beezley Falls and Snow Falls, among others. The full loop has steps and uneven ground and takes 3 to 4 hours, so wear non-slip shoes. It is a privately run trail, with adult tickets around £10. The entrance is in the village of Ingleton, which has a car park and café. The trail stays open in winter too, though it closes during heavy rain when paths become unsafe.
