Underground, Overground, Wonderfully Free! Ingleton is one of those places that is beautiful at first glance and even more sensational when you scratch the surface - somewhat literally given its extensive cave system that adds another layer of appeal. The pretty village is a stone’s throw from the border of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, acting as a gateway to this amazing region. Not only is it a favourite holiday destination for people who enjoy being outdoors, but Ingleton is also a thriving community with an excellent array of amenities and cottages to rent that make it and the surrounding area the perfect choice for a holiday in every season.

Subterranean Secrets and Magnificent Mountains - Ingleton is at the foot of Ingleborough, which is one of Yorkshire’s famed Three Peaks and the route to the top is strenuous but rewarding, climbing 2,375 feet. Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside are both within striking distance of Ingleton. The Waterfalls Trail is another well-known path. Although there is a charge to access it, the amazing views more than equal the price. Other favourite paths include the Kingsdale walk, which passes by Yordas Cave and Rowten Pot, and the stunning footpath from Kirkby Lonsdale that leads to Ruskin’s View. Visitors who want to experience the breathtaking landscape without tiring their legs can go to Ribblehead Station, about six miles from Ingleton, and take a journey on the heritage Settle to Carlisle Railway.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park gives double the bang for your holiday buck as the scenery underground is as magnificent as that above. White Scar Cave and Ingleborough Cave are both only a short drive from the centre of Ingleton, the former boasting the status as the Longest Show Cave in England. The temperature underground rarely changes to make the caves an ideal all-weather attraction at any time of the year. Yordas Cave in Kingsdale is another subterranean treasure.
On Yer Bike! Yorkshire is a cyclist’s playground with world-class road loops and mountain bike trails.

Ingleton also has an indoor climbing centre, an outdoor adventure centre, a golf course and a heated outdoor swimming pool. There are also the Ribblehead Viaduct and the Force Gill Aqueduct both within a short drive of the town.
Day Trips - The beauty of Ingleton is that it is not only close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, but it is also handy for visiting Kendal and the southern Lake District. Drive half an hour north, and you can be stocking up on as much Kendal Mint Cake as you can carry, or climbing aboard a paddle steamer and sailing around Windermere. Grange-over-Sands and Morecambe Bay are within easy reach for a day at the seaside, and there is always the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to explore if you want further options.
The North of England is vast, with spectacular views and an amazing landscape. It has inspired authors and artists, providing a sense of space and calm that can be difficult to find in a busy, modern world.
