The Three Peaks Of Yorkshire- Ingleborough
Now that youve tackled both Pen-y-ghent and
Whernside, Ingleborough awaits. Since its been
several hours since you set off and have climbed
2 of the 3 peaks in the route, youre likely to
feel tired, if not exhausted. However, it should
be noted that despite the fact that Ingleborough
is taller than Pen-y-ghent by about 30 metres,
its an easier climb but it wont feel like
that. Many people state that Ingleborough is the
toughest climb out of all of the peaks, so be
prepared. On a clear day, you can see
Ingleborough from the summit of Whernside,
sticking out from the surrounding moorland. The
main path down from Whernside is a slow, steady
descent until you reach the road leading to the
Old Hill Inn. An inconspicuous gate takes you off
the road and back onto the trail leading to
Ingleborough. A long route over rolling farmland
will lead you to a sign stating youre 2 miles
from Ingleboroughs summit, and a stone path
leading the way to the foot of the peak. While
the initial climb up the steep ridge at the foot
of the peak may not look too difficult in
pictures, this is where the built-up fatigue
really starts to kick in, and the short climb
feels like youre scaling Everest. However, after
that point, the path becomes far more manageable
and you can get a sense of just how challenging
this route can be.

The rocky ascent up Ingleborough gives you an
amazing view of Yorkshire and on a clear day you
can see as far as North Wales, with the prominent
peak of Manod Mawr in Snowdonia over 100 miles
away being clearly visible. While reaching the
peak, youll notice a large rock jutting out of
the surrounding rubble this is the fork in the
road leading from the summit back down to
Horton-in-Ribblesdale, the village where you
started. The final ascent of Ingleborough will
once again test your stamina and scrambling
skills, but once youre past it, youll finally
reach the final peak and get an amazing view of
the surrounding countryside from southern
Scotland to the fells of Cumbria all the way to
the massifs of Wales in the far distance, the
summit of Ingleborough is your final stop and the
jewel in the 3 Peaks crown. Only the route back
to Horton remains NY3P is dedicated to giving
both novice and experienced hikers a challenge
