Overview

An ascent of one of the Yorkshire three peaks, Pen Y Ghent, from Horton in Ribblesdale. Taking in views of the neighbouring Ingleborough peak and the rocky Hull Pot formation.

Walk distance is 6 miles but has an ascent of 500m, so is likely to take 3.5 to 4.5 hours to complete.

Weather in May is likely to be warm and we will be exposed, so make sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection.

Starting point will be the Horton-in-Ribblesdale train station. The 09:19am Carlisle bound service from Leeds arrives at Horton-in-Ribblesdale at 10:30am.

Horton-in- Ribblesdale has a small amount of parking at the train station and a large Yorkshire dales national car park towards the centre.

Please note there are no toilet facilities at Horton-in-Ribblesdale station, but are available at the Yorkshire dales national car park we will be passing.
