November 17, 2023,Five waterfalls loop from Ingleton — Yorkshire Dales National Park

A spectacular hike past a number of waterfalls and great scenery. There is a £10 entrance fee to the walk but I believe the money goes towards the upkeep of the paths on what would be very precarious terrain without them. Impressive waterfalls, great views of Ingleborough and the peace and quiet of the dales once you get above the …

If you're after a walk with an excessive amount of waterfalls, then look no further.

Around waterfall 4 or 5 (I lost count) a rickety thin bridge has you dangling 50ft above one of the ice-age death canyons where thousands of gallons of water smash their way past jagged rocks below your feet 😬

I would highly recommend the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail walk. A great way to spend 3-4hours. The weather was perfect and most of the time we were by ourselves.
