Ingleborough (723m) is the second highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks but for many it is the most interesting to walk on. Ingleborough has several ridges and approach routes, great expanses of limestone pavements, and the entrance to the famous cavern Gaping Gill. Whichever route you choose, there is plenty to see on Ingleborough. Like Pen y Ghent and Whernside, Ingleborough is composed chiefly of limestone. This is the rock most closely associated with the Yorkshire Dales. However, all three peaks have a ‘cap’ of gritstone which is immediately noticeable when you reach it. On our guided walks, we explain what has caused this.

Navigating off the summit of Ingleborough in poor visibility requires care and attention. There are many mountain rescue call-outs here for walkers taking the wrong route.
