Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail
About
Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail is the gateway to some of the U.K’s most stunning limestone scenery including Ingleborough Cave, Trow Gill gorge, Gaping Gill pothole, limestone pavements, the Norber Erratics and ultimately the summit of Ingleborough, the finest of the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks. Our dog friendly, woodland trail wends its way just over a mile, past the lake, the money tree and Aunt Bessie’s Grotto, before emerging at the imposing entrance to Ingleborough Cave and connecting with public footpaths that ultimately lead up Ingleborough mountain. With walks of varied difficulty, it is perfect for the whole family! Alfred Wainwright, the esteemed guidebook author and illustrator, once said that it is every Yorkshire persons duty to climb Ingleborough at least once in their lifetime. He considered this the standout walk in the Dales and described the route up Ingleborough as “the finest of all, a classic”.
