Horton-in-Ribblesdale to Garsdale
Ribblehead to Horton-in-Ribblesdale
Both natural beauty and historical interest abound; the view back to Pen-y-ghent was really impressive. A valley walk that weaves from one side of the railway to the other, with enough height gained for good views. Field paths and limestone pavement and a stretch of B-road; a National Nature Reserve path that is stony and rough at times with stone paving across boggier sections. Gates including one with steps. Crosses a level crossing. Passes through the Wild Ingleborough National Nature Reserve, with wild flowers and moorland birds. Weaves across the Settle-Carlisle Railway and passes railway cottages, an old limekiln and a 17th-century farmhouse. An optional diversion via Alum Pot crosses private land with a suggested honesty-box donation.
Warnings: Care needed on the busy B-road from Ribblehead towards Selside, with several stretches lacking verges or shoulders.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
