THE walk to Ingleborough from Clapham has been named amongst the top best mountain walks in the UK.
The Sunday Times included the route in a list of seven best mountain walks for a weekend away, alongside Quiraing circuit, Skye, Highland; Vale of Edale circuit, Peak District, Derbyshire; and Mosedale Horseshoe, Lake District, Cumbria.
In the article, the newspaper says how author and walker Alfred Wainwright called the route from Clapham “the finest of all, a classic”, adding: "Since then, the second-highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales has improved thanks to the Wild Ingleborough conservation project.
"You’ll walk to discover a greatest hits of Dales scenery, including Ingleborough Cave and Trow Gill gorge; superb views over broad-shouldered, muscular hills from the summit; then limestone pavement at Sulber Nick."
The most popular route to Ingleborough from Clapham is via the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail, which includes a cafe and the show cave. Find out more at: https://ingleboroughestatenaturetrail.co.uk/
