A 78-year old walker was rescued from Malham Cove after becoming ill while she was crossing the limestone pavement.
Members of the Cave Rescue Organisation went to the woman's aid after receiving a call on Sunday afternoon.
A CRO spokesperson said: "A female walker, 78, was ill near the middle of the limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove.
"Team members assessed her before helping her on to a stretcher. She was wheeled/carried to a team vehicle and driven down to Malham car park. After a further assessment by the team doctor, she re-joined her many companions on their coach for the return home.
"We wish the casualty a speedy recovery and hope she is back out on the hills with her friends soon."
