8th January 2015 - Ingleton Falls

Walk Details

Distance walked: 4.0 miles

Total ascent: 924 ft

OS map used: OL2 - Yorkshire Dales, Southern & Western areas

Time taken: 3 hrs

Route description: Ingleton-Ingleton Waterfalls Trail-Ravenray Bridge-Twisleton Hall-Oddie's Lane-Ingleton Waterfalls Trail-Ingleton

This was the second time that I've walked the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and I enjoyed it as much as the first time round. Maybe even more, following recent rain the falls were more impressive. There's fantastic scenery to see round every corner as you walk up the valley of the River Twiss and down that of the River Doe.

The trail is on private land and in many places has been constructed and has to be maintained so a fee is charged for access. Current prices are as follows and haven't changed since my last visit in October 2013:

Adult ticket (16 and over)                              £6
Child ticket (under 16)                                   £3
Family ticket (2 adults and up to 3 children)  £14

From the trail car park I followed the path up Swilla Glen to the bridleway under Twisleton Scar End. I then followed the bridleway past Twisleton Hall down to Oddie's Lane to reach the second half of the trail back to Ingleton.
