Ingleborough is a peak in the Yorkshire Dales . It is one of the so-called Three Peaks , the other two being Whernside and Pen-y-ghent . There are several popular routes to its summit. The most frequently-used starting point is probably the village of Ingleton , which lies about 6 Km to the southwest. The hill may also be climbed from Horton In Ribblesdale to the southeast, following a route crossing areas of Limestone Pavement . There is also a route from Clapham that passes Ingleborough Cave and the Pothole of Gaping Gill , and a northern route from the small village of Chapel-le-Dale . Ingleborough is frequently climbed as part of the ''Three Peaks Challenge'', which is a 24 Mile (38 km) circular challenge walk starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale. If done Anti-clockwise Ingleborough is the last hill climbed, and ascent is from Chapel-le-Dale. The name Ingleborough is derived from the Old English meaning "fort on the hill". On the top of Ingleborough the remains of an old walled enclosure has been discovered inside which foundations of huts have been found. GALLERY |
