The Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk is a very demanding but rewarding walk, which takes in the summits of Ingleborough (723 metres  2,372 feet) Whernside (736 metres - 2,415 feet), Pen-y-ghent (694 metres - 2,276 feet) and all in one circular route. The starting point is Horton-in-Ribblesdale, taking in the summits in the order shown above.

Looking up at Pen-y-ghent

The walk is 24.5 miles (39.2km) long and takes in over 5,000 feet (1,600 metres) of climbing. The walking is over a variety of terrains, and even though the paths have been improved immensely over recent years, certain sections can still be very boggy and energy sapping.
