WALK DETAILS

380 Ingleton Waterfalls

All the excitement of a spectacular show cave, but in the open air - that's the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. Each of the falls is dramatic in its own right, leaping, crashing and splashing down a tree-shrouded valley. There's a gorge so deep and black the sun never reaches its depths, but best of all is Thornton Force, set centre stage in a magnificent amphitheatre, where the River Twiss throws itself into space.
