You'll climb Ingleborough, the second highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales and one of the famous Three Peaks, on a guided walk through dramatic limestone country. Pavements, scars, and wide views across Ribblesdale make this a classic Dales summit day with real character on every step.
Your guide leads the best route to the summit from Ingleton, Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Ribblehead or Clapham based on conditions and how the group is moving. You'll cross varied terrain from valley paths through limestone scars to the rocky summit plateau, with steady pacing and regular stops throughout the day.
Your instructor manages safety on steep sections and exposed ground near the top, sharing local knowledge of the Three Peaks landscape and adapting the line if Dales weather changes during the ascent.
Ingleborough dominates the western Dales above Ingleton and Horton-in-Ribblesdale, with quieter approaches from Clapham adding variety to the classic Ribblesdale lines. Each start point offers a different perspective on the limestone country, from deep valleys to open moorland and the distinctive summit plateau.
We confirm your meeting point once your walk date is set, with full directions sent ahead of the day so you know exactly where to arrive in this popular Three Peaks area.
You'll want good fitness for a full day on the fells with significant ascent and rocky terrain near the summit. Previous hill walking experience is recommended, along with full waterproof kit, sturdy boots, and enough food and water for six to eight hours on the hill.
Mention any fitness concerns when you get in touch so we can choose the most suitable approach and keep the day enjoyable for everyone in the group.
Ingleborough's many approach paths and exposed summit plateau are easier to enjoy with a guide who knows the best lines and can adapt to changing Dales weather without losing time on navigation. We choose routes that suit the forecast and your group's experience rather than simply following the busiest path.
Our qualified mountain leaders keep the pace supportive from valley to summit, so you can focus on the dramatic limestone scenery and the wide views across Ribblesdale on clear days.
We choose the approach and meeting point based on conditions, parking, and group fitness. Classic routes include ascents from Ingleton via Crina Bottom, from Horton-in-Ribblesdale via Simon Fell, and from Clapham via the classic valley route.
Full route details and directions arrive before your walk day so you know where to meet and what terrain to expect.
Ingleborough is a full day on the fells with significant ascent and rocky terrain near the summit. You should be comfortable walking for six to eight hours on paths and open moorland without difficulty.
Previous hill walking experience is recommended. Get in touch when arranging your day if you are unsure about suitability.
This is a standalone guided ascent of Ingleborough, one of the three summits in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge. A single-day Ingleborough walk lets you enjoy one summit at a more relaxed pace than the full challenge.
If you want to walk all three peaks together, see our Yorkshire Three Peaks Guided Walk with one, two, and three day options.
Walks run in most Dales weather but your guide may adjust or postpone if conditions make the summit plateau unsafe. High winds and poor visibility on exposed limestone pavement require careful judgement on the day.
We contact you before your walk if a significant change is needed.
