Self-catering accommodation at Ingleton in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales
We are situated approximately 1 mile South West of Ingleton adjacent to the A65.
Whether you plan to walk the footpaths which criss-cross the Three Peaks, take in the spectacular waterfalls of the Rivers Doe and Twiss, experience the weird and wonderful world of caverns and caves or just unwind in a beautful setting, Pinecroft, Ingleton and the Yorkshire Dales have everything to make your holiday special.
Waterfalls
From the village, which nestles at the foot of Ingleborough, you can take a 4 mile circular walk past waterfalls and through ancient oak woodland. Hollybush Spout, Baxenghyll Gorge and Snow Falls are just a few of the delightful names given to the falls, but the most impressive of all is probably Thornton Force, which tumbles 40 ft into a pool within a natural amphitheatre.

Caves
The celebrated White Scar Cave provides visitors with a glimpse into the fascinating world of stalactites and stalagmites which lies hidden beneath Ingleborough’s limestone pavements.
Ingleborough cave is another spectacular cave, which is open to visitors. It has been sculpted by the waters flowing from underneath Ingleborough and the Gaping Ghyll cave and pothole system.
From the picturesque village of Clapham there is a 2 km nature trail leading to the impressive entrance to the cave.

Gaping Ghyll, at 365 ft, is one of the deepest potholes in the country and on Bank Holiday Weekends it is often possible for the adventurous to descend by winch to its floor.
The Settle - Carlisle railway line starts a few miles south of Ingleton and threads its way between Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent before soaring 100 feet above the valley floor on the spectacular Ribblehead viaduct and heading into Cumbria.
The mountains, lakes and villages of Cumbria, the Forest of Bowland, protected as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the beaches, dunes and seaside towns of the Lancashire coast are just a few of the diverse locations within easy driving distance of Ingleton.
