About Ingleton
The historic Yorkshire Dales village of Ingleton is situated at the junction of two rivers. The River Twiss from Kingsdale and River Doe from Chapel-le Dale -combine to form the River Greta at Ingleton.
Ingleton nestles in the foothills of Ingleborough on the threshold of Yorkshire’s beautiful Limestone Dales.
Above ground, glaciation has produced spectacular scars, erratics, limestone pavements, high cliffs and deep dry gorges. Below ground, the limestone region is awash with dramatic underground rivers, stunning potholes and caves.
The natural features of the area provide for a host of outdoor activities, and the Ingleton area is a magnet to walkers, climbers, cavers and potholers.
Ingleborough Hall offers technical training, personal guiding and
introductory trips in Caving for individuals & groups, plus residential
outdoor activity courses for schools.
