Pen y Ghent 6 miles

Our walk starts in Horton-in-Ribbledale at the National Park car park, cost is £5 all day, the fell is immediately visible oppostite. Its a short walk after turning right out of the car park to the end of the village taking the 2nd sign for a footpath on the left hand side of the road. Follow the path up past the school and towards the fell.

The veiws rewarding the climb come quickly with Whernside and Ingleborough, the two other fells in the Yorshire Three Peaks, being visible. Continuing up the fell. following the stone wall on your left hand side, till you reach the Penine Way where you turn left towards the summit. 

The climb now really starts, your path may not be obvious but unfolds as you follow it up the crag, some scrambling may be required but if you managed the stiles so far you'll not be troubled by the crag. It's a short walk to the trig point where there's also a shelter built into the wall. 

The return route leads away from the stile on the other side of the wall, taking you down the side of the fell.

A short detour, turning right when you get to the signpost take you to Hull Pot, a large hole which has an impressive waterfall if there's been sufficient rain, unlike the day this picture was taken. A small beck should still be present close by before it disappears underground, first opportunity for a thirsty dog if youve brought one. 

 

Turning back the path will take you back to Horton and the car park and the end of an enjoyable, steep on places, short walk.
