Ingleton Waterfalls Trail

The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is one of the Yorkshire Dales' great spectacles, following the Rivers Twiss and Doe through limestone gorges past a succession of dramatic cascades. The 7 km circuit starts at Broadwood Car Park, climbing alongside Pecca Falls to Thornton Force — a stunning 14-metre clean drop over a limestone cliff — before crossing open ground and descending the Doe valley past Beezley Falls, the viewing bridge above Baxenghyll Gorge, and Snow Falls. The path is one-way, well-surfaced for most of its length, and the geology creates an extraordinary landscape of gorges, moss-covered rock and hanging woodland. Entry fee is around £11 per adult, with parking included.

Dogs are welcome on this dog friendly walk but must be kept on leads throughout — a trail rule rather than a site-specific restriction. Despite the lead requirement, the sensory experience here is exceptional: cold spray from the falls, damp limestone moss, deep oak leaf mould and the constant sound of rushing water create one of the most stimulating environments on any Dales walk. Some sections are stepped and rocky, making this unsuitable for dogs who struggle with uneven ground. Water access from the trail itself is limited despite the river being constantly visible, so bring a bowl and bottle.
