Walk, Ingleton Waterfall Trail

Today we are walking the Ingleton Waterfall Trail, it would have been wrong to come here and not do it. So we drove back into the village and to the start of the waterfall walk. We got parked up and payed the entrance fee, then set of on the long walk along one river then across, to come back along another river.

The walk is 4.3 mile or 7 km, and is up and down hills along the way, so we were well dressed for it, it was slightly wet as well. The girls had the activity pack and had to take rubbings along the way. We set off along the river Twiss, it was more up and down that I thought it would be.

 

As we walked along, up the river the waterfalls seemed to be getting bigger.

 

And bigger.

 

After the last big waterfall we came out of the trees and crossed the river a couple of times then headed up onto the moors.

 

As it was uphill the younger ones went off in front and me and Dot made our way up after them as best as we could. We could see them up ahead next to an ice cream van, how on earth an ice cream van got there I do not know.

We walked back down the hill towards the other river running down into Ingleton but stopped at the cafe half way in the walk for tea and sandwiches. From there we could see the entrance to White Scar Cave and all the car parking for it.

 

The walk back down to Ingleton along the river Doe was just as good as the walk the other way.

 

The girls were still doing their the activity packs but all too soon we were back at the start.
