Atracciones de las cascadas de Ingleton

Historia

Caminata circular a través de paisajes de cascadas

El sendero fue inaugurado el 11 de abril de 1885, después de que informes sobre el pintoresco entorno de Ingleton despertaran el interés público. La construcción de caminos y puentes permitió el acceso a paisajes previamente ocultos, y la cercana estación de tren de Ingleton contribuyó significativamente al éxito temprano del sendero al atraer visitantes de ciudades como Bradford, Manchester y Leeds.

Geología

Senderismo a lo largo del río Twiss

Ingleton se encuentra en la falla de Craven del Norte y del Sur, lo que expone tanto rocas carboníferas como ordovícicas. Estas formaciones geológicas contribuyen a la impresionante paisaje del sendero y ofrecen información sobre la historia geológica de la región.

Ruta y puntos de interés

El sendero circular comienza y termina en el pueblo de Ingleton y sigue los cursos de los ríos Twiss y Doe, que se unen en Ingleton para formar el río Greta. A lo largo del camino, los excursionistas pasan por varias impresionantes cascadas, entre ellas:

- Pecca Falls: una serie de cascadas con una altura total de aproximadamente 30 metros que caen en pozas profundas.

- Thornton Force: una impresionante cascada con una altura de caída de aproximadamente 14 metros, que cae sobre una discordancia geológica exponiendo capas de roca carbonífera y ordovícica.

- Beezley's Falls: conocida por el "Triple Spout", tres cascadas que caen una al lado de la otra en una poza.

- Rival Falls: una cascada de 18 metros de altura que cae en un profundo barranco.

- Snow Falls: una pintoresca cascada que es especialmente impresionante después de las lluvias.

El sendero atraviesa antiguos bosques y ofrece numerosos miradores desde los cuales se puede admirar la belleza natural de la región. Los caminos y puentes bien mantenidos hacen que el sendero sea accesible para muchos excursionistas, aunque algunas secciones pueden ser empinadas y desiguales.

Conservación

Las áreas a lo largo de los ríos Twiss y Doe han sido designadas por English Nature como Sitio de Interés Científico Especial debido a la diversa flora y fauna, así como a las importantes estructuras geológicas. Se pide a los visitantes que respeten el entorno y permanezcan en los senderos marcados para proteger los delicados ecosistemas.

Experiencia del visitante

El sendero de las cascadas de Ingleton está abierto todo el año y ofrece diferentes atractivos paisajísticos en cada estación. La caminata suele durar entre 2 y 4 horas, dependiendo del ritmo individual y la cantidad de descansos. A lo largo del camino hay varios lugares de descanso donde los visitantes pueden disfrutar de las vistas y descansar. Se recomienda llevar calzado adecuado y ropa impermeable, ya que el clima en la región puede cambiar rápidamente.

We took our excited Labrador the day after doing Whernside. This obviously wasn’t as difficult but it had its challenges, not all of the path is easy. Some uneven rocky bits. There wasn’t always a fence barrier at some dangerous parts either. Not what I expected after paying £10 each. There are toilets halfway round but the cafe didn’t open until after lunch. It didn’t do any hot food and dog didn’t like the doggie ice cream.

A quite spectacular circular walk, up into the hills, past an amazing multisensory experience of nature at its finest.

The paths were a little icy as warned by the ticket masters outside, they check your shoes before you go in which is really sweet of them. On the website it did say the falls trail was closed due to bad weather, but we drove to the entrance to check anyway and it was open. Although this is the biggest/only attraction of the town, nobody really knows if the trails are open or not so it’s always best to just check at the ticket booths. For those looking for toilets on the trail, there are 2. One at bezeley farm, which is like a small farm stay, there were no signs on the trail, but they were marked on the map, so I think you need to find them. Another one you will pass by about 30mins to the exit. Also by a small vacation home/hotel. Good walking/hiking shoes highly recommended. Waterproof ones are the best for December/January.

I think £10 is far too expensive, even though it is a nice walk

Decent paths, You're following the ghyll for most of the trail and obviously rough in parts so consider your mobility and not suitable for prams. Little icy underfoot in places. A good walk with lots of waterfalls, suitable for families, couples and lonely walkers. There's toilets at the start and just passed the halfway point.

Absolutely loved this walk. It's a little over 4 miles. Takes approximately 2 hours to walk it. It is very well sign posted. You get to walk alongside the water for most of the walk. The waterfalls are very impressive this time of year. In summer the waterfalls dry up a bit, but it become a great sppt for picnics and paddling. You have to pay to enter as it's National Trust, but parking is free. There's also toilets! Great day out for all the family.

The walk its self is lovely and a great experience. Unfortunately it is let down by a £10 per person charge. While I completely agree that maintenance cost money…. And I am happy to contribute, I can’t help but feel this is over charging. £40 for four of us to go for a walk in the country side is excessive and unfortunately put us off going again.

Incredible close up views of 6 thundering waterfalls along an approx 4.5mile up and down loads of steps walk. But hell was it worth it? Oh yeah, the £10 entry per person.

How much to park? Too expensive! Got a right monopoly on this place. No self respecting Yorkshire man would ever pay that.

Fantastic walk which is 4.5 miles on a well sign posted circular route passing several waterfalls. It all starts in a car park in ingleton with free parking but a £10 per person charge for the walk which at 1st seems expensive but after the walk you will think it money well spent . You go up one valley past sets of waterfalls and then down another with at the half way point there is a toilet block and a tea rooms with a great local chap who will give you a proper Yorkshire welcome so do gave a pit stop there he needs the company . Walked it many times over the past 30 years and it is improving every time .

Great waterfalls. You need to be fairly fit. It's quite uneven in parts and slippery after rain.

The most beautiful walk. Great for older children and doggies. Stunning scenery and lovely spots all round for picnics. Lovely staff members on entry too. We did the kids trail pack and got a cute memorabilia wooden prize to take home. Took us 3.5 hour with a stop for food and drinks and popped our feet in the water at a safe spot. Lovely morning
