The Trail

Take a walk in a waterfall wonderland

The four and a half mile Ingleton Waterfalls Trail boasts some of the most spectacular waterfall and oak woodland scenery in the UK, truly encapsulating nature at its best.

As a year-round attraction, you will have abundant opportunities to view seasonal landscapes and to experience a walk in a waterfall wonderland, whatever the weather.

Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is an ideal day out amongst unspoilt surroundings for family and friends, and an opportunity for educational visitors to explore nature and geological features including Thornton Force that falls 14 metres over limestone.

With rare and interesting plants and wildlife and its importance as a geological site, much of the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Natural England.

You should allow between two and a half and four hours to complete, depending on your fitness levels and whether you are walking or strolling.  Please note that for safety reasons the trail closes in extreme weather conditions.  Please ring the ticket office for further information.
