About this route
A 14.8km out-and-back-style loop from Ingleton climbing over Little Ingleborough to the flat-topped summit of Ingleborough, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
Hazards & notes
The flat summit plateau of Ingleborough is genuinely disorienting in cloud, where many lose the path. Expect boggy approaches, a steep final climb, and full exposure to weather on top.
Emergency
Call 999 or 112 → ask for Police → request Mountain Rescue. Register Emergency SMS: text "register" to 999.
