Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk.

We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views (when clear) are stunning. There are lots of walks of varying lengths around the Yorkshire Dales, a definite walkers paradise. Just make sure you are prepared for all weathers, by the time we descended you couldn’t see the summit for cloud.

Hawks Barn - Horton in Ribblesdale

10/10 Excellent

"The owners were literal life savers and we can never thank you enough for taking care of us under difficult circumstances. Beautiful place to stay."

3 bedroom accommodation in Horton-In-Ribblesdale, near Settle

6/10 Okay

"Lovely pad. Well laid out. Comfy bed. But only half a roll of toilet paper? No tea pot? Found the tv remote under the couch, along with dirt, balls and empty bottles. Shame that there was not any welcome pack with any useful info, or even a hello and thanks for booking and could not leave a cheery note in the guest book as it was full! Horton is a wonderful b VJ pillage but no one seems to care. Pubs although busy were largely unfriendly, info and tea room closed indefinitely and yet the village was a wonderful hub of vibrant activity and happiness all weekend."
