Ingleborough, Yorkshire’s second highest mountain is 2,372 ft high. Part of the trio known as the three peaks of Yorkshire, the area is visited by thousands of people every year.
With it’s instantly recognisable stepped profile the mountain’s shape is due to the alternating layers of limestone, sandstone and shale which form the bulk of the volume beneath its gritstone cap.
On a clear day, where once stood an Iron Age or even earlier ritual site, you can see Morecambe Bay off to the west.
Closer home there are impressive views across to Baugh and Howgill Fells, Blea Moor and Wensleydale.
