Geschichte

Rundwanderweg durch Wasserfalllandschaften

Der Trail wurde am 11. April 1885 eröffnet, nachdem Berichte über die malerische Umgebung von Ingleton das öffentliche Interesse geweckt hatten. Pfad- und Brückenbau ermöglichten den Zugang zu zuvor verborgenen Landschaften, und die nahegelegene Ingleton-Bahnstation trug maßgeblich zum frühen Erfolg des Trails bei, indem sie Besucher aus Städten wie Bradford, Manchester und Leeds anzog.

Geologie

Wanderung entlang des River Twiss

Ingleton liegt an der Nord- und Süd-Craven-Verwerfung, wodurch sowohl karbonische als auch ordovizische Gesteine freigelegt werden. Diese geologischen Formationen tragen zur beeindruckenden Landschaft des Trails bei und bieten Einblicke in die geologische Geschichte der Region.

Route und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Der Rundweg beginnt und endet im Dorf Ingleton und folgt den Flussläufen des River Twiss und des River Doe, die sich in Ingleton zum River Greta vereinen. Entlang des Weges passieren Wanderer mehrere beeindruckende Wasserfälle, darunter:

- Pecca Falls: Eine Serie von Wasserfällen mit einer Gesamthöhe von etwa 30 Metern, die in tiefe Becken stürzen.

- Thornton Force: Ein beeindruckender Wasserfall mit einer Fallhöhe von etwa 14 Metern, der über eine geologische Unkonformität stürzt und dabei sowohl karbonische als auch ordovizische Gesteinsschichten freilegt.

- Beezley's Falls: Bekannt für die "Triple Spout", drei Wasserfälle, die nebeneinander in ein Becken fallen.

- Rival Falls: Ein 18 Meter hoher Wasserfall, der in eine tiefe Schlucht stürzt.

- Snow Falls: Ein malerischer Wasserfall, der besonders nach Regenfällen beeindruckend ist.

Der Weg führt durch alte Wälder und bietet zahlreiche Aussichtspunkte, von denen aus die natürliche Schönheit der Region bewundert werden kann. Die gut ausgebauten Pfade und Brücken machen den Trail für viele Wanderer zugänglich, obwohl einige Abschnitte steil und uneben sein können.

Naturschutz

Die Gebiete entlang des River Twiss und des River Doe wurden von English Nature als Site of Special Scientific Interest ausgewiesen, aufgrund der vielfältigen Flora und Fauna sowie der bedeutenden geologischen Strukturen. Besucher werden gebeten, die Umwelt zu respektieren und auf den markierten Wegen zu bleiben, um die empfindlichen Ökosysteme zu schützen.

Besuchererlebnis

Der Ingleton Waterfalls Trail ist das ganze Jahr über geöffnet und bietet zu jeder Jahreszeit unterschiedliche landschaftliche Reize. Die Wanderung dauert in der Regel zwischen 2 und 4 Stunden, abhängig vom individuellen Tempo und der Anzahl der Pausen. Entlang des Weges gibt es mehrere Rastplätze, an denen Besucher die Aussicht genießen und sich ausruhen können. Es wird empfohlen, festes Schuhwerk zu tragen und wetterfeste Kleidung mitzubringen, da das Wetter in der Region schnell umschlagen kann.

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.

Nature should be free and open on bank holidays

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
