The waterfalls are a photographer’s dream and the trail is a great place to mess about with your camera. We practiced a bit of long exposure to get some really creative images of the water. With Pecca Falls, Pecca Twin Falls, Holly Bush Spout, Beezley’s Falls, Rival Falls, Baxenghyll Gorge, Snow Falls and the really impressive Thornton Force, you have plenty of places to hone your camera skills.
Thornton Force is a good place to have a break whilst watching the water cascade 14 metres over the limestone. JMW Turner sat here in 1816 to sketch the waterfall.
After crossing the river a couple of times over the footbridges, you eventually reach more open countryside and will see a great view of the imposing Ingleborough. After passing through a couple of fields and Beezley Farm, the path returns towards the riverside – this time it’s the River Doe that descends back into Ingleton. The path follows the riverside and was a bit slippy underfoot so the handrails came in quite handy here. There’s a little bit of up and down and walking over some woodland crags, but nothing too tricky.
The walk finishes by passing by the old disused limestone quarry and kilns and the path takes you from here back into the village and on to the car park.
This is a helpful leaflet with some useful practical information:
