The Hike:
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge is one of the UK's most iconic hiking challenges, taking you through the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This classic route will see you summit three magnificent peaks in a single day: Pen-y-Ghent (694 m), Whernside (736 m), and Ingleborough (723 m).
We will begin our journey in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, a charming village that serves as the traditional starting point for the challenge. The trek follows a circular route through dramatic limestone landscapes, rolling hills, and rugged moorland, with each peak offering its own unique character and breathtaking views across the Dales.
The Ticket Cost:
£86 per person.
