The Yorkshire Three Peaks walk is a famous challenge walk in the Yorkshire Dales. It takes in three of the highest summits in the area; Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. Each of these hills is worthy of spending a day on with many varied and interesting routes available.
Each year, however, many walkers attempt to walk all three peaks in one day with most starting from Horton-in-Ribblesdale. The route is 24.5 miles (39km) long and has over 5,000 feet (1600m) of ascent and descent and most people aim to complete it in less than 12 hours.
