Horton-in-Ribblesdale is ideally placed to explore the magnificent 'Three Peaks' region of the Yorkshire Dales.

Pen-y-Ghent, to the East is the smallest of the Three Peaks at 2272 ft and translates as 'hill of the winds'. Next in height is Ingleborough at 2373 ft and highest is Whernside at 2418 ft.

It is possible to walk all 'three peaks' in one day (24miles) as long as you are well prepared.
