Beginning in the town of Ingleton, this 6.9 km trail heads north into the National Park to sample some of the region’s stunning waterfalls.
The path follows the River Twiss up through Swilla Glen, a sharp limestone cavern. The trail crosses Pecca Bridge to arrive at Pecca Falls. It then climbs some steps to Hollybush Spout, an area of open moorland.
It's then on to the highlight of the trail, Thunder Force, a 14-metre waterfall. This feature was said to have inspired the painter William Turner with its beauty. The trail then loops round to follow along the River Doe where it passes Beezley Falls and on to Rival Falls.
The path ends by passing through the Baxengyhll Gorge which looks back onto Snow Falls, then through Twisleton Glen, before returning to Ingleton.
Natural England have designated the Ingleton Glens as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the unique wildlife and interesting geological features present. Wildflowers such as bluebells and dog mercury bloom amongst the old growth forests in the spring.
The track is rocky and narrow in parts with slippery areas underfoot. It crosses through oak woodland and gorges throughout the loop.
