Top landmarks in Skipton

Aerial sunset of Comb Hill and Watlows dry Valley part of the Limestone landscape near Malham Cove, Malham, North Yorkshire, UK

Malham Cove

4.6/5 (95 reviews)
Malham Cove is 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Malham, why not stop by during your stay. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Gordale Scar, located nearby.

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views (when clear) are stunning. There are lots of walks of varying lengths around the Yorkshire Dales, a definite walkers paradise. Just make sure you are prepared for all weathers, by the time we descended you couldn’t see the summit for cloud.

Pen-y-Ghent

4.8/5 (8 reviews)
Pen-y-Ghent is 2 mi (3.1 km) from central Horton in Ribblesdale, why not stop by during your stay. If you like Pen-y-Ghent, you'll love Malham Cove and Ingleborough Cave, both just a short drive away.
