  1. THINGS TO DO IN HORTON-IN- RIBBLESDALE At the start of the standard Three Peaks walk is the sleepy village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Despite only having 428 residents, Horton-in-Ribblesdale regularly sees an influx of hikers, cave explorers and even train enthusiasts due to being situated around a variety of fascinating sights, both manmade and natural. Pen-y-Ghent rises majestically over the village when looking at it from the west, providing an impressive backdrop to the otherwise quaint village. Despite being a small, picturesque village, there’s plenty of catering for visitors, with enough hotels, B&Bs and bunkhouses for a lot of hikers and walkers to stay overnight. Ribblesdale, alongside most of the western Yorkshire Dales, is sitting on a bed of limestone. While most of the caves in the area lie outside Ribblesdale (The White Scar Caves, for example), you won’t have to walk far to find some fascinating geological features, such as the Hull Pot Beck, the largest natural hole in England and a spectacular sight after a spell of wet weather, as the Beck becomes a magnificent waterfall.

  2. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation: there are 6 B&Bs, 3 self-catering hotels, 3 bunkhouses and the Holme Farm Campsite for those who brought their tents. The Golden Lion Hotel and the Crown hotel are also pubs with the ability to host group activities, so your choice of accommodation depends on how many people you’re bringing with you and how you’d like your stay to feel: a warm and cosy farmhouse, an energetic pub or the sounds of nature around your tent. When it comes to catering, you have 4 options inside the village: the two aforementioned hotels, the Blind Beck Tea Rooms and the Pen-y-Ghent Café. The Pen-y-Ghent Café is popular with walkers and hikers, whether they’re going down the Pennine Way, or starting or finishing the 3 Peaks. The café operates a clock-in/out system to time, and aid the safety of walkers. A clock card machine records the start and end time of walkers. Those completing within a 12 hour period are invited to join the Café’s ‘Three Peaks of Yorkshire Club’. Despite being such a small village, Horton lies in the middle of several hiking routes and within sight of one of the majestic 3 Peaks. No wonder it’s so popular with hikers and walkers! https://ny3p.co.uk
