Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Seven miles there and back with nearly six hundred metres of climb, taking four and a half to five hours: a walled bridleway over Storrs Common, a rough mile and a half to the farm at Crina Bottom, and then a steep stepped haul up the limestone terraces to the summit plateau, which is exposed and easy to lose in cloud. It starts at the main community car park in Ingleton, a far cheaper and less crowded option than the Waterfalls Trail car park just up the road. This is the quietest of the three routes up Ingleborough and it uses gates rather than stiles almost all the way, which matters if you have a big dog; against that, the fell is grazed and full of shake holes and small open shafts, ground-nesting birds are on it from March to July, and once past Crina Bottom there is no water at all, so carry some.

THE SMALL PRINTLeads throughout - sheep on Storrs Common and the whole fell, ground-nesting birds from March to July, and shake holes and small open pots either side of the track.
