Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
The famous Ingleton Waterfalls Trail in Yorkshire offers some of the most spectacular waterfall and woodland scenery in the North of England. The trail leads you through ancient oak woodland and magnificent Yorkshire Dales scenery via a series of stunning waterfalls and geological features.
The total length of the trail is 4 miles (8km), so you should allow between 2 and 4 hours to complete it. The trail follows a well-defined footpath over moderately inclined ground and steps are provided wherever there is a climb. Unfortunately the footpath is unsuitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

The Forbidden Corner
The Forbidden Corner at Leyburn was voted top children's attraction in Yorkshire. It is a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises created in a four acre garden in the heart of Tupgill Park and the Yorkshire Dales. The temple of the underworld, the eye of the needle, a huge pyramid made of translucent glass, paths and passages that lead nowhere, extraordinary statues – at every turn there are decisions to make and tricks to avoid. This is a day out with a difference which will challenge and delight adults and children of all ages.
