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.

"A lovely cosy cottage with everything you need for a walking holiday. Plenty of info from the helpful owner who came around to explain things shortly after I arrived. A short walk to the station. Parking OK outside cottage as long as you have a relatively small car (larger cars can park further down the lane I think). All in all an excellent cottage."

Middle Studfold Farm B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This accommodation is outstanding. The owners have thought of everything. It's home from home with luxury touches. The rooms are beautiful with amazing views All the food is freshly made and nothing is too much trouble. Jen made us pack lunches with homemade bread and cakes which were delicious. I can't recommend this enough."

3 bedroom accommodation in Horton-In-Ribblesdale, near Settle

6/10 Okay

"Lovely pad. Well laid out. Comfy bed. But only half a roll of toilet paper? No tea pot? Found the tv remote under the couch, along with dirt, balls and empty bottles. Shame that there was not any welcome pack with any useful info, or even a hello and thanks for booking and could not leave a cheery note in the guest book as it was full! Horton is a wonderful b VJ pillage but no one seems to care. Pubs although busy were largely unfriendly, info and tea room closed indefinitely and yet the village was a wonderful hub of vibrant activity and happiness all weekend."
