8.75 Miles
Map : OS OL2 : Yorkshire Dales - Southern & Western Areas
Holiday time and the chance to spend a good few hours out walking. Ingleton is a fair drive from home and this part of the world is dominated by Ingleborough which can be seen for almost all the route. This is another walk from the walkingworld.com website and, although the going is quite easy, the length of the walk makes it quite strenuous.
Parking in Ingleton you walk down to the main road and on towards the girder bridge that spans the River Greta. Just over the bridge steps lead down to the river bank which is soon left as you head across pastures towards the village of Burton in Lonsdale.
After leaving the village (and crossing the river once more), the second leg of the route takes you across Bentham Moor and drops into the village of Bentham.
The third and final stretch takes you out of Bentham and across the golf course. This section is extremely well marked and thankfully it was Wednesday so very few golfers were in evidence. After crossing the golf course it's a straight run in to Ingleton. Although I have to say I was quite foot weary by the time I got back to the car and was ready to get out of my boots.
