Ingleborough Dales
The scheme covers a beautiful rural area of approximately 133 km² in the south-west corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The area is roughly triangular, with Ribblehead and its impressive viaduct at its northernmost point, the small market town of Settle to the south, and Ingleton village to the west. It is centred on and overlooked by the iconic summit of Ingleborough, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
The area has a strikingly distinctive character, dominated by the underlying influences of its limestone geology, glacial scouring and deposition, and the visible surface impact of human activity through upland livestock farming and quarrying.
