Pen-y-Ghent and Plover Guided Walk
Advertisement
This a classic walk up the friendliest of the infamous Yorkshire 3 Peaks. This is a tough route with spectacular scenery. The paths are well trod and the descent is over good terrain, but the climb is a beast (including a short scramble)!
We will be taking our time, climbing Pen-y-Ghent from the pretty village of Horton in Ribblesdale, passing herds of iconic, black-faced, Swaledale sheep. We will then continue along the ridge to Plover Hill before descending into the valley and continuing back along a well surfaced track to Horton. The views are incredible, especially when you've earned them.
A 9 mile route of approx. 1,500ft ascent. Expected to take 5 hours.
Well behaved, friendly (with other dogs and people), agile dogs are welcome (max. 2 per person), but please note we are likely to encounter livestock enroute. Children aged approx. 10+ also welcome.
As with all Abigail's Trails, this is a small-group guided walk led by a professional Mountain Leader. Spaces are limited and cost £20 per person.
Please ensure you have read and agreed to our Terms and Conditions and GDPR Privacy Notice prior to booking.
Further instructions and kit list will be emailed to you before the date.
