Travelling from Kirkby Lonsdale to Cowan Bridge remarks “The number of small carts laden with coals, and each dragged by one sorry horse, that we met, was astonishing. Many of the smaller farmers earn their bread by carrying coals from pits at Ingleton and Black Burton..” They also burn lime to manure their land. Collected candles. lanthorn, tinder-box and a guide from Church Stile Corner and walked to Kingsdale via the only entrance by Thornton Force and Keld Head. The only habitation “ a lonely shepherd’s house” (ie. Braeda Garth) ”with a little wood and a few enclosures near it.” The soil in some parts deep and rich and capable of great improvement. YORDAS: inside the “gloom and horror increased”. The roof was so high and the bottom and sides so dark that even with candles and torches, they could not make out the dimensions. On the western side of the cave were names inscribed about 200 years before. A poor woman died there in childbirth on the way to Dent. On their return down the valley noted the Apron Full of Stones, a tumulus over some dead person of consequence. In Chapel le Dale the small mounds were used in the past as archery butts. Horse races were held on the summit of Ingleborough. The Tour was republished as an addendum to the second edition of West’s Guide to the Lakes. In 1970 a facsimile edition was published by S.R.Publishers.
