    The Yorkshire Three Peaks walk Distance: 39km (24 miles) Parking: Horton car park ( BD24 0HF, SD 807 724) Other transport: Horton train station on the Settle to Carlisle line is close to the start Toilets: Horton car park Refreshments: pubs and café in Horton, Station Inn at Ribblehead and the Old Hill Inn in Chapel-le-dale This is a major challenge walk which is long and involves over 1600m (5000 feet) of climbing over the Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. There is one section on road, but the paths are good. You do need to be able to navigate and cope with conditions in the high fells. Route description 1. Walk south out of the village passing the Golden Lion pub and church and cross a small stream. Then turn left up a minor tarmac road. Follow this up towards Brackenbottom and just before reaching some buildings take a footpath on your left signed to Pen-y-ghent. 2. Climb steadily up through fields with Pen-y-ghent ahead of you. The final section of the route to the summit is steeper for a while before reaching the trig point and shelter. 3. Cross the wall at the summit and follow the clear path heading roughly north. This zig zags down, passing the gash of Hunt Pot, to reach the head of a walled lane. 4. Carry straight on to follow the new path over Whitber Hill to reach a clear track. Turn right and follow this for 1.5km (1 mile) and then take the path on the left towards Birkwith cave.

    Walk the Way in a Day Walk 32 Upper Ribblesdale from Horton Starting at Horton-in-Ribblesdale in the heart of the 1965 - 2015 three peaks area, this highly enjoyable walk follows the Pennine Way along stony tracks, passing a series of deep limestone fissures, before returning through an area of beautiful limestone scenery. Length: 13½ miles (22 kilometres) Ascent: 1,575 feet (480 metres) Highest Point: 1,437 feet (438 metres) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Map 2 (‘Yorkshire Dales - Southern & Western Areas’) (West Sheet) Starting Point: Horton-in-Ribblesdale car park (SD 808 726) Facilities: Full range of services. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-32-upper-ribblesdale-horton Harber Scar Lane Horton-in-Ribblesdale is located on the B6479, about 5 miles (8 kilometres) north of Settle. There is a ‘pay and display’ car park in the village centre, as well as limited roadside parking just over the River Ribble. There is also a railway station on the Settle and Carlisle line. Close to the Crown Inn, a finger sign shows the Pennine Way heading up Harber Scar Lane, which is followed for 3 miles (5 kilometres). The stony track climbs between walls of white limestone as it heads north-east then north. As height is gained the views over the valley are blighted by the massive limestone quarries. Cutting through the dry gully of Sell Gill Beck, note the limestone fissures (1 = SD 812 744).

  • The Exploitation of the Horton Flags-Considered As an Example of Indu Strial Archaeology
    Field Studies6 (1985),237-251 THE EXPLOITATION OF THE HORTON FLAGS-CONSIDERED AS AN EXAMPLE OF INDU STRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY W. R. MITCHELL 18 YealandAztenue, Giggleswick, Settle, North Yorkshire Agsrnecr A small outcrop of Horton Flags, which are of Silurian age, was quarried at five points near Helwith Bridge, in North Ribblesdale, for over 200 years. Large, smooth piecesof Flag, impervious to moisture, were fashioned into objects that were of basic daily use in the locality. Flags were used as flooring, shelving in kitchens and dairies, large cisterns to hold rainwater and small troughs from which farm stock might drink. A great many piecesare to be found within a few miles of Malham Tarn Field Centre. There are gate stoops, road bridges, "throughs" in drystone walls, a rich variety of obiects made from slate at some local churches and, on Swarth Moor, Helwith Bridge, mere (boundary) stones that marked the extent of local peat workings. Data concerning the geology, history, exploitation and use of Horton Flags are presented and discussed,together with methods used by the author to record rhe best surviving examples and suggestionsfor further study. Gnorocy HonroN FLAGSare sedimentary rocks of Silurian age which underlie Moughton Fell and are very evident through outcropping between the villages of Stainforth and Horton-in-Ribblesdale (seeFigures I and 2). Here they give a dark appearanceto what is elsewhere a valley noted for its limestone. Drystone walls are good indicators of local geology and so it is possible to seewhere limestone is supplanted by the Flags. Man-made outcrops caused by extensive quarrying are everywhere.

The river is partially screened by undulating topography, with few tributary gills. • Lower dale is well wooded, with often linear ancient woodland following the contours of the riverbanks, beck sides and extending high up to the valley side scars; upper dale is relatively open with only scattered individual trees, groups of trees sheltering settlements and woodland clinging to limestone scars on the valley sides. • The pattern of limestone and gritstone walls forms a strong component of the dale character.
