In Ingleton Waterfall, we saw lots of things:

Swilla Glen

The first section of the walk follows the River Twiss through Swilla Glen, a deep glen cut into carboniferous limestone. Walking through the woodland of oak, ash, birch and hazel you can find a variety of wild ground plants including bluebells and dogs mercury.

Mosses and ferns thrive in the moist conditions of the limestone gorge in this area. After crossing Manor Bridge the trail leads you towards Pecca Falls.

Page 6: Trip to The Brontes birthplace

Pecca Falls

After walking over Pecca Bridge you reach the first of Pecca Falls. Here you can see the vegetation shift from a typical limestone woodland to the bracken and heathers that thrive in the more acidic soil associated with slate and sandstone.

There are five main waterfalls at this point, dropping 30 metres over sandstone and slate. The river Twiss tumbles over the sandstone steps into the plunge pools which are reputed to be as deep as the falls themselves.

Hollybush Spout

The trail climbs steeply here up a series of steps via Hollybush Spout, onto open moor land where the river flows to a shallow valley.

There is a refreshment cabin at the top so you can enjoy a cooling ice cream or drink and well earned rest before walking on to Thornton Force.

Page 7: Trip to The Brontes birthplace

Thornton Force

Thornton Force is the most famous and spectacular of the waterfalls on the trail. Here the river plunges 14 metres over a cliff of limestone, laid down 330 million years ago in a sub-tropical sea.

There is a viewing area which is also a beautiful spot for a picnic or rest before continuing the walk along Twistleton Lane.

Thornton Force was an inspiration for renowned artist William Turner.

Twisleton Lane

From Thornton Force the walk continues to Raven Ray, across a footbridge. Follow the steps up the hillside which meets Twistleton Lane, an old Roman road leading into Kingsdale.

The lane continues via Scar End Farm and Twisleton Hall before crossing the Chapel-le-Dale road at Beezley Farm. This section of the trail provides spectacular views of Ingleborough - one of the famous Yorkshire Dales ‘Three Peaks.’

Beezley Falls

Just before Beezley Falls you arrive at the Falls Refreshment Centre where you can rest your legs and take in the beautiful surroundings. The trail then enters oak woodland, this time following the path of the river Doe to arrive at Beezley Falls.

From the first waterfall the Doe descends over Triple Spout – three beautiful waterfalls all side by side.

Rival Falls

At Rival Falls the trail offers fantastic views of the river Doe plunging into a pool known locally as the “Black Hole” which is reputed to be over 80 feet deep.

Baxengyhll Gorge

Walking on to Baxenghyll Gorge you will find a viewing bridge which gives a dramatic view of the river far below - for those not afraid of heights!

Snow Falls

Beyond Baxenghyll Gorge don’t forget to look back or you may miss the beautiful Snow Falls.

From Snow Falls, the walk continues back through Twisleton Glen over the final footbridge of the trail in the valley via the old limestone quarries and kilns. The final stage of the trail takes you through the picturesque Ingleton village before returning to the car park where the trail began.

When we visited all this sites, we left Ingleton Waterfalls. We took at 14:45 the buses numbers 581, 581, 66, 565. We arrived to Haworth at 18:01. At 18:15 we had dinner in The Old White Lion Hotel Restaurant and we ate a menu of 21 pounds. At 20:00 we came to the hotel.

14 th March, Thursday

Today, we were very tired. So we visited Haworth’s Cathedral. At 13:00 we went to The Old White Lion Hotel Restaurant and we ate a menu of £21. At 15:00 we left the restaurant and we went to the Haworth’s Cathedral. At 16:00 we arrived to the Cathedral.

The present Church was constructed between 1879 and 1881 and, although little remains of the previous buildings – parts of the present church tower formed parts of both the medieval church building as well as the one that Brontë would have used – many historical connections with both the Anglican and Methodist movements as well as literature are still present.

At 18:00 we left the Haworth’s Cathedral and we went to The Old White Lion Hotel Restaurant and we ate a menu of £21. At 20:00 we came to the hotel.

We left Oakworth at 12:39 and we arrived to Damems at 12:43, but in this station, the train didn’t stopped because anybody request this.

The River Aire passes through north eastern Keighley, dividing the neighbourhood of Stockbridge and running roughly parallel to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Parts of Keighley are prone to flooding and the town was particularly badly hit in by floods 2000.
