The Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 3 Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and to a lesser extent Pen y Ghent form the backdrop to a long walk I took on a warm, sunny day in March. The walk passes through the heart of the 3 Peaks. It starts in the upper reaches of Ribblesdale and arrives in Oughtershaw. Oughtershaw is at the far end of Langstrothdale, part of Wharfedale. It is a wild, lonely area of high moors and pretty\u00a0dales. Anybwalkers you meet around here will inevitably be undertaking the two long distance footpaths (Pennine Way and Dales Way<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cam Road is the watershed of Wensleydale, Wharfedale and Ribblesdale. It links Ribblesdale and Wensleydale. In the past it was a well used drovers road but now it is mainly used by the Forestry Commission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple day walk however offers an opportunity to appreciate the contrasts in this walk. Here there are wild, lonely high moors, beautiful hidden gills near Oughtershaw and Leck Bridge and a stretch of forestry which is sufficiently\u00a0open on good paths to make it highly enjoyable. It is an interesting area. As a result I certainly felt a much greater understanding of the Yorkshire Dales having completed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I started from near Horton. Starting in Outershaw is simply too difficult to get to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigation Tips in the Heart of the 3 Peaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On leaving the Cam Road look for the corner of the forestry and a stile. From here a short path carries on through the trees to a second stile and the open country just below the Cam Houses. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For those that wish to gain great view of the 3 Peaks without having to climb any this walk is perfect.
