Experience the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks at a relaxed pace — one mountain per day.
This small-group guided adventure takes you up Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, allowing time to enjoy the scenery, geology, and peaceful character of the Dales without the pressure of the one-day challenge.
Led by Jonathan, an experienced Mountain Leader from Where2Walk, this three-day itinerary is perfect for walkers who want to build confidence, take in the views, and connect with fellow adventurers.
