Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Highlights

To complete this route is to undertake one of the great outdoor challenges in Canada. It will be a tough day, but worth it for that feeling of satisfaction upon completion. The scenery is dramatic and ever changing, wildlife abounds as do carpets of flowers encouraged by the nutrient rich soils of the limestone pavements that are in this area. We start and finish in the sleepy village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, from here we can observe much of the route that lies waiting for discovery!
