Where in the Yorkshire Dales is Kingsdale?<\/h1>\n

It’s that long valley which goes up the west side of Whernside, in the Yorkshire Dales.<\/p>\n

Why’ve I not heard of it?<\/h2>\n

You’ve probably not heard of it, it’s not one of the main dales – it’s probably counted as part of the Ribblesdale region.<\/p>\n

What’s it like?<\/h2>\n

It climbs steeply from Thornton In Lonsdale, with stunning views of Ingleborough to the right. It then levels off to become a flat-bottomed valley with a stream flowing down the middle. It then steeply climbs to the summit, which affords magnificent views of Whernside to the right, then Deepdale appears in front. It’s a very high pass with up to 4 gates to open<\/p>\n

Any highlights?<\/h2>\n

Part way up you can pop down to Thornton Force – the beautiful 45 foot waterfall<\/a> at mid point of the ingleton waterfalls walk.<\/p>\n

The valley itself is stunning<\/p>\n

The stream is often dry, but when flowing you can use it as a great foreground.<\/p>\n

Views of Ingleborough at sunset – you’ve got lots of limestone pavements for foreground<\/a> and the setting sun lights the side of inglebrough you’re looking at, turning it orange.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things I’d recommend you take on such a trip:-<\/p>\n
