Met up with my sister, brother-in-law and friends at the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail car park.

There is a snack bar and toilets near the car park entrance at the site. Along the trail there are a couple more places where you can grab a snack or two whilst you take in the views of the waterfalls and the surrounding area. Also half way along the trail there are also toilets available to customers.

The leaflet available has a map of the trail which shows all the waterfalls you will see along the way. There are six beautiful waterfalls clearly marked on the trail.

More toilets and signage to other areas – very well sign posted

This is another part of the car park at Ingleton Waterfalls – currently being used for selfies 😉

This is the main entrance into the trail

You will find many money trees along the route

There are a few bridges along the route so you can see the main waterfalls clearly

Had to have an ice cream break as it was a lovely hot day, however remember to bring your pennies, cash only at this one. Thankfully one of us had hard cash. Thank you Mark 🙂

One of the beautiful waterfalls, Thornton Force – there is a small trail where you can get across to go under the waterfall

Small little feature to the side of the Thornton Force waterfall

Towards the end of the trail a lovely view of the rocks

At Thornton Force, the main waterfall you can get underneath. Some kids enjoying the refreshing fall 🙂

As the trail is on private land, the paths are very clean, safe and clear. It was a leisurely day out and a beautiful place to catch up with family and friends.
