About this place
Clapham is a starting point for a mountain walk to Ingleborough through limestone country, with Ingleborough Cave, Trow Gill and Gaping Gill among the features on the National Park's published route. Reaching the summit is a substantial outing, with exposed ground and navigation that becomes harder in poor visibility.
Use the National Park's full Clapham route guide to plan the walk, including its map and current advice. If your approach uses the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail, check the estate's admission and opening arrangements; the nature trail is a paid attraction. Allow separately for travel between Clapham railway station and the village. Choose a day and route suited to your experience, equipment and the mountain forecast.
