Horton-in-Ribblesdale lies below the huge sphinx-like form of Pen-y-Ghent, one of the iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is the preferred starting point for the Three Peaks Walk, a challenge walk requiring the combined ascent of some 7,000 feet (2,000 metres) onto the summits of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough within 12 hours. It’s also on the Pennine Way and is easily accessible via the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway. Middle Studfold is 1 mile from the village centre.
