Potholing - Our many Caving and Potholing visitors enjoy the hundreds of challenging caves in the area.

Walking - We are the place to stop to walk the famous three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres - the highest peak in Yorkshire) and Ingleborough (723 metres). An ideal place to take a break too for a huge range of walks - with our close proximity to Dales Way, Settle-Carlisle, Ribble Valley Way, Centurion Way, Pennine Way, and Alternative Coast to Coast.

Mountain biking - A great place to start, finish, and take a break with the miles of Green Lanes and Bridle ways around us.

Rail Enthusiasts - Why not properly take in one of the most fabulous stretches of the Settle to Carlisle Railway.

With the Visitor Centre now in place at Ribblehead Station (150 yards from The Station Inn), we are your best stop off point, for a drink, some lunch, and / or an overnight stay.

Ribblehead offers one of the most stunning views of the Settle to Carlisle Railway. With such a backdrop draw breath as one of the regular steam trains crosses the world famous Ribblehead viaduct in full view from the back of The Station Inn. The viaduct measures 104 feet high ; 440 yards long ; with 24 arches it was built 1870 to 1875.

Quoting from the Settle to Carlisle web site information on the viaduct.

"Ribblehead viaduct is the largest and most famous viaduct throughout the whole of the Settle to Carlisle railway line.. set in one of the most beautiful and spectacular areas."

We have a lot more besides - With numerous SSSI's and nature reserves in the area botanists are regularly catered for. With a ski lift only 4 miles up the road (Weather permitting) - you can see we definitely have something for everyone.
