Did this loop at the beginning of December, was blown away by the waterfalls! They were in full swing which made them rather loud, but spectacular! Loads of parking here and toilets. There is also a small cafe and toilets half way around. The path is clearly marked.

Thornton Force waterfall is the largest waterfall on the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. A small word of warning - although not a real hike, the word trail undersells the difficulty of the round trip, one way route. Once you start the trail, you’re committed and you will definitely have a workout but nothing overly taxing, even for someone who’s scared of heights like me This is the best place to stop for a picnic on the trail. There’s some seated banking and you can paddle in the pool at the bottom of the falls. Thornton Force is the last waterfall you’ll meet on the outward journey of the trail

Amazing walk, stunning views. Had such a great time and will definitely be returning at some point. My only downsides is the fact that for the full 4 mile walk there was no dog bag bins! Was a slight pain to have to carry them round for hours. Also the £11 entry fee is quite steep. However the walk is amazing and id definitely recommend

Fantastic walk. £10 per adult well worth the price. Includes parking. Waterfalls are spectacular. The walk is tough in places. 4.3 miles will take between 2.5 to 4 hours depending on ability. Take snacks / water. If you are lucky you will get the ice cream van half way round.
