The
meltwaters of the Ice Age created this spectacular ravine.
. . through woodland and wild flowers. Since its creation in 1970
it has celebrated Reginald Farrer who introduced many alpine species
from China, Tibet and Upper Burma. The rhododendrons are amazing.
Views
from the summit are stunning, looking across to Ribblehead Viaduct,
to Whernside and Pen-y-ghent and southwest to the sea.
Conducted
tours lead you through an exciting underground world of stalactites
and stalagmites.
Here
a sea of erratic boulders covers the landscape, some perched on
plinths of limestone.

easy trail leads you up from the old sawmill, past the lake and
towards Ingleborough .
