Whernside walk from the Ribblehead Viaduct (Full Walk)

This Whernside circular walk from the Ribblehead viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales initially passes by the Ribblehead viaduct. Then it follows close to the Settle to Carlisle railway tracks before climbing to reach the summit of Whernside, which affords wonderful panoramic views out to the sea, and along the Lakeland Fells.

Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough, are collectively known as the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the 3 peaks route joining them is over 24 miles long and includes 1500 meters of climbing. The descent is down to Bruntscar before heading along pleasant tracks and fields along the base of Whernside to pass back out through the Ribblehead Viaduct.

We've set out where you can eat and drink nearby after the walk at the end of the video.
