Situated at the head of the Ribble Valley next to the famous Ribblehead Viaduct that carries one of Britain's most famous Railway Lines the Settle to Carlisle Railway.
This is an excellent pub with a very welcoming atmosphere and is a good place to spend a few hours.. It is on the B6255 Ingleton to Hawes Road. It can be reached easily by Public Transport as it is situated at the end of the lane from Ribblehead Railway station that has direct trains from both Leeds and Carlisle.

You may camp behind the pub. There are no other campsites I know of with such a unique view as the Ribblehead viaduct.
It is surrounded by three mountains Inglebourough, Peny Ghent and Whernside and is ideally situated for the Three Peaks Walk.
