Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge
Welcome to the home of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough,
usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle
the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
How to take part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge
You can complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge either as part of an organised
event, or as a self organised group. We've got two dates available this year, or
we can arrange private events for large groups.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge includes:

Most walkers would start with Pen-y-ghent, from the village of Horton in Ribblesdale
- there is the option of checking in and out at the Pen-y-ghent Cafe. Bear in mind
that the traditional Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge involves returning to your
starting point to fully complete the Challenge.
