Gaping Gill, 19/8/26, what an experience!
I’ve been wanting to do this for years and it didn’t disappoint!
Twice a year (usually 1 week in May and 1 week in August) tickets are available for members of the public to be winched into the incredible Gaping Gill.
The adventure starts with a walk from Clapham along Ingleborough Nature Trail to Trow Gill and then up to Gaping Gill.
The winch meet runs like clockwork with timed tickets and friendly volunteers running the whole operation.
My daughter and I were very fortunate to visit when both waterfalls were in full flow. The water drops 100 metres from Fell Beck into Gaping Gill cavern creating the highest, unbroken underground waterfall in Britain!
The cavern itself is large enough to fit York Minster inside!
It’s an incredibly exhilarating experience and one I will never forget!💦

A little tribute to Ribblehead Station as this week marks 40 years since the stations along the beautiful Settle-Carlisle line reopened following following their closure in 1970.
Here are a few photos that I’ve taken of Ribblehead Station over the 10 years we’ve been at Gauber Bunk Barn & Den
(we are less than a mile away from the station).
No matter the weather Ribblehead is a very special place! ☀️🌧️🌬️☃️

We would like to apologise that if over recent weeks you have been unable to get you coffee, parkin or beer fix in Horton before jumping on a train.

We find ourselves desperately short of volunteers to be able to open both Horton and Ribblehead station cafes at the same time. Sadly on these occasions when there is not enough staff Horton has to close.

We are actively recruiting more volunteers (could you help out - please get in touch if you can) and taking steps to try and keep Horton open more.

Thank you for your understanding.

Next week sees the formal anniversary of all the stations besides Appleby and Settle re-opening in 1986 as part of the campaign to save the line.

Events are being held at Garsdale and Ribblehead to mark this significant milestone and we hope you can come along and support us.

There is something on everyday between the 13th and 19th July at Ribblehead including a crime writing masterclass, a folk music evening and an Afternoon Tea so please do visit our website to explore, find out more and get yourselves booked on. Many of the events are completely free to attend but booking is required due to limited numbers.

If you are not booked on an event you are of course still welcome to pop along and visit the Visitor Centre and Tearoom but please be aware some areas may be closed off to the public during the events.
