North of Greater Manchester lies the spectacular scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. Unlike the Lake District, this national park feels wilder and more untouched than its neighbour.
It’s a landscape of rolling green hills, limestone crags and hidden waterfalls. Among the rising fells are the three mountains which make up the iconic Three Peaks challenge, where people attempt to climb Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in under 12 hours.
Overlooked by the lowest fell (Pen-y-Ghent) is the tiny village of Horton in Ribblesdale, which has a population of a little over 400 people. Despite its modest size, this picturesque cluster of cottages lures visitors who are embarking on the Three Peaks Challenge.
