Ingleton
Ingleton soon went onto the tourist agenda when the railway line arrived
in Settle in 1849. So it wasn't long before a group of residents, recognising
tourist potential in the local scenery, formed the "Ingleton Improvement
Society" in 1884, and over the next thirty years created miles of
paths, built steps and bridges all along the the valleys of the Doe and
Twiss, which, probably because the word sounded more romantic, were called
glens! The village streets are narrow and winding, the whole place is so compact.
Nearby the late Victorian church has one of the finest Norman fonts in
Yorkshire. |
