A great winter walk, with long times without meeting other people, a classic ascent, and some stunning scenery.
B6160 to head of Littondale from A65, then 10 miles up valley to village of Litton.

A great walk with everything: country lanes, steep ascents, fantastic views from the top of the Ingleborough, a pub for lunch halfway, and a spectacular finale over Twistleton Scars and down the waterfall walks.
30 miles from Skipton on A65 towards M6, park at Ingelton

Walk from the station to the bustling town centre and you can't miss Skipton's answer to Harry Ramsden's. On the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Bizzie Lizzies is a former winner of UK Fish and Chip Shop of the Year and still packs them in, whether in the downstairs cafe and takeaway, or upstairs in the restaurant where genteel pensioners tuck in to their senior citizens specials.
Fish and chips isn't the only choice on the menu but other than mushy peas and sliced white bread you won't find many people eating anything else. Rightly so, since the fish is fresh as can be and the Yorkshire batter better than any 'down south'. Downstairs is a bit grim so get a table in the restaurant by the window and watch the canal boats go by.
