Walkers will delight in the range of scenery to be discovered in the area, with White Scar Cave, Ingleborough and the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve all within easy reach of the Lodge making for a wonderful day of rambling; why not spend an afternoon wandering the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail for a peaceful riverside adventure.

Venture further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park for more walking and cycling opportunities among the luscious green hills, and the renowned Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. If you came for scenery and not the walks, hop aboard the Settle Carlisle Railway, where you can sit back and soak up the views. Further afield you can get your heart racing with some hikes around the beautiful Lake District National Park, which is also reachable by car. Treat your loved ones to a memorable break at Gunner Lodge.

Situated in the heart of the famous Three Peaks, Chapel-le-Dale is a small hamlet consisting of the Ribblehead Viaduct, a railway station, a famous pub and a scattering of small farms and dwellings. The surrounding countryside of Ribblesdale is magnificent, offering the ideal location for fell walking, with the famous Three Peaks Walk, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough offering some of the most challenging walks in the country. The famous Settle to Carlisle Railway passes through the hamlet and has some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. The Ribblehead Viaduct, completed in 1870 is a magnificent structure and the sight of a steam train passing across the top is one not to be missed.

The village's well known White Scar Caves (a short walk away) are open to the public and have a dazzling display of stalactites and stalagmites, caverns and a huge underground lake. The Ingleton Water Falls Trail is a short walk downstream. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Hawes and Malham, as well as Kirkby Lonsdale and beautiful Dentdale.
