The Craven Fault crosses the area, and geological and archaeological sites abound. Local attractions include White Scar Show Cave, the Waterfalls Walk, the nearby Settle-Carlisle railway and the famous Ribblehead viaduct.
The caves of Ingleton have been famous for centuries, with examples such as the Cave of Yordas in Kingsdale being mentioned in the 1700's by a passing priest. There are thousands of caves to visit.
Since 1885 visitors have come to the village to enjoy the wonderful Waterfalls Trail along the banks of the Rivers Twiss and Doe.
