Taken from above the Yorkshire Dales village of Langcliffe in 2011 but just as attractive today. Looking at its best in the golden hour. Pen-y-ghent It is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet; the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside. It lies 1.9 miles east of Horton in Ribblesdale. Enjoy the day.

Enjoy this view of Pen-y-gent from high above the Yorkshire Dales village of Langcliffe. It is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet (694m), the other two peaks being Ingleborough and Whernside. In the foreground we have the familiar lime-stone pavement (flat pieces of lime-stone rock swept clean of surface soil by the weather) that is dotted with trees in some places and somehow manage to grow through the cracks. Just behind the pavement we see the dry-stones walls all too familiar in this part of the world too. Built when woodland around here was scarce to build fences and in any event, built to last, doing the twin jobs of marking out one’s land boundaries and also having the more practical purpose of keeping sheep and cattle from straying.

Around Settle and Langcliffe in our Yorkshire Dales there are a few limestone outcrops. Here we see one dominated by this lone tree. In the distance sits one of Yorkshires three peaks: Pen-y-ghent. The PiP shows a similar one not too far from here. Enjoy

Back to the Yorkshire Dales for this one taken a few years back now. Another dry-stone wall takes our eye towards the star of the show with one of the Dales ‘Three-peaks’ mountains, Pen-Y-Ghent. At 694m, not the highest mountain in the world but this stands out for many miles in these parts. Of course God’s light spot-lights the peak –as it should be! Enjoy full screen Have a good day.
