Clapham

In the shadows of the mighty Ingleborough lies a beautiful and tranquil village.

WHERE IS BEST FOR ME?

The unspoilt pretty village of Clapham lies in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is the focal point for many walks to suit all abilities from a gentle stroll around the village to climbing the mighty Ingleborough, one of the Three Peaks. Great limestone cliffs tower above the surrounding fields and a variety of birdlife and rare species of plants can be seen on the limestone pavements.

There are a number of delightful places to stay and to eat, and the village is also home to the Cave Rescue Organisation and the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust. As Patron of The Trust, his HRH The Prince of Wales visited the village in March 2005 to re-launch the Donate to the Dales appeal.
