Directions
Follow B6479 from Settle to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Pen-y-ghent is usually climbed via footpaths from Horton (approx. 2 miles, 1500ft of ascent). The shortest route is via Brackenbottom and the last stretch involves a fairly easy scramble over rocks; the Pennine Way route via Tarn Bar is slightly longer but involves no scrambling.Access
