pen-y-ghent hill in the Yorkshire Dales on a sunny summer evening with exposed limestone rocks sticking out of the grass in the foreground. Pen-y-ghent is a mountain in the Yorkshire Dales. It is one of the so-called Three Peaks, the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside. It lies some 3 km east of Horton in Ribblesdale. The Pennine Way links the summit to the village; the route is around 5 km in length as the Way curves to the north. There is also a more direct route, as well as other paths starting from other locations. When climbed as part of the Three Peaks Challenge it is usually the first peak to be climbed, as the walk is usually done in an anti-clockwise direction. The name "Pen-y-ghent" in the Cumbric language means top of the Ghent.
