A dominant feature of the Horton in Ribblesdale skyline, Pen-y-ghent has a distinctive and inviting shape, its steep upper flanks rising out of the surrounding limestone. Many walkers, following the direct approaches shared by the Three Peaks walk and Pennine Way, merely touch upon the summit and then immediately descend, missing out on a highly enjoyable broad ridge. This walk makes the most of that ridge from Plover Hill, as well as passing two enormous natural chasms. Hunt Pot is a classic pothole, 60m deep, with a stream tumbling into the entrance. Nearby Hull Pot is shallower - the floor of the main shaft barely 20m from the surface, but at 90m long and 20m wide it is a spectacular sight.
