Walk the Three Peaks

There are loads of walks which allow you to explore the Three Peaks area as well as taking you to the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside.

Try a walk around Ribblehead

You can experience the thrill of reaching the summit of each peak through the blogs of our intrepid walkers who climbed them to mark the launch of the Friends of the Three Peaks in August 2009.

Reached the top? Why not print a certificate?

You can use either our online certificate that will print your name and climb date for you or you can print a blank certificate and write your name and climb date on it yourself.

Please note that the online version requires JavaScript to be enabled in your Web browser. Most browsers do, but if not, you should use the blank certificate.

You can also purchase exclusive aluminium medals to record your walk. They are year dated and available for Whernside, Pen-y-ghent, and Ingleborough or for the Three Peaks. They can be purchased from National Park Centres and many retailer, pubs and cafes within the Three Peaks area as well as our online shop.
