for the Pecca Falls. In the distance you can see the lower part of the Falls and the Pecca
Bridge.
The final
steps to get on to Pecca Bridge are deep. You can get views of these falls from

Lower Pecca Falls
This first set are
in Pecca Glen, where the vegetation has changed from limestone to bracken and
heather on slate and sandstone. There are 5 main waterfalls in a series,
dropping a total of 100ft (30 metres). Most of
them are provided with wooden observation platforms, but not all of them are
easy to see. The river tumbles off the sandstone steps into the
plunge pools below, some of which are as deep as the falls themselves.
Pecca Twin Falls
This set of falls are not as high as some of
the others on the Ingleton walk, but there are two falls one higher than the other dropping down into
one plunge pool below. There is a viewing platform to get a good view and as the
steps wind away and up higher you can take a look back and get some aerial
effect shots of this part of the Pecca Twin Falls.
This waterfall is one of a number located on
the
Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
access
is available from this trail which is open to the public (with charges), see
walks location guide for common details.
