About the Limestone Lion Walk

limestone-lion-malham-cove-300x215This a challenge walk and the challenge is:
Can you do the whole 35 miles in 24 hours?

The Limestone Lion is a 35-mile challenge walk from Ingleton to Grassington, established in 1976 as a classic long day’s walk or an ideal weekend wander through the Yorkshire Dales.

The walk was originally designed to complement and form a companion walk to the Three Peaks of Yorkshire. It was intended to divert some walkers off the eroded footpaths of the Three Peaks and onto a different challenge. It follows a natural limestone faultline and links some of the finest and most beautiful limestone features in the country.
