There are so many incredible places to visit, but one of our favourites is Pen-y-Ghent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a classic Yorkshire Dales walk! Pen-y-Ghent is the smallest of the peaks in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, but we think it\u2019s the best. It offers incredible views, a fab little rocky scramble and if you\u2019re lucky (and this is probably one of the only benefits to there being epic amounts of rain) you might get to see Hull Pot Beck pouring over the side of the immense collapsed cavern of Hull Pot, creating a spectacular waterfall! (If the rain is truly intense, it has been known on occasion to fill up all the way to the top, like some enormous bath tub! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section
