For
fine ales, superior home cooking,
and the very best in en-suite accommodation
The
picturesque village of Ingleton has been enticing visitors since the 18th
century, ever since the imposing viaduct was built to provide a good railway
service. The last train stopped some 30 years ago, but the popularity
of Ingleton has never waned. Spectacular scenery and natural dramatic
landscape is Ingleton's boast - not only is there Britain's biggest cave,
at White Scar, but also the biggest pothole, Gaping Ghyll
A
must for any visitor is a walk around the north's finest series of water
falls - a well kept secret until 1885 when the routes were opened to the
public. For those more adventurous, the Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent
and Whernside provide good hardy walking, all over 2,000ft and within
easy striking distance of the Wheatsheaf.
Nearby are the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, the spectacular English Lakes,
historic Bronte Land, charming Herriot Country and the unspoilt Trough
of Bowland
Ingleton
is a superb centre for outdoor pursuits, a fine touring base and an excellent
walking area.
Steeped in history, our 17th Century Coaching Inn was extended in the 1800's to include the blacksmiths shop and stables, now our dining room. One of the upstairs rooms was the court house to the Ewecross district. Here the JP's met to renew the licenses for the many Inns in the area, and also to deal with petty crime. The Wheatsheaf has also been used as a Coroner's Court.
Nowadays,
Hayley and Jeremy aim to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere,
where you can enjoy traditional cooking and superior accommodation in
relaxed and friendly surroundings. King size beds are a feature in most
of the 9 well appointed non-smoking bedrooms, all of which have colour
television, tea and coffee tray and en-suite facilities.
A
new addition is our deluxe room with en-suite facilities and a beautiful
4-poster bed, ideal for that special romantic weekend away.
The Wheatsheaf is renowned, by tourists and locals alike, for quality home cooking in its Dining Room. The extensive blackboard menu centres around traditional dishes with an emphasis on freshly cooked vegetables, local produce, old fashioned puddings and, above all, friendly service. In addition to the main menu a variety of daily specials are also available, and may include our very own Steak and Black Sheep ale pie. Quality vegetarian dishes are always available.
Holiday cottages now available, one bedroom and two bedroom, purpose and newly built to the highest standards.
| Alternatively you may wish to dine in the bar area with its hand-pulled cask ales and log fires. Outside, there is a large beer garden with a Bird of Prey corner where you may meet Hatty - one of our resident hawks. |  |
