The Pen-y-ghent Cafe is Closed Until Further Notice

Dear Customers/Friends

Our opening hours have recently been reduced and we are very sorry if they haven’t met your needs.

For a number of reasons outside of our control, we will be closing on Monday 3rd September 2018 for a prolonged period and until further notice.

We profoundly regret letting you down and causing disappointment or inconvenience, and wish to stress this decision has not been taken lightly.

We hope your trip here today is enjoyable

With warmest regards

All at Pen-y-ghent Cafe

The Pen-y-ghent Cafe is a popular destination to start the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. The cafe is very close to the National Park Car Park in Horton-in-Ribblesdale and offers a checking-in and checking-out system to officially record your time.

The cafe is also a shop and stocks any items you may have forgotten: clothing, torches, batteries, first aid supplies, food, maps and much more.
