Twisleton Glen

Situated on the south western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, to the north of Ingleton (0.5 miles), this small wood sits on the west bank of the River Doe. The rock step, into which the Glen has cut, has formed because of the different resistance to erosion of the rocks laying each side of the Craven Faults. The notable geology includes hard carboniferous limestone along the course of the River Doe along with Ordivician slate, sandstones, and shale, exposed as the river has cut through the softer underlying rocks.
