At quiet times you might find free parking in the village but please avoid inconvenience to residents. Lonsdale Bus 581 takes 25 min from Kirkby Lonsdale via Ingleton, and continues to Austwick, Giggleswick and Settle.

Trains from Leeds run every two hours, taking 70 min via Keighley, Skipton, Gargrave and Giggleswick, and continuing to Bentham, Carnforth, Lancaster and Morecambe.
Where to eat
New Inn Hotel is the main eating place, so it gets busy and may sell out. Old Sawmill Cafe is at the top of Riverside at the start of the cave trail, open daily 9:30AM-4PM.
