Over the past 500 million years, tectonic plate movements have seen the Ingleborough area pushed northwards, at a leisurely couple of centimetres a year, from near the Antarctic Circle.

During that time and transition through the tropics, environmental conditions changed enormously, and the rocks and fossils of the area reveal the history of those changes. Folding and faulting reflect the effects of earth movements and mountain building and the most recent times have culminated with the ice-ages and erosion to form the present-day landscape with the caves and limestone pavements so typical of the Yorkshire Dales. The rocks have provided a natural resource, which for centuries has been quarried in the area.
