Scar End is a settlement on the side of Twisleton Scar in the English county of North Yorkshire.
This Scar itself is the end of a spur running westwards from Whernside, one of the Three Peaks, towards Ingleton, North Yorkshire,[1] and the beds of limestone project to a height of 120 metres (390 ft) above sea level.[2] Looking out towards the west from Twisleton Scar is Ingleton, to the South, is Ingleborough, and to the north is the view up the Kingsdale valley.[3] The settlement consists of a handful of buildings, one of which is Twisleton Hall.[4] The road into the settlement leaves the old Roman Road from Ingleton (Oddies Lane) into Chapel-le-Dale.[5]
Visitors walking the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail will approach Scar End by walking along Twisleton Lane.[6] Twisleton is spelled as Twisleton on OS maps and most sources, however, some sources state the place to be Twistleton.[7][8][9][10]
