Janet's Foss

Janet's Foss is a beautiful waterfall nestled among trees on the footpath from Malham Village to Gordale Scar. You can splash around in the waterfall and its plunge pool, making it a popular spot, especially at peak times (weekends, warm weather, bank holidays etc).

Attermire Scar

Highlight • Trail

The skyline above Settle makes for a tremendous day out for hikers. There is no central peak to go for, just a jagged collection of rocky high points that make for a really good walk, but you will find a trig point on Warrendale Knotts. You will find a lot of caves in the area too due to the terrain being dominated by limestone, and nearby Victoria Cave is the largest of these caves. All in all, Attermire Scar is an impressive geological feature.

Victoria Cave

Highlight • Natural Monument

Amazing series of caves in Langcliffe Scar above Settle. Discovered in 1837, the cave was found to contain fossils dating back 130,000 years ago from animals including mammoths, hippo, spotted hyenas, bears and reindeer. Later deposits dated after the last ice age found a harpoon head carved from antler and flint tools, a material that doesn't naturally occur in the area.

Giggleswick Scar

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Giggleswick Scar, a large limestone outcrop that runs for approximately a mile just outside Settle, marks a length of the South Craven Fault. It's festooned with caves and trees, and is quite the imposing edifice to eat your sandwiches underneath.

This amazing limestone outcrop towers above Giggleswick and is studded with caves, cliffs and limestone pavement. There is an official footpath along the crest, as well as a number of good climbers paths through the trees

Be prepared to get muddy, protect your head and take a torch.

Specular limestone waterfall which is understandably popular and gets very busy. For the best experience, visit on a wet and blustery autumn or winter's day when not only will the waterfall be in full flow, but you might actually get to see it without all the 'wild swimming' instagrammers

Worth the short diversion off the path.

Arriving at a style gate, pass through and enter thick woodlands where you’ll be in earshot of Janet’s Foss — sounds guiding you to the final destination: a hidden waterfall and plunge pool hemmed in by trees that feels a million miles from the stress and strains of modern life.

A very pretty walk, so many different views and then leading into a forest where the fall is. A lovely easy walk on its own.
