    Tips

    September 8, 2023

    Malham is one of the Dales' most popular little villages. It's worth a visit just to enjoy its quaint cafes, boutiques and lovely pubs. However, the village is synonymous with two of the national park's most stunning beauty spots.

    Firstly, there's Malham Cove, an extraordinary 230-foot (70 m) curved limestone cliff that's much loved by hikers and rock climbers alike. Then, there's the great cleft of Gordale Scar. This spectacular limestone gorge and its tumbling waterfall was thought to be the inspiration behind JRR Tolkien's Helm's Deep.
