    Tips

    Car parks gets really busy. I got there early morning but it was too busy to park I came back late afternoon and it was a lot quieter. Farmers sometimes open fields that you can park in too

      Good place to sit and watch rock climbing.

        Malham Cove is a large curved limestone formation a short walk from the village of Malham. It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. Easy access to the cove from Malham and there are steps to the side of the cove which allow you to climb to the top. Careful very slippery at the top when on the limestone pavement in wet conditions.
