The Strid is a section of the River Wharfe and considered to be one of the most dangerous sections of rivers in the UK. The river is forced through a narrow gap at Great pressure.

Trollers Gill is a narrow limestone gorge in the Yorkshire Dales, near the village of Appletreewick in North Yorkshire. It has a mysterious reputation tied to local folklore. 🥾A great adventure for those who enjoy off-the-beaten-path routes and perfect introduction to Ghyll scrambling. 📜 The gorge is said to be haunted by trolls, hence its name. According to legend, it is home to a fearsome barghest—a supernatural black dog with glowing red eyes, often associated with death and misfortune. Some stories also link the ghyll to mythical goblins and other eerie creatures, adding to its reputation as a place of mystery. 🪨 The gorge is cut into limestone, featuring rocky outcrops, scree slopes, and a sometimes dry streambed. It was likely formed by glacial meltwater, carving out the dramatic landscape seen today. The ghyll can be dry for much of the year, but after heavy rain, water flows through the valley.

Very slippery as you are walking on the dry (at the time of walking) stream bed - walking pole would be useful, otherwise take care of

Limestone pavement above Mallam.incredable

Not accessible if your not willing to do a Little Rock climbing!

Watlowes is the dry valley leading North from Malham Cove to Malham Tarn. It showcases the areas well known natural limestone and offers spectacular views.

A great boulder scramble when there has been heavy rainfall. If you don't fancy it then a shirt detour can be made

Stunning and IMO an even better view than Malham Cove. Make sure you incorporate this into your hike. This is one of my favourite views and circular hikes.

Watlowes Dry Valley is a deep limestone canyon, and an incredibly striking and dramatic place. In all likelihood, it was carved out by the glacial overspill from Malham Tarn going to what was once the highest waterfall in England (before England actually existed!).

If you are feeling brave and you are good at climbing, you can go up the waterfall and follow a path upto the top of Gordale Scar, but it's not easy and the flow of the water can change daily depending on weather and rain etc so this can increase the difficulty and danger, and plus like myself you might get wet feet lol.

Gordale Scar is a stunning natural wonder which is not that hard to navigate even if you're not familiar with the area. To make your experience more enjoyable, make sure to plan your route and be prepared for the steep climb up to the top of the waterfall. Be sure to pack appropriate gear for the weather conditions, as the gorge can be slippery and wet. Wearing sturdy shoes with good grip, and bringing waterproof clothing can help ensure you have a comfortable and safe experience.

Hiking up the waterfall area is dangerous at many times of the year...

Beautiful views start to finish

Really dramatic scenery and an exhilarating scramble when the gill is full of water! Don't forget to take a peek in the cave on the right-hand side as you reach the top of the gill!

The trail up (or down) the dry valleys between Malham Tarn and Malham Cove make great, exciting walking.

Brilliant walk, up to the Cove. Great views well worth it when you get there

Formed on Middle Craven Fault, the first thing that is likely to strike you is just how deep this gigantic collapsed cave system is. The path leading here is easy terrain, too, making this a case of maximum payoff for comparatively little effort — certainly in comparison with making it to the top of the Cove. Tired or not, we certainly don’t advise rushing this part of the adventure as you really don’t see places like this every day.

Probably the best place in Yorkshire for a picnic, not least if you manage to miss the crowds that can be sizeable during peak times and the busy season.

Malham Cove, where the cliff face stretches up an impressive 260 feet. The very top is badly eroded, and geology fans will be interested to know the limestone pavement is of a particularly rare pattern for this part of England. Spend some time taking in the raw majesty from the foot of the rock, which was carved out over centuries as the glacier that once stood here melted. A great place for echoes and acoustics.
