Where the scene in Harry Potter was filmed where Harry and Hermione sat in the Deathly Hallows. Harry & Hermione set up camp in a tent on the Limestone Pavement at the top of Malham Cove, scenes from the film feature views across Malhamdale including the view to Cawden and down to Malham Village and Kirkby Malham. There is amazing views from this point over the scarred landscape. Malham Cove is a 70m (230ft) high curved crag of carboniferous limestone formed after the last ice age. Meltwater, particularly from Malham Tarn, cut back the cove as it fell over the edge as a waterfall. This erosion took place more actively at the lip of the fall, hence the curved shape. The cove was formed by glaciers that plucked rock from the cliff face and carried it away, and by meltwater that eroded the cliff face after the glaciers melted. The top of the cove is a limestone pavement with a distinctive pattern of limestone blocks called clints and fissures called grykes. The grykes have a more humid and warmer microclimate than the pavement, which supports different plant life. The top of the limestone has dry, stony conditions that support plants like Rock Rose and Thyme. Malham Cove once had a waterfall that was larger than Niagara Falls. The last time water flowed over the waterfall was in the 19th century, until extreme rain in 2015. Malham Cove is a short walk from the village of Malham, and is popular with rock climbers. Malham Cove has been featured in several films and TV shows, including Wuthering Heights, the previously mentioned Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Trip.
