Malham Cove

Lots and lots of people, but then it was the Friday of the Jubilee weekend. Recommend the less obvious route from the Water Sinks car park, past where the water from Malham Tarn disappears into the ground, down the dry valley and through the gorge to the top of the Cove. This avoids most of the crowds. Views are spectacular!

Think this has to be my favourite hike in dales, very beautiful and options for short / long trails (this view is from bottom only). Stunning village to stay in, and plenty of options for places to eat.

Fabulous natural geological feature, 260 feet of sheer rock face. The steps to the top are challenging but you find eroded limestone formation very rare in the UK.
The village of Malham also provides a useful visitor centre and cafe, toilets etc.
Janet's Foss waterfall is also worth a visit on the circular walk.

We did the 4.5 mile walk. 5 pound all day parking at the visitor centre. The route starts and finishes there. Maps available to pick up at the visitor centre but honestly it's easy to follow the signposts. A few fields with livestock so would recommend keeping your dog on the lead.

The best hike that I have experienced. A bit rough in places especially when you get to the limestone pavements but wonderful views.

Lovely surprise waterfalls and streams, valley gorges and picturesque mountains.

Awesome place to visit, the walk isnt very long, i got about 10,000 steps there and back, parking is easy to find and you will need to pay. Amazing view close to the cove and amazing views when you get yo the top.

Beautiful circular walk (Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Cove) on a stunning day (2 Jan). Only icy on the bits of the path that never see the sun. The car park was heaving, but fortunately some nearby fields were opened for additional parking.

Lovely walk and views. Will definitely be coming again so can have a bigger explore. Maybe in summer. Some fantastic views from the top of the cove. Almost gave up on the walk up but glad I made it to see the fantastic view. Would recommend visiting here but walk suitable footwear and take some water.
