Detailed Description

Malham Cove, one of the most famous wonders of the Yorkshire Dales, is a huge curving amphitheatre-shaped cliff formation of limestone rock. It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age more than 12,000 years ago

Interesting fact: The intricate limestone pavements may look strangely familiar - they featured in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Harry & Hermione set up camp on the top of Malham Cove and scenes from the film feature views across Malhamdale and down to Malham Village.

Goredale Scar is a limestone ravine. It contains two spectacular waterfalls and has overhanging limestone cliffs over 100 metres high.
