Malham

Home to Malham Cove and Tarn but there is so much more to see and do in this tranquil village.

WHERE IS BEST FOR ME?

The picturesque village of Malham is surrounded by dramatic limestone scenery of cliffs, crags and scars. Lying in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Malham is a paradise for horse riders, mountain bikers, climbers and walkers.

Malham has been an inspiration to many artists and writers, including Turner, Wordsworth and Kingsley. In fact Kingsley was a regular visitor to Malham Tarn and wrote part of ‘The Water Babies’ Babies’ there.  David Dimbleby stated that some believe James Ward’s painting of Gordale Scar (Malham) to be one of the greatest triumphs in British landscape art.

The village hosts a number of events during the summer and there are some delightful pubs and tearooms to tempt you.

Due to the area’s outstanding natural beauty, conservation agencies are actively involved in helping to conserve the landscape and its wildlife, so visitors are asked to remain mindful of the countryside code during their stay and be responsible visitors.
