Malham Village
Highlight • Settlement
Firstly, there's Malham Cove, an extraordinary 230-foot (70 m) curved limestone cliff that's much loved by hikers and rock climbers alike. Then, there's the great cleft of Gordale Scar. This spectacular limestone gorge and its tumbling waterfall was thought to be the inspiration behind JRR Tolkien's Helm's Deep.
