Formed during the ice age this enormous cove and dramatic limestone pavement (like something you'd expect on the moon) are a natural wonder of the countryside. It's well worth the trouble to walk and climb to take in the fantastic scenery.

Lots of steep steps so probably not for everyone! Beautiful area with some amazing views. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely go back.

Beautiful walk taking in Janets Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham Cove. Just under 10miles, moderate, can be sloppy underfoot if weather is misty / wet. Finished off with a drink in the Lister Arms

Great bit of British landscape. Not a difficult walk. Ideal for clambering over and a great view when you go round the corner.

Another bit of incredible Dales scenery. Easily accessible along a 600 metre flat path, turning the corner to be confronted by the waterfall cascading down in between the vertical canyon walls is a magic moment.

Recommended by hotel staff. Not for the faint hearted. Beautiful views when you reach the top and even better refreshments when you reach the bottom on the other side. Doggy heaven.

I visited Malham over a day, when I was taking a break from the Pennine way (my back hurt) putting up my tent in Shadow on Goredale Scar which i explored over the next day I went to see Malham Cove the next day though weather was less good that day (later on i got wet) both are lovely sight Gordale is especially impressive with fast running water and essential viewing if in Malham, best viewed in fine weather.

Boyfriend and I together with some friends were staying at Beck Hall which is an easy 15/20 minutes walk to Malham Cove.We were so fortunate to arrive just as the Skipton Brass Band and a group of carol singers began performing. There were quite a good number of visitors all drinking some very welcome mulled wine. It was a fabulous and festive way to enjoy such a spectacular setting.

Malham is the most visited village in the Yorkshire Dales and you can see why when you visit. It is so cute and very quaint. The Cove is a must to see and the a lovely walk. You can also walk around to Janets Foss from Malham through to the Gordale gorge and then over the moors to joint up to the road that then leads back down to Malham. Would recommend hightly
