Not my first visit, but the first time back in decades. Just as stunning as I remember it being, right from the first views at the bottom of the cove. Well worth the climb to the top if you’re fit enough - we enjoyed a lovely picnic once up and great views, plus the limestone pavement is best seen up close from the top and can’t really be viewed any other way. Shame on those tourists who think it’s OK to push their litter in among the rocks. :( just take it home!! It’s lighter when you’ve eaten the contents so much easier and more compact to carry!!! Lovely flora and fauna to be seen along the walk. It’s also nice to continue and make it a circular walk if you have time, returning via Goredale Scar. The walk was quieter away from the cove too. Pity there were a few people who seemed totally unaware of social distancing and ploughed their way through, but for the most part, people were courteous and willing to wait at gates, narrow parts etc. It’s a stunning natural feature and a must if visiting the area.

We approached the scar after walking from Malham Tarn and were blown away by the gorge as seen from above. After walking down the hill side to the entrance of the scar, we entered the site and were pleasantly surprised to he met by a wonderful double waterfall. For the more skillful, it seems as though you can climb the waterfall and enter the canyon beyond as several people were climbing down after having done so. The site is a great example of the power of glaciation and is worth going out of your way to visit.

The Malham Smithy is the workshop of female blacksmith Annabelle Bradley, where she designs and hand forges sculptural and functional wrought ironwork. Annabelle uses traditional blacksmithing techniques combined with contemporary design in producing decorative items for the home and garden. The Malham Smithy is situated in the heart of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales village of Malham and has a gallery area displaying wrought ironwork as well as a viewing area, come and visit the historic Malham Smithy, and watch the blacksmiths at work. For adults, beginners one day courses in basic Blacksmithing techniques are run from the Malham Smithy, they are either one to one, or you can book for two people to come together. Afte a simple demonstration you will get straight into having a go at forging with hammer and anvil. You will be guided to safely use the hand tools and incorporate design into practical forge work.

I purchased a blacksmith full day course as a birthday present for my 66 year old Uncle who attended with my husband. From the very beginning Annabelle was great, even getting in touch and suggesting a gift card after I booked and paid online. Both my uncle and husband had an amazing day and we’re full of chat and enthusiasm about their day and commented on how great Annabelle was as a teacher. My uncle commented that this had been his best birthday present ever! Their products that they had made were equally impressive! Definitely worth the money and I have absolutely no problem in highly recommending this experience.

You can reach this spot by car and there is a big car park there but it's much more fun to walk up, We walked up from Malham Cove and it takes about an hour including a quite steep climb. We're glad we did take the time to get to the tarn by foot as it is a really peaceful place to sit and contemplate the natural beauty around you. In the summe there is an ice cream van and the walk back down the road to Malham is about 2 miles and takes about an hour pretty much all downhill.

Popped in for a quick look see on the way past. Very interesting but not a destination in itself. Owl holes were unexpected.
