Malham Cove

What an absolutely breathtaking and fun-filled day we had at Malham Cove! My brother's family & mine visited on August 9th and it truly exceeded all our expectations. This isn't just a geographical wonder; it's a perfect destination for families looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure. ​The initial walk up to the base of the cove is stunning, but the real magic is reaching the top. The views from the famous Limestone Pavement are simply spectacular it felt like we were standing on the set of a fantasy movie (it's no wonder they filmed Harry Potter here). Both the adults & the kids(even the little ones) had a blast navigating the clints and grykes of the pavement. The sense of achievement once you look back over the Yorkshire Dales is fantastic. ​ We found a great spot near the stream before the ascent for a well-deserved picnic lunch. ​The kids loved spotting the climbers scaling the face & the variety of birds soaring overhead ​The whole day was filled with laughter, from challenging each other on the stone steps to the pure joy of reaching the summit. It was a bonding experience we'll cherish. ​If u r looking for a place where natural beauty meets family adventure, Malham Cove is it. It’s an easy-to-access wonder that offers a satisfying challenge & a massive reward in the form of unforgettable views. I recommend to my friends too :)

Went on a lovely hike with my family to Malham Cove. We visited in mid-May and the weather was perfect. It took around two hours to reach the top, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Definitely recommend wearing comfortable footwear, as the terrain is uneven and cobbly.

This is Mother Nature at its best!! Absolutely breathtaking scenery once you’ve reached the top. The limestone pavement is a marvel and the views across the Dales is spectacular!! Our dog loved the walk!! There’s a number of steps, sometimes uneven, so be careful. But it’s worth the climb to get there!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Malham Cove is stunning! The limestone cliff is incredible to see up close, and the walk to the top is definitely worth it for the amazing views. The limestone pavement at the top is unique and really special. A great place for walking, exploring, or just taking in the scenery. Peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable – highly recommend a visit! It is a bit of a trek and quite tiring!

Hard to know where to begin with a place like this. From the first glimpses of the cove on the approach to the views from the limestone pavement at the top, every step is a feast for the senses. Before you head straight for the top check out the glade at the base of the cove first. Almost surreal in it's beauty, it is the sort of place you never really want to leave, and in a sense I never will having carried a bit of it away with me in memory. Every step up towards the top provides sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside to enjoy. Not the easiest of walks, had to take advantage of several opportunities to rest on the way. The reward for your efforts though is worth it. An otherworldly landscape of limestone slabs and the deep fissures between them. Mind your footing as you cross but make sure you fully explore everything (views and all) that the top has to offer. An absolute must see destination in its own right. Put this on your to do list now if it's not already there.
