Today's
walk is mostly easy although the climb up Gordale Scar is tricky. There
is lots to see as we take in all that Malham has to offer, and with plenty
of time to enjoy the surroundings of the Cove and village. _____________________________________ Distance : 7 miles / 11.25 km Type

It's a little tricky at first but soon becomes easier. The rest of the footpath remains steep throughout but it really shouldn't bother those without a head for heights. It's not very far to the top. Once there continue north for approximately 1 mile to join the lane junction below Seaty Hill Lane : Northwest along the left lane to join a track Track : Continue in the same direction to Lings Plantation near Malham Tarn Pennine Way Footpath : Continue north in the direction of the northern end of Malham Tarn. This short section of the route is part of the "Pennine Way" long distance footpath. Soon the turning point for this walk is reached, in view of the Boat House. In dry conditions this makes for a good refreshment or lunch stop MALHAM TARN Pennine Way Footpath : Retrace the route back to Lings Plantation but then continue continue along the Pennine Way and head for Tarn Foot. Continue to the lane near the car park. Cross the bridge and continue left and south for a short distance, past "Water Sinks", Combe Hill, between Whatlowes and Ing Scar and on to Malham Cove MALHAM COVE Pennine Way Footpath : Head west across the Limestone Pavement and descend into the Cove via the footpath steps. Have a good look round at the Cove before rejoining the Pennine Way, continuing to join the lane at Town Head Lane : South into Malham village MALHAM - End of the walk |
