13. Walking over from Gordale Scar to the spectacular Malham Cove
Gordale and the entrance to Gordale Scar form the path to Malham Cove.
The contoured fields in Gordale, viewed when heading over towards Malham Cove.
The hardy swaledale sheep grazing in the lovely peaceful limestone meadowland, which are `all over the Yorkshire Dales.
The magnificent Malham Cove, carved out of the limestone cliffs by thousands of years` of river flow and wild orchids grow beautifully above it. Like Gordale Scar (page 9), a major tourist attraction.
* The Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire and East Cumbria and the North Pennines form a wonderful part of Northern England to visit for walking or car touring holidays. The scenery is magnificent and the countryside, villages and towns rarely seem overcrowded and the people always friendly. There is lots to see and do and plenty of accommodation available from hostels, hotels, bed and breakfast, holiday cottages etc. whether for weeks or a weekend mini-break when holidaying near Malham or Goredale, North Yorkshire. * page updated April 13th 2007 * EMAIL Phil Brown * Images-photographs-pictures-photos-webshots of walking near Goredale Scar-Malham Cove © Dr W P Brown * |
