Malham

We haven`t done a walk in the Yorkshire Dales for a while ,so today we are heading for Malham.
There was a large pay and display car park close to the village of Malham where we start our walk.
We walk through the picturesque village and follow the way marker for Malham Cove ,the path is part of the Pennine Way.
                                               The Cove is a sight of grandeur as we approach.

We sit at the flat summit to take in the fabulous view and eat our sandwiches and enjoy a well earned rest for a while after the strenuous climb up a well formed stepped path.





We set off again down hill and after a beautiful walk we proceed along another path way which is taking us to the picturesque Gordale Scare.


We think about heading back to Malham Village, thinking we would need to follow the road (boring ) we are surprised to see a National Trust public footpath which hugs the river back to the village with the added pleasure of seeing a most beautiful waterfall named "Janet's Foss " what a gem of a find.


So we have had a beautiful walk with a fitting end with a mug of coffee in the "Muddy Boots " cafe :)
