A Trio of Geological Wonders | Janet's Foss | Gordale Scar | Malham Cove | Walk Around Malham

Malhamdale - A Walking Tour of Malham, Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham Cove #englishcountryside #nationaltrust #visityorkshire #yorkshiredales #walkingtour #ukhiking #traveluk #malhamcove #janetsfoss #gordalescar #harrypotter Join me on this walk around Malhamdale - home to some of England's most dramatic limestone landscapes. The route took me firstly to Janet's Foss - a tranquil, fairy-tale woodland waterfall named after Janet, the queen of the local folklore and who is said to live in a cave at the back of the waterfall. Then it was on to Gordale Scar - a dramatic limestone ravine and glacial gorge formed over successive Ice Ages. The weather closed in at this point so I headed back to Malham village and had a look round Town Head Barn - an 18th century field barn restored by the National Trust. I then walked up to Malham Cove - a 260 foot high curving limestone cliff and natural amphitheatre which was formed over 12000 years ago by a giant waterfall carrying meltwater from retreating glaciers. It was then back to Malham for a final wander around. The weather wasn't great but it didn't detract from the beauty of the surrounding area. I hope you enjoy your virtual walk.
