Malham Cove: One of Yorkshire's Greatest Accessible Adventures

The Yorkshire Dales National Park now has two Trampers available to borrow from the National Park Visitor Centre in Malham, opening up one of the Dales’ most iconic landscapes to many more people.

The Trampers are capable of travelling to the foot of the magnificent Malham Cove, allowing wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to experience this breathtaking natural wonder. Standing around 260 feet (80 metres) high, the great limestone amphitheatre is one of Yorkshire’s most spectacular sights and has been shaped over thousands of years by the power of glacial meltwater.

Malham Cove lies just one mile north of the picturesque village of Malham, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. From the village car park, the route to the base of the Cove is about one mile. At a leisurely pace, it takes around 20 minutes to reach the Cove, with beautiful limestone scenery, dry stone walls and grazing sheep accompanying you along the way.

Visitors stand at the foot of the towering limestone cliffs of Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Bare trees and large limestone boulders frame the foreground, while people gather beneath the immense curved rock face, highlighting its dramatic scale against a blue sky with scattered clouds.
