If you’re looking for an unforgettable countryside escape that combines dramatic landscapes, iconic landmarks, and improved accessibility, it’s time to discover Malham. Located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Malham is one of the most loved destinations in the UK – and now, it’s more accessible than ever.
Thanks to the Malham Access Hub, visitors can explore some of the Dales’ most famous natural wonders using an all-terrain wheelchair, opening up adventure to more people than ever before.

Why Visit Malham?
The charming village of Malham is a gateway to some of the most spectacular scenery in northern England. Rolling hills, limestone formations, and crystal-clear streams make it a must-visit destination for walkers, nature lovers, photographers, and families.
Malham is particularly famous for:
The towering limestone cliffs of Malham Cove
The dramatic ravine of Gordale Scar
The peaceful riverside walk towards Janet’s Foss
Now, with improved countryside access, even more visitors can experience these iconic locations.
The Malham Access Hub at The Lister Arms
The Malham Access Hub is based at The Lister Arms, a welcoming pub right in the centre of the village. It’s the perfect starting point for your day out – easy to find, friendly, and surrounded by stunning scenery.
From here, visitors can borrow a Kymco Maxer, a robust all-terrain wheelchair designed to handle uneven countryside paths and give users the confidence to explore further.
Three Iconic Routes, One Incredible Experience
Using the Kymco Maxer, you can choose from three unforgettable routes, each showcasing a different side of Malham’s natural beauty:
🌿 Malham to Janet’s Foss
Enjoy a tranquil riverside route through Malhamdale. This accessible path offers peaceful views and a true sense of being immersed in nature. Please note that the accessible route stops before the waterfall itself.
🪨 Gordale Scar
Journey down to Gordale Scar, one of the most dramatic limestone ravines in the UK. Towering rock walls and a sense of scale make this an awe-inspiring destination and a highlight of any visit to the Yorkshire Dales.
⛰️ Malham Cove
Head up to the legendary Malham Cove, a huge curved limestone cliff formed by thousands of years of water erosion. It’s one of the most photographed landmarks in the Dales – and seeing it in person is even more impressive.
Accessible Adventure in the Yorkshire Dales
The Malham Access Hub is part of a growing movement to make the countryside more inclusive. Whether you’re a wheelchair user, have limited mobility, or are supporting someone who does, this hub makes it possible to enjoy fresh air, freedom, and famous landscapes without barriers.
After your adventure, return to The Lister Arms to relax, enjoy food and drink, and soak up the welcoming village atmosphere.
