Malham Force

Malham Force

The question of whether Malham Force is actually a waterfall, is one that that has been debated for many years, 
But this year, after all the rain, IT FLOWED - The first time in 200 years! 
Unfortunately I didn't get chance to photograph it, although many did. 

I have decided to include it just because of its beauty and Location.

It is, as described by the "World Waterfall Database" thus- 

 "This is a wet weather waterfall which only flows immediately after prolonged periods of rain."

Its location at Malham Cove is well known and access is easy.

Janet's Foss

Janet's Foss

Janet's Foss along with Gordale Scar make up the 2 Falls around the village of Malham. 

Walk back towards Malham for approx 100m, There is a signpost indicating the Pennine way on the left, go through the kissing gate and foss is in front of you down the stone cut steps.

Gordale Scar

Gordale Scar

Gordale Scar along with Janet's Foss make up the 2 Falls around the village of Malham. Whilst there is a walk of approx 600m from the parking area to get to Gordale Falls, The walk is steady along a gravel path.

 The difficult bit is climbing up the bottom fall to get to the top one. I bit too much for me but my friends (who are a bit more nimble) managed it. I wouldn't advise coming back down the same way, and would suggest that if you are intent on climbing up, you then continue following the Pennine Way route up toward Malham Tarn.
