Must See Sights and Landmarks in Malham Cove Area

"There are a few reasons to head deeper into the Yorkshire Dales, setting a course for the village of Malham, a few short miles to the east. One of these is to experience the majesty of the nearby Malham Cove, a curved limestone cliff topped with limestone pavement. This is the result of a giant waterfall carrying meltwater at the end of the last Ice Age over 12,000 years ago."

"This curving limestone rock face is shaped like an amphitheatre, making it an unusual sight. It attracts rock climbers, nesting peregrine falcons, and offers incredible clifftop views over the dale below!. This is one of the top places to see in the Yorkshire Dales and perfect for outdoorsy folk."

"Lancaster's most imposing building is the castle, built in 1150 but added to over the centuries: the Well Tower dates from 1325 and is also known as the Witches' Tower because its basement dungeon was used to imprison the accused in the infamous Pendle Witches Trial of 1612. Also dating from the early 14th century is the impressive twin-towered gatehouse. Visits are by guided tour only as the castle is used as a Crown Court."

It has 24 huge stone arches that reach 104 feet (32 metres) above the moor. If you’re a photography lover looking for photogenic places in the Yorkshire Dales, you can’t miss this!"

"What makes Skipton Castle so fascinating is its splendid state of preservation, providing a striking contrast to the ruins you'll see elsewhere. Although it is lauded as one of the best-preserved medieval castles in England, many of its most memorable features date to Tudor times. Entrance is through the original Norman archway, which leads to a Tudor courtyard with a yew tree planted by Lady Anne Clifford in 1659, and beyond that a warren of rooms to explore. Grab the informative free illustrated guide to the castle from the ticket office, available in several languages."

"Proudly calling itself the “smallest gallery in the world”, the Gallery on the Green is in the red Upper Settle phone box bought by the town council in 2009. This is a K6 type phone box, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 (who also designed the power station that became the Tate Modern). The space was soon handed over to the local organisation Cultivating Settle, who turned it into a one-of-a-kind gallery open 24 hours a day."

"We were on our way to Malhamdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, about an hour north and a bit west of Leeds, when we spotted a church tower in the rural community of Kirkby Malham and decided to take a look. What we found was a charming 15th-century parish church nestled in a churchyard on a side lane in a community too small even for the designation of “village.” The church, however, serves a large parish of 37 square miles. Entering the church, we noticed a small, modern statue of St. Michael located in a niche above the entrance."

"Within easy reach of the town, East Riddlesden Hall is a stunning national trust property which makes for a great day out or even a venue for a special occasion. The current 17th century manor house sits on an estate with roots stretching back to the 7th century. Enjoy the house, tearoom, and grounds of this beautiful spot."
