Must See Sights and Landmarks in Settle Area

"North of Malham village, a 0.75-mile field walk beside a lovely babbling stream leads to Malham Cove, a huge rock amphitheatre lined with 80m-high vertical cliffs. A large glacial waterfall once tumbled over this cliff, but it dried up hundreds of years ago. You can hike up the steep steps on the left-hand side of the cove (follow Pennine Way signs) to see the extensive limestone pavement above the cliffs – a filming location in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

"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."

"This rise overlooking Lancaster and the River Lune has been fortified since the Romans, and today’s castle sprang from the Norman Conquest. A lot of the surviving architecture, including the formidable gatehouse, is from a 15th-century reinforcement. The reason so much of Lancaster Castle has made it to the 21st century is that this was Europe’s longest functioning prison until it closed in 2011."

"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."
