Stunning place, amazing views. Extremely tight roads towards the village. Parking is on the street in the village if you are quick enough. Toilets are also in the village but no toilets around Malham Cove so make sure you went before 😉 path is easy enough for anybody however if you want to climb to the top you'll need to be ready for thousands of steep steps. Fascinating to watch the rock-climbers in action.
Fabulous place to visit!

Scenic place to walk & climb up to the rocky mountain. There is a small waterfall nearby. If you love walking & like natural beauties it's definitely a place for you to visit. Also, the drive towards that route is just stunning!

North Yorkshire is graced with so many beautiful places to visit. Malham Cove being no exception. It is a fair climb to the top, so a reasonable level of fitness is required, and sure footedness a must! Once at the top there are stunning views to be had. Very interesting geology to be seen too. If you're unable to make the climb, it is still well worth the visit. Getting there is pretty much on decent flat paths, and the breath taking view looking up at the Cove to greet you on arrival. There are several pubs nearby, serving lovely tasty food should you require it.

What a lovely visit! Walk down to Malham Cove took us around 20 minutes from the car park but it could be done quicker. The landscape is stunning and the area was overall a lovely place. Walked up the stone pathway to get to the top. Was around 400-500 steps and took us less than 30 minutes. The view from the top is breathtaking!

Well worth a visit, nice field and small woodland leading up to the cove, just beware of free roaming cows near path gates. Its not fun being chased by mad cows, but these cows seemed quite chill. Constant vigilance.

There's no doubt that the Cove and surrounding area is stunning. However, it is a tourist hot-spot ans for those really looking to connect with nature, there are more secluded places nearby that are almost as pretty without anywhere near the amount of people.

Really lovely and scenic walk. You do need to park about a mile away and walk in, but it’s totally worth it. Great place to enjoy with kids too!
