Malham North Yorkshire Map

About Malham

Malham, a jewel of the Yorkshire Dales, captures the wild spirit of its moorland setting. It lies 8.2 km east of Settle (from Settle: bearing 95°T, OS grid SD 900 628), and is situated north-north-east of Kirkby Malham village. The village itself, with its sturdy limestone buildings, seems to grow organically from the earth, a testament to centuries of human presence against a backdrop of dramatic geological formations. The air here often carries the clean, sharp scent of rain-washed stone and heather, especially when the sun breaks through the frequent clouds, casting a luminous glow upon the surrounding hills. Malham beckons explorers to its famous natural wonders, including the awe-inspiring Malham Cove, a vast limestone amphitheatre carved by ancient glacial meltwater, and Gordale Scar, a breathtaking natural gorge. The gentle bleating of sheep often drifts in from the pastures, a timeless sound that underscores the enduring connection between Malham and its pastoral heritage.
