If you park at the Malham Visitors Center, be prepared to walk 1.1 miles up a hill then back down to the Janet's Foss waterfall and swimming hole. The rocks can be a bit slippery, so wear hiking shoes and go early morning or late afternoon as it's super busy in the middle of the day. Gorgeous fresh water, nice and clear. You could always stop at the little cafe on the way back to refresh yourself, or wait until you get back to the Visitors Center to have something. It's all dog-friendly.

Visited here as part of a lovely 8.5 mile circular walk from Malham via Janet's Foss, Goredale Scar and Malham Tarn to finish at Malham Cove (although there are plenty of options for a much shorter walk). The cove itself is an amazing feat of nature which kids and adults alike were enjoying clambering on the rocks and jumping over the gaps. Small children would need to be kept an eye on though as the walk across does involve stepping over rocks that often have quite big gaps between them and there's a sheer drop at the edge. I imagine the rocks could be pretty slippy in wet weather, but on the day we went it was beautiful sunshine and the views across the dales were great.

There are two parts you can walk. The first is a pretty easy walk from the village to the base of Malham Cove. The river is lovely, you can see cattle roaming, and of course the view of the majestic sheer rock is great. The second part is a steep walk to the top of the cove which is hard work but worth it. The rock formations are so fun to step over and the views are very impressive! Might be too slippery on a very wet day but on a clear one it’s gorgeous. The whole thing with some photo taking can be done in about 1.5 hours but I would have loved to spend another half hour or more at the top. Nice place to picnic on a warm enough day!

We parked up in Malham village visitors car park and walked the trail to the cove which was outstandingly massive as you look up from below. We then took the steps to the top which it very much worth the view. I wouldn't recommend taking dogs across the cove top as we saw many falling between the cracks that run along the surface of rock. We then carried on our walk round until we got to the road on the other side which took us back into the village.

Malham Cave is located in the surroundings of the very small and homonymous town called Malham, which is located in the middle of England. The name is cave, but really here you can see a very nice natural Cirque and a river with a little waterfall (I came here the first days of December). It is a very nice place, and probably the most known place in the surroundings of Malham. It is possible to arrive there in a very easy hike from the town and here it is a very nice place to stop and relax and enjoy with the river and the vertical cliffs. Also, if you want, you can continue the hike going up the cliff in the left side. At the top, you can see very beautiful views of the surroundings and very curious rock formations called Malham Lings. (See also Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar and The Clapper Bridge)

This was the penultimate walk of our Yorkshire Dales holiday, especially for my son, who was inspired to visit after one of his geography lessons. (Thank you, Geography teacher!). I must say that it didn't disappoint. We started at 9am so we could get the bulk of the walk completed before the crowds. Malham to Janet's Foss, Goredale Scar, Malham Tarn, and finally Malham Cove. 9 miles of spectacular scenery and a very happy teen!

It was a perfect sunny day and to resist a walk and hike up the many stairs to climb to the top of Malham Cove wasn't'an option. You are rewarded with a vista of the Yorkshire Dales that you will not forget in a hurry! We decide to undertake the other two walks in one hit, (Gordales Scar and Janet's Foss which is known as the Malham Landscape trail 7.2 km circular walk) and left us spellbound and really satisfied that we pushed on.

This is an overwhelming piece of scenery. Indescribable. We took the endless-seeming well-made steps up to the top and enjoyed the fabulous views. We walked here by the old path through the fields. Nice walk but dirty feet! To get back we used the road. The footpath has been made and gravelled, so much better than it used to be. Right under the cliff you have to walk on the wet stones if you want to get closer.

A nice trek to a spectacular view. A bit of a walk from the car park until you get to trek along the track. Worth the effort but not for the less mobile unless you have a mobility scooter. Nice cafe near the car park.

Worth a visit on its own to see its dramatic façade or as part of a lovely circular walk of about 5 miles taking in Janet's Foss and Goredale Scar (which if walked anti-clockwise means you avoid going up the steep steps to the pavement at the top of the cove). This is a natural wonder with its limestone crags and very popular with walkers. Wear sturdy shoes as those without struggled to pick their way across the pavement with its many natural gaps.
